Boy I'm 'bout my business on business, I drink liquor on liquor
8
I had women on women, yeah that's bunk bed bitches
9
I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin'
10
Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin'
11
But this for the girls that barely let me get to first base
12
On some ground ball shit
13
Cause now I run my city on some town hall shit
14
They prayin' on my motherfuckin' downfall bitch like a drought but
15
You gon' get this rain like it's May weather, G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
16
Champagne just tastes better, they told me I never boy, never say never

Swear flow special like an infant's first steps

Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
20
So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
21
So I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
22
Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried

Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
24
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind

26
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'
27
I said fuck tryin' and not doin'
28
Cause not doin' is somethin' a nigga not doin'

I grew up to Em, B.I.G. and Pac bitch, and got ruined
30
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid

I can't motherfuckin' stop movin'
32
Go against me, you won't stop losin'
33
From the city where every month is May-Day at home, spray your dome
34
Niggas get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
35
Yeah I know that shit ain't fair
36
They say that Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor
37
You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
38
I knew that the world was for the taking and it wouldn't take long
39
We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody
40
Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
41
I'm so fuckin' first class, I could spit up on every pilot
42
The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic
43
And I'm over niggas sayin' they're the hottest niggas
44
Then run to the hottest niggas just to stay hot
45
I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop
46
Drop fire, and not because I'm name dropping, Hall of Fame droppin'
47
And I ain't takin' shit from nobody unless they're OG's
48
Cause that ain't the way of an OG
49
So I G-O collect more G's, every dollar
50
Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me
51
Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
52
Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats
53
Clique so deep we take up the whole street
54
I need a bitch so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don
55
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]

Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds

Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
58
Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize
59
I'm not gonna fold or demise
60
(I don't smoke crack, motherfucker I sell it!)
61
Bitch, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
62
So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
63
Don't pop me no fucking pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this
64
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
65
Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this shit
66
So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam in this shit

One at a time, I line 'em up and bomb on they mom while she watchin' the kids
69
I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists
70
I'm important like the pope, I'm a muslim on pork
71
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
72
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both

91
You plan on stumpin' me? Bitch I've been jumped before you put a gun on me
92

93
James Bonding with none of you niggas, climbing 100 mil in front of me

113
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as fuck tryna land
114
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
115
Bumpin Pac in the cockpit so the shit that pops in his head
116
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
117
That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
118
[Verse 3: Jay Electronica]
119
You could check my name on the books

The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
122
The tale of magnificent king who came from the nooks
123
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers

We live by every single word she ever told us
125
Watch over your shoulders
126
And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest

Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
135
Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got

The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
137
And the tissue is like an angel kissin you in the dark
138
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
139
Right, to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
140
