[Intro]

I'm fed up

I ain't got no more energy to give these old bitch-ass niggas

You heard me?

These niggas build fake cases

Here, take the money since you feel like it's better than my friendship, you heard me?

I'm pressure


[Verse 1]

God, forgive me for my sins

I should've built a house of worship, I went bought a Benz (Allahu Akbar)

On whom should I depend?

My Muslim brother lied about me bad (Uh)

Said I got with Mark and did a deal behind his back

My heart, I've been stabbed (Ooh), here's a hundred grand (Yeah)

When you run through that, make sure you remember who I am

Partners pocket watchin' make me hate to rock my watches (Bling, blaow)

Just because we partners don't mean that your hand go in my pockets (Bling, blaow)

Go put the opps up on my spots when you gossip 'bout me (Bitch)

I'm out my body, nigga, try me, booka-booka-blaow (Bitch)

Step outside the room and you wishin' the walls could talk (I do)

Surrounded by these dudes, but you feelin' like somethin' off (I knew)

You know you love your bitch, but you need a lil' more excitement

You like to do the shit that could probably get you indicted

Cold slut from off of Highland, shovin' dick in her body (Ooh)

In the trap with a strap while you juggin' narcotics


[Chorus]

Ups and downs, fell off a lot, and then I came up (Ooh)

Since a child, they been tryna get my brains bust

I made mistakes, to God I pray, I never changed up

They sit in barber shops and try to fuck my name up (Pussy)

Take the energy they deal and keep it pushin'

Don't need to tell a pussy, "You not pussy," niggas pussy

Take the energy they deal and keep it pushin' (Yeah)

Don't need to tell a pussy, "You not pussy," niggas pussy (Pussy)


[Verse 2]

Ups and downs, fell off a lot, and then I came up (Up)

Got my chain jumpin', jumped inside a Range truck

Black on black, my F-250, you can't see the emblems

Windows tinted, slip through in it, you can't see who in it (Peek-a-boo)

Change perspective, life a blessing, I'm just reminiscin' (For real)

Last year, I would've blew my brains out at any minute

Shout out to the ugly hoes, love it when I floss (Shout out)

All of them are lost, caught up in a tug of war (Damn)

People I have helped, they want bullets in my dome

Prepare the table for me, cut from a different cloth (Man down)

Cut up, it's gon' cost, get him, get stripes for a junkie (Uh-uh)

Flunkies payin' flunkies to go and murder a flunky

You know you reap what you sow and that shit cold (That shit cold)

Knew the burners was on, I just had to touch the stove (Shit)

When you go inside the freezer, ice cubes smell like cologne

That mean someone was at your house when you was not at home, yeah


[Outro]

Man, I swear to God

You get out of line, I'ma put your ante up, you heard me?

Know what I'm saying, nigga?

And y'all done been around me, y'all done been in a car with me

Love my swag, love how I talk

Mannerisms, demeanor, everything

Yeah, man

Come on, y'all know I keep that Godfather in full effect

I pull up solo by myself

I'll put you up in this bitch, man

Come on, man, niggas just be talkin', dick
