[Verse 1: Ace Lover]

I’m down

By law but some broads ain't. They're on stage

Screaming for the props. Hah, they’re in the wrong game, Ok'

Wrong lead, wrong place, wrong time

Ain't it strange how, nowadays, everybody wanna rhyme?

Hoes bring stress and money bring problems

Fools wanna roll but can't hold their own, and that's not fresh

Can barely hold a mic and they can't be for real due to

Obvious. Holy cosmic, if you know what's right, then steal


[Interlude 1: Ace Lover]

Think you're ready for the majors? Think you’re ready to make that transition from a free punk to a ghetto celeb? Haha, we’ll let's see. How’s that right?


[Verse 2: Ace Lover]

So you think you're gonna come blow up overnight? It's been a long road, a lot

Of episodes, so don't get involved if you ain’t ready for this type

Of lifestyle ‘cause if you ain't got a tight style and don't be flowing right

You might just get knocked right out at the open mic. I got

Lucky ‘cause, you see, I just happened to be nice. But trust me:

For this rap life, a lot of things I had to sacrifice

Cats ain't got no bragging rights to be acting like they do, so don't come

By me when you smell the weed ‘cause no one invited you

Inhale the secondhand smoke, and if you're a lame, then who's to blame?

So what the hell you getting mad for? I give

Cats who can't flow the benefit of a doubt

But you know how that go. Ha. You suckers


[Hook: Abyss and (Ace Lover)]

I heard they wanted to roll with us (I heard they wanted to)

(Roll with us) I tell ‘em, “Don't even come around” (Don't even come around here)

They ain't ready for ‘pproaching us (No, no, no, no)

Because they know how it's going down (They know how it's going down)


[Verse 3: Oktober]

Yo, I heard they wanna

Roll with us, but now they're close enough to touch. We usually

Low in the cut, smoking and blowing the Dutch

Plus they're not with us if they're not throwing it up, hate in

Their eyes, watch liquor overflow in the cup, open

Off of lust, sleeping with the enemy, and they still

Speaking treachery, they're not ready for me. I

Chop cherry trees for nothing less than side pennies

Stop the jealousy while I stop to cop twenties


[Interlude 2: Oktober]

Yo, yo, you know this cat right here? Yo, psh, I swore I seen this cat around here before, I told him not to come back around here. Yo, do not come back around here, duke


[Verse 4: Oktober]

As I

Proceed, heavy in the game. If they don't know me

I show steez, so I could never be lowkey, flow

Beneath, but you're stuck in traffic and local streets, and every-

-thing you're riding on is letting out slow leaks, and I

Don't trust, sluts told me such and such, that you

Said what?!? You're just bringing customers

I touch the subject just enough, you'll be stressed

Behind the ears, you're crazy wet, taking baby steps

Circus cats need training, they're not lions yet

The type to represent, but they're lying, I bet, so if

You claim to be the better man, it better be true. If

You're not rolling with me, then I'm rolling over you. What?!?


[Hook: Abyss and (Ace Lover)]

Yo, I heard they wanted to roll with us (Huh, rolling with us?)

I tell ‘em, “Don't even come around” (Don't even come)

(Around, son) They ain't ready for ‘pproaching us (They ain't ready for)

(Approaching us) Because they know how it's going down (They know how it's)

(Going down) I heard y'all wanted to roll with us (Rolling with us?)

They told y'all, “Don't even come around” (Son, don't even come)

(Around) These cats get ready to celebrate (Yo, son, you)

(Celebrating who?) It's 2for5, they shut it down (We shut it all)

(Down)
