High School Dropout - Intellectual

[Intro: Aaliyah Russell]

Now… where do I start?

[Chorus: Illmac]

Riding for the squad, we ain’t tryna be jealous

Give me my flowers while I could still smell ‘em

Tell ‘em I prefer money trees over y’all feelings

Picking dollar bills while they falling from the ceiling like

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Everything within reach, I want my piece

Like nah nah nah nah nah

My bad, you was waiting on me? Okay

[Verse 1: Illmac]

Oh you waiting on me? Tell 'em keep waitin'

Ain't nobody in my league but I keep playin'

Shit, I'm just tryna ball like it's spring trainin'

Block ya shot like the calls that I keep fadin'

Fuck a bad vibe, I ain't taking that lightly

It's a sign, every time you call, it say 'Scam Likely'

It's a sign, knew from jump, even my phone was like

'Eh, I can't really cosign bro but you can answer if you want' whoa

Never graduated but I kept it player

I still walk across the stage to get the paper

At the Staples Center watching Blazers vers' the Lakers

They mad they city only known for reggie on some Pacers

We some blazers, do it major

They said money don't grow on trees, but I seen a hundred acres, pick ya' flavor

Grind the beans, get the pot, brew the coffee, sip it hot

They been sleeping on me now the shit can stop, shit can stop

[Chorus: Illmac]

Riding for the squad, we ain’t tryna be jealous

Give me my flowers while I could still smell ‘em

Tell ‘em I prefer money trees over y’all feelings

Picking dollar bills while they falling from the ceiling like

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Everything within reach, I want my piece

Like nah nah nah nah nah

My bad, you was waiting on me? Okay

[Verse 2: Illmac]

Ay, talking beef with lil’ bro

But if you ever need a thing then you could hit me on my phone

Talk about the same shit ‘cause it’s weighing on my soul (nah nah nah nah nah)

Yeah I’m ready for the glow up

Fuck a blow up, ain’t these rap lames poppin' champagne, no

Grew up po’, yeah, no wonder it’s my last name

I remember being clowned for that, but you wasn’t around for that

Now I owned it, yeah I like the sound of that (yeah yeah yeah yeah)

I used to freestyle with Oryanna

She would throw me words, uh, you remember that?

Remember back we lived with Grandma K, Uncle Danny still the older brother that I never had, yeah remember that? (I do, I do)

Still the coldest but you wouldn’t notice

Ain’t had a cut in months, feelin' focused lookin' homeless

Grew up listening to Otis, now I pen an opus

This middle finger for the police, this one for the POTUS, I’m

[Chorus: Illmac]

Riding for the squad, we ain’t tryna be jealous

Give me my flowers while I could still smell ‘em

Tell ‘em I prefer money trees over y’all feelings

Picking dollar bills while they falling from the ceiling like

Nah nah nah nah nah nah

Everything within reach, I want my piece

Like nah nah nah nah nah

My bad, you was waiting on me? Okay

[Outro]

Nah nah nah nah nah
