[Chorus]

It only feels good when you come up

'Cause I remember how it was when I was down

Thought I forgot? (Nah)

Nobody on my block thought I would pop (fuck y'all)

When you on top niggas want you shot

Why do you think we still keep all these guns around?

Ain't nothing change

I'm still the same


[Verse 1]

I'm just getting out of my bed

The pain in my head from a hangover

It's hard as hell to remain sober

I'm looking swell on that range rover

Soldier, and my bitch don't know nothing more than what I told her

Ever since the stroller

I've been a roller

A rider, a lot of shit changed now that I'm older

Move over, nigga this is my shit now

You see the way his head spin whenever I wear brown

The game's fucked up if I sit down, so I get up

Strap my vest under my shirt, button my shit up

Then roll through the crowd, lit up

Just to hurt their stomachs from the result of a thousand sit-ups

You gotta love how i'm doing this

If I get board, I'm gonna call Jacob, tell put a little brew in this

Haters wanna ruined this

'Cause I get paid and I walk around high all day like a stewardess


[Chorus]

It only feels good when you come up

'Cause I remember how it was when I was down

Thought I forgot? (Nah)

Nobody on my block thought I would pop (fuck y'all)

When you on top niggas want you shot

Why do you think we still keep all these guns around?

Ain't nothing change

I'm still the same


[Verse 2]

The way I deliver these verses

Tend to keep the song alive

All the weak shit crumble only the strong survive (Yea)

And with that in mind

I'm tussling with three or four chicks at a time

Fore fists about to blind

Rubber grips by the spine, I'm lazy as hell

But the chicks love the ground

The strip love the crown

I try to keep my bars so good so they don't get knocked

And run into a pit stop before a shit pop

It's all fucked up, niggas pointing finger in the court room

Till the consequences and cooperating get brought to him (Snitch!)

And ya'll know the punishment for those that past

It's a closed casket, black bag made of plastic

Ever since I blew I...

Been listening to (????)

Now i'm out in (????)

Niggas never knew I

Making it first class whenever I do fly

Knowing Jake wanted to see the whole crew fry


[Chorus]

It only feels good when you come up

'Cause I remember how it was when I was down

Thought I forgot? (Nah)

Nobody on my block thought I would pop (fuck y'all)

When you on top niggas want you shot

Why do you think we still keep all these guns around?

Ain't nothing change

I'm still the same
