Is it time, green light Egotistic, battle cry I was right, you was wrong Called you out, finished strong Whiskey sour, lemonade, fences at my barricade I had heart, you had spades I can see the color in your face fade And that's how it is Ain't no riddle Crunchy on the edge, but soft in the middle I've got a lot, you've got a little I'm gonna play both drums You can play the fiddle Play real slow, Lean on the bow Everybody's sad when they miss the free throw Bass to control I'm on the roll Right all along And I knew it in my soul I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh You already know I told you I told you I told you so, I told you I told you I told you so, Fell so good Doesn't it? Winning while they Flubbin' it I was right You was wrong I figured I would write it in a hip hop song Was it so hard to believe? I can make it being me Drank too much My gosh, you know People say a lot of things That could be real small We can push them out of the way iced latte tall I don't really care, I'm already there Caffinated, up to my eyes, I swear I'm on the top, You're on the flop Going so long? And I'm never gonna stop Bass to control I'm on a roll Right all along And I knew it in soul I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know You already know I told you I told you I told you so oh, I told you I told you I told you so oh, Look at me now Fifteen rounds Bottle in my hand Pour a little on the ground Next time you wanna talk crash Imma put it on blast You can get it if you ask for it Put it in the middle finger for the fat ladies hangin' out Shadder up ya glass house, oops, ni hao Meanwhile I smile, then I go Animal Sytle I be rackin' up another million, Making me another killin', superwoman, Earnin' top dollar bill, And you muster up a lot of feelings Tell me what you really think about it Kiddin', I don't even care Nobody listens to a fools gold coated hater, Be a baller not a traitor please Hand me on my knees Talk to you later, then I'm gonna Whoop, there it goes! Right all along and I knew it in my soul I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh You already know I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh I told you so Don't wanna brag But you already know oh You already know I told you, I told you, I told you so I told you, I told you, I told you so
