Verse 1:

(Look, look…)

Hear the bass up in the strat-osphere

I’m a bonafide, record-breakin' mountaineer

Holdin' down our posts till we hear the all clear

Not a vet yet but I’m switchin' into fifth gear

I ain't tryna reinvent the wheel

You better cough up some dough just to seal the deal

I’m droppin' thirty every night like I’m Bradley Beal

Adversaries on the hunt for my Achilles heal

I’m at the corner hiding in plain sight

Chuggin' blue Gatorade for electrolytes

Yeah, I’m placing large bets on a game of dice

Till the cops rolled around and got me dead to rights

New to the game so they got a head start

But ain't no denying my flow is state of the art

Word-play is what sets them and I apart

Everybody hush cause this is my favorite part

Chorus:

Shoulda been the one with the fool proof plan

Coulda been the one with a thousand fans

Yeah, woulda been the one stackin' up my bands

And I told ya, I’m the only one who understands

Shoulda been the one with the fool proof plan

Coulda been the one with a thousand fans

Yeah, woulda been the one stackin' up my bands

And I told ya, I’m the only one who understands

Verse 2:

Not convinced that I got the stuff

Every time I grip the mic man its off the cuff

Clownin' on me till I break and yell enoughs enough

Rollin fatties in the bathroom with Ruff McGruff

Yeah my names Dimitri, but no I’m not a Russian

I’m the head case but you left with the concussion

Had a couple drinks, I’m not tipsy but I’m buzzin'

All these dusty rappers come a-dime-a dozen

Post haste, I think its time to bounce

Yea, In truth, I think its time for you to shut ya mouth

My surname the one they can't pronounce

And I'm out here boarding planes with a half an ounce

Ix nay, all that shit is hearsay

Won’t plead guilty to the crimes that I downplay

Flexin' some Supreme now that's so cliché

Yeah, I'll kick you out my whip, leave you stranded on the beltway

Chorus:

Shoulda been the one with the fool proof plan

Coulda been the one with a thousand fans

Yeah, woulda been the one stackin' up my bands

And I told ya, I’m the only one who understands

Shoulda been the one with the fool proof plan

Coulda been the one with a thousand fans

Yeah, woulda been the one stackin' up my bands

And I told ya, I’m the only one who understands
