[Intro]

(I make music for my people)

(100%)

(They can recognize what I'm saying)

(As some shit that they've been through as well)

(Cuz it's all real shit that I'm saying)

(It's all true things)

(All true stories)

(noizy)

[Hook]

Since I was 4 years old

I been told

"Everything that glitters ain't gold"

And now that I've arrived

I see those truths unfold

Before my eyes in a world so cold

Since I was 4 years old

I been told

"Everything that glitters ain't gold"

And now that I've arrived

I see those truths unfold

Before my eyes in a world so cold

[Verse]

Let me tell you 'bout a nappy head nigga

That's me!

No stress, I lеave

Ali to the bullshit, float like bees

Yall tree's ain't good shit, blеss y'all leaves

My league been filled with X.I.B.'s

Extreme intentions, Yes, I be

Where the king of the jungle rest they feet

Got green by the bundle, text YP

When did you think you was standing a chance?

You was sittin around with your hands on your ass

Got 'em dipping and dodging the way that I jab

I mean, who did you think you was fooling?

No pressure on you

It's a lot to take in

I been catching these wins

They been stretching they ends

I'm too gifted, I noticed

A shortage in friends is usually on par for the course

They wanna lock in, of course

But open your eyes

They play with your mind

The shallow ones never important

No time for the games, they get shortened

Still soak up the game, I'm absorbent

Uh

Still painting these pictures like portraits

And smoking on flavored assortments

Instrunmentitive menace

A bully to beats

To music, a bastardly torment

So disgruntled, I should've been orphaned

Disappointed they passed on abortions

Vision distorted

I been so out of the orbit

Tryna forget all my problems

Lost in the forest

Feeling so close to the forfeit

Had to lock in just to solve 'em
