Uh (uh)
I'm not the usual, I go against the grain
I'm not the usual, I go against the grain (yeah)

I was on my mission for money, hella things was comin' secondary
Like the month of February (uh huh)
Fake and snake vibes, you never catch 'em near me (nah)
As far as rap, I bury cats like Pet Cemetery (ha ha)
Still ain't universally accepted (woo)
Yeah, this lesson sketched up in my theories
It's cool, I keep it smoother than the leathers in the seven series
Ain't no stress, you hear me? (you hear me?)
My shorty asked me, "Where do you think this gift of gab will get you?" (huh)
I said, "Around the world", we travel cities, packin' venues (let's get it)
These ain't no corny bars, these raps official
Then smack 'em
Just like a canvas shoppin' bag that's packed with raps and nickels (blaow)
I put that on my dads initials
I'm from the hood where brother's brandish pistols
Over petty beef and standard issues (talk that talk)
So our physical interactions, it wouldn't be safe (what?)
And handshakes, you never know which one could be your last day (never)
And life ain't all peaches and cream and crab cakes (yeah)
That's why I hustle hard
Things ain't workin' out when you stuck in some bad shapes (that's right)
My brother's fours up, that bond is unbreakable
It's unmistakeable, there so much love its unexplainable (huh)
Look, the eyes see what they've been trained to view
My God never blessed me with a basic view (never)
Watch where I'ma take this too, look (let's go)

I'm not the usual, I go against the grain (uh huh, goin')
I stool tall when plenty would have folded from the pain (uh huh, keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (what)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)
My words impactful when they spoken on the stage (uh huh, keep goin')
I scheme like Andy Reid, no I ain't normal with the plays (what? keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (uh huh)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)

I got a ride backseat in the truck nowadays (skrrt)
I'm feeling like a boss, but some think I'm a player (think I'm a player)
Rent the reek and f*ck what they talkin', I can't hear 'em speakin'
Nigga fake, we pickin' 'em off like we playin' defense
It's hi-def or tatted, rhyme for my mathematics
Sellin' merch from the turf and they lined up to grab it
Passionate with bars, we clashin' it with stars
Sayin' prayers for my peers, while I'm ashin' the cigar
At least five times a day, I'm bustin' hunnid dolla' licks
One phone call to my youngin's, they be runnin' down with blicks (brr)
When I'm finished with this verse, I'm throwin' a crack tour (crack tour)
If you cop a quarter brick, then you gettin' it half off (get that half off)
Ballin's fallin' off, now all of 'em back poor
Show 'em where you live they kick in your back door (boom, boom, boom)
I said, "You show 'em where you live, they kick in your back door"

I'm not the usual, I go against the grain (uh huh, goin')
I stool tall when plenty would have folded from the pain (uh huh, keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (what)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)
My words impactful when they spoken on the stage (uh huh, keep goin')
I scheme like Andy Reid, no I ain't normal with the plays (what? keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (uh huh)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)

Look
I feel like cap, I won't cross my heart for no star spangle
When you realize this shit designed for you to fail
Then it's gon' change you
Attack your character from all angles
Give my shirt off my back to these niggas
And they still not at all grateful (I peeped that)
Countin' my blessin's man, I couldn't be more grateful
My grandmama used to say, "I pray that the Lord save you"
My bitch lookin' like she fell from heaven in Palm Angels
You know it's the orange Wraith when the Don came through (woo)
Sendin' niggas to God, I'm givin' them all halos (uh-huh)
Large Draco's, leavin' the car mangled (woo, woo, woo)
Livin' on Richlawn we couldn't afford cable (uh)
But it was always warm plates on my mom's table (facts)
Now look at me in my city, I'm for sure staple (woo)
Leadin' by a land slide, not a small ratio (I got these niggas)
Richer you get, the more they gon' hate you (I know)
F*ck 'em, this Russian K punch 'em like Lomachenko (brr)

I'm not the usual, I go against the grain (uh huh, goin')
I stool tall when plenty would have folded from the pain (uh huh, keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (what)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)
My words impactful when they spoken on the stage (uh huh, keep goin')
I scheme like Andy Reid, no I ain't normal with the plays (what? keep goin')
Check the schematics how it's molded in my frame (uh huh)
Solid, I remain until the endin' of my days (until the endin' of my days)
