[Intro]

You're gonna lose

The only way to get ahead, to really get ahead, is to be different

[Chorus]

Yeah

I don't know 'bout gangs, I don't know 'bout sellin' cocaine

Or flippin' the switch on a bang or hittin' a stain

Or lyin' on trust for the fame or throwin' them ones, make it rain

It felt like I stained, it felt they ain't knowin' my name

They think all my music a meme

The fact that I'm broke, but all of my haters are toast

'Cause I'm at the gym gettin' yoked, uh

[Verse 1]

I know pornography, I know addiction and I know depressed, uh

I know 'bout losin' my parent's retirement on a few bets, uh

And I know 'bout gettin' roasted for being myself on a mic, mmh

But somethin' is changed 'cause now I be rappin' and they want a bite

Yeah, they want a bite

Now they be wantin' a bite, they told me, "Stop rappin', just write"

They told me, "Just go put the fries in the bag"

They thinkin' I'm goin' out sad

They thinkin' I'm goin' out bad

And honestly I was this close

I was battlin' with my folks

I was battlin' Mary Jane, I smoke

Eyes back, loanin' money from apps, askin' Noah for racks

Eyes back, wonderin' if I'll ever make a livin' off raps

And that's, huh, just not somethin' I'm willin' to accept

'Cause I can start lyin' to pay off that mortgage, but I would rather be in debt

[Chorus]

I don't know 'bout gangs, I don't know 'bout sellin' cocaine

Or flippin' the switch on a bang or hittin' a stain

Or lyin' on trust for the fame or throwin' them ones, make it rain

It felt like I stained, it felt they ain't knowin' my name

They think all my music a meme

The fact that I'm broke, but all of my haters are toast

'Cause I'm at the gym, yeah

[Verse 2]

Yeah, I just wanna pay off that mortgage and tell them they're goin' to Prague in a month

Yeah, I just wanna buy 'em a house in Green Valley, then eatin' [?] for lunch

Yeah, I just wanna pay off that Telsa I'm drivin', that interest is drivin' me crazy, uh

Pay a year's rent on my crib with a bop, man, I feel like DaBaby

Bop, man, I feel like DaBaby, they're actin' like I grew up big

They didn't see when the bed didn't fit on the frame in the place that I grew as a kid

They didn't see when I was pickin' up loud from the trash after I told myself that I quit

They didn't see when I was lyin' to OG and stealin' his gear to go sell for a hit

They didn't see, nah

Well, now they gon' see my face all up on that TV

That Vizio playin', my music, my mama was up doin' laundry just foldin' my tees

I'm drivin' Eastmoor, I'm bendin' the corner, I'm askin' the people, "You listen to rap?"

Look on their face, it would probably be easier if I just told them a matter of fact

[Chorus]

I don't know 'bout gangs, I don't know 'bout sellin' cocaine

Or flippin' the switch on a bang or hittin' a stain

Or lyin' on trust for the fame or throwin' them ones, make it rain

It felt like I stained, it felt they ain't knowin' my name

They think all my music a meme

The fact that I'm broke, but all of my haters are toast

'Cause I'm at the gym, yeah
