Greetings to all, ay Greetings to all, uh Greetings to all Here from the edge of a wall Up on a ledge where I fall Might be the way to make sense of it all Certainly worked for the dog I'm talkin' pet of my mama's mama, grandma-momma Jumped for his life, lost it instead Didn't like heights, I gotta guess Liked starving to death even less (ay) Living room was a badly-lit mess (ay) On the inside of the room there's no breath (ay) Part of me care what if I get it wrong We never met, this is only a song I heard the story, just once with my mom She said the bottles you held didn't last very long When you gave out, no one knew that you gone Or knew that you couldn't bring food to the dog Damn, look at that beast Lickin', gnawin' and that made her cheeks utter deceased Little white noise comin' out the TV Warmin' up, blowin' the heat Door to the balcony Crack just enough to hear honkin' of horns in the street Wonder how long little Fluffy just stood there and stared No one would see that he jumpin' naive Some families don't rise, they drop from the sky Four little paws and a bark to the Gods Born from the death of a queen in New York Mama took that and fought with those odds It's in the blood, Fluffy just jumped To me he's always been a hero unsung Mama jumped too like, "F*ck it, I'm here" And I'ma jump too like, "F*ck it, let's go" 'Cause I don't really see no other clear road It's just get there to grow to get old Really can't rest, not takin' that risk Fluffy done jumped, how am I gonna bitch? Backflip the f*ck off a cliff, lil' bitch And for the foundation make a quick wish Rtj, no fall from grace Have a great day, get the bag and away, aye There's never a test too major No matter what time may bring The world does the best to break us Made us Kings and queens There's never a test too major No matter what time may bring The world does the best to break us Made us Kings and queens, kings and queens Somethin' 'bout the feel of this beat Makin' me think of Denise That was my momma Also to Lenny and Shonda But we heard 'bout Betty and that story heavy, yeah But right now the focus is Five-Finger Freddy Who worked for Big Eddy Who drove in a Chevy The color spaghetti and he sold the medicine lettuce It's actually weed, ah I know you actually know, 'cause You ain't no actual hoe, uh I had to be about nine at the time This had to be '84, so Momma was pretty and Freddy was petty So he played my mom like a lame But he did not know that Denise was a beast She flipped on his ass insane A stick and a stab, a stick and a stab He couldn't get a hold of her hand A stick and a stab, a stick and a stab My momma was whoopin' her man Fuckboy Freddy wasn't ready Playin' with Denis 'bout fetti Got left bloody and messy Learned my lesson And my lesson was, be impeccable with your word Even dope boys on the curb You a king, say what you mean, then mean your word Or you might get fucked up, left out Leakin' like Freddy on the side of a curb With a blood-stained hand Momma still fit my clothes Told me stand like a man And never fold for these hoes, look There's never a test too major No matter what time may bring The world does the best to break us Made us Kings and queens There's never a test too major No matter what time may bring The world does the best to break us Made us Kings and queens, kings and queens The world does the best to break us Made us Kings and queens, kings and queens
