[Verse 1: Benjamin Starr]

I can see stars aligning, I’m delighted

The road is dark, and I’m driving, I float like Poseidon

The views of the moon through the roof got the mood heightened

With my Muse on the passenger side

My hand on her thigh, and her hand on my trident

Elohim in the seam of my jeans

So whenever we fuck, we do it righteously

Cause ain't another nigga nice as me

I’m God and the Monster, Pilate and the Rabbi

The Triad, Yakuza and Mansa Musa

I came to the game to get grain, in ancient ways

I etch a phrase with a razor blade

I'm like a god in the game, I’m ordained

I made a name at the bar, like Bourdain

I'm on the cak Rushmore, wearing crushed velour

With 8 bars still stuck in my jaw

These ain't raps these hand claps and tambourines

The shouts from the altar, the pastor passes passages

The women scream

Feels like Black Church, on the turf

When I burst on the scene with the 1st CLASSIC

Lemme craft it, and make it cinematic

Can you picture dead silence??

Then the barrel of a gun blasting

I drafted drafts and then I mastered crafts

I raised the bar real high, and left a massive tab

You can’t war with a nigga that’s war-ready

I’m already feigning, believe my artillery all heavy

I’m dynamite, with short fuse

The clock is set, you can bet that it don’t snooze

I’m betting it all, and you can call on God, or your squad

In a standoff, nigga we won’t lose

So let me make one thing clear, you can document

We are not the same, nigga we're opposites

I am opulent, forever confident

Much deserving of the compliments

I am the entree and the condiments

I brought the 'cak back to you niggas' consciousness

I’m in the state of mind BIG and 2Pac was in

So I ain't waiting til I’m gone for my monuments

Gimme my flowers nigga!

Hook:

If you really love me, say it loud

I got million dollar motives

Gotta make my momma proud

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

Ain't too many niggas on my team

If I said it, then I meant it

Then I did it, best believe

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

I know you've been praying for the end of me

I can see you ain't who you pretend to be, please

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

If you really love me, say it loud

I got million dollar motives

Tryna make my momma proud


[Verse 2: Matt Monday]

I’m Bob Marley if he made it to the year 85

Shabazz at the Audubon if they kept him alive

Termination of the X, nigga do trust me

In other words motherfucka I’m the new Chuck D

Now, Now, I pull out my gun before I face the pastor

Yelling fuck every dream that you chasing after

When they gentrified, it was simplified that

‘round here wasn’t safe for laughter now

Down here where they spit tobacca’

Black man life ain’t even a factor

Between the KKK and the cops every day

All young boys get turned to Casper (yeah)

Before that time can I get mine, let me shine

If I go today, sing my songs say em line for line

Don’t wait to tell me that you love me

When I can’t feel it, take your time

Doing damage since 2009, I deserve a shrine yeah

Bitch I avoided the powder

Now niggas typing my name in their browser

From the city where they see us devoured

Took that bitch over in 24 hours

Fuck all you liars

I see the doubters

Fuck all you cowards

Fuck all the powers

This shit is ours

Say that shit louder

Booming like Bowser, Gimme my flowers

Gimme my flowers nigga!

Hook:

If you really love me, say it loud

I got million dollar motives

Gotta make my momma proud

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

Ain't too many niggas on my team

If I said it, then I meant it

Then I did it, best believe

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

I know you've been praying for the end of me

I can see you ain't who you pretend to be, please

Gimme my flowers, nigga!

If you really love me, say it loud

I got million dollar motives

Tryna make my momma proud

Gimme my flowers [repeat 4x]
