[Swank Daddy]

Take me, want to live, wanna ride, wanna fly, wanna free

Want to get, need to die, need to be

Put a bridge to the sky in a piece from a high to a leap

To a stride looking sweet, tell me why I never tell

And smile, take the heat for a life as a peak, so

Take it as you must cuz it's coming your way

Shake it, shake it as you must but don't you shake it for no pay

Come and shake it for Swank Daddy then shake that ass away

Want to play? Want to know is it real? Could you show, can you pray when you're low?

Is it real, is it great, did you know?


[Young G]

Why I'm relaxed and broke as fuck

I might as well cuz it won't last long

I could make a million dollars off of Fyrе, one song

But I'm thinking bout the way cuz it must be of thе 8th

I smoked out to work just to stay away

From those who will tempt me, blazed out and empty

Riding cuz I sent thee, riding while I'm bent, see

The Fyre in my mind like a liar on the grind

I used to drink wine, now it's blunts all the time

What can I say? Listen to rap all day

Angry as fuck til the drugs parlay

Sway to the left with the man who sold death

Mobbing down your block, yes...


[Mxlplx]

Real talk of the game but I ain't seen you do shit

Claiming what you don't have and never will get

You can kiss my ass and your bitch can suck my dick

While I take out your stash and roll me a fat spliff

Been low on cash since my brain took that trip

Don't have to ask, you can take a couple hits

Just don't forget to pass, I hate when people babysit

Wish I was in a casket at the bottom of a pit

Or better yet, some ashes being thrown off a cliff

Either way it doesn't matter, I just want to get lit

And ponder what comes after I cease to exist

Just another rapper trying to sell you a tape

So I don't have to clock in to put food on my plate

And I love doing this about as much as I hate

The expression of confusion in the eyes on my face

Haters said I was losing, but I'm not running their race

Got nothing to prove and a body to waste
