[Intro]

Stop, stop, stop…

Fuck niggas gon' be fuck niggas

That’s why we never give a fuck when a fuck nigga switched up

I’m so sorry

Did you hope I was crying?

It was rough without you

It was rough without you


[Verse 1]

I did some charity today for the kids

But I'm used to it 'cause all y'all charity cases

All y’all stare in my face in hopes you could be the replacement

Niggas is snitchin' on us without no interrogation

I stay silent 'cause we at war and I’m very patient

Six God is watchin', I just hope you’re prepared to face him

I’m charged up, I’m charged up


[Verse 2]

Wow, I’m honored that you think this is staged

I’m flattered, man, in fact, I’m amazed

The perfect start to the summer, man, this shit is a doozy

This shit a twist in the movie, but don't jump to conclusions

You boys are gettin' into your feelings on me

You should embrace it, this could be one of our realest moments

Okay, the flow start to feel familiar, don’t it?

Must I remind you that Jimmy got 20 million on it?

Need DJ Clue to drop a bomb on it

None of them want this shit more than I want it

I seen it all comin', knew they would push a button

East egg huntin', they gotta look for somethin'

Done doin' favors for people

'Cause it ain’t like I need the money I make off a feature

I see you niggas havin' trouble goin' gold

Turnin' into some so-and-sos that no one knows

But so it go

Come live all your dreams out at OVO

We gon' make sure you get your bread and you know the ropes

I get a ring and I bring it home like I’m Cory Joe

No woman ever had me star-struck

Or was able to tell me to get my bars up

I’m charged up

Oh no, we eatin', niggas ain’t about to starve us

Nah, niggas ain't about to starve us

I'm charged up


[Verse 3]

I bought my niggas rollies off of Thank Me Later

While these boys was stanky leggin'

Trust me, this information is vital

I’m tryin' to take the high road, I still got love for my idols

I got me a deal with Apple and I still feel entitled

Rumor has it, there’s somethin' that only I know

Rumor has it, I steer the ship with my eyes closed

Rumor has it, I either fucked her or never could

But rumor has it, hasn’t done you niggas any good

It’s sound, sound, sound ‘til the day I die

We goin' live to keep this shit alive

Cops are killin' people with they arms up

And your main focus is tryna harm us?

And you think you ‘bout to starve us?

Niggas ain’t about to starve us

Nah, I’m charged up!


[Outro]

(Stop, stop, stop, stop…)

Have you seen me? I’m doing so good

Every time we meet: "Oh, I’m so sorry"

(Fuck niggas gon' be fuck niggas

That’s why we never give a fuck when a fuck nigga switched up)


[Sample]

"You know, I kept it real

It ain’t too many real people out here

And people be on some weak bitch-ass shit all day long

Industry people… regular people…

And then when you keep it real with people, they cross the line, take your kindness for weakness and that’s weak."
