[Intro]
Yeah, that sound better
(Ight, we ain't gon' wast no time, look)
[Chorus]
Top rank, top tier, this the top shelf
'42 and tonic water for a cocktail (Pour it up)
Hit the hood, grab smoke, get some Glock shells
Auntie know to whip the rice with my—, hold up (Get out the kitchen)
Auntie know to whip the rice with my oxtails
[Verse 1]
Too much soul for 'em
How he pushin peace but killas still on go for 'em?
When Tommy used to host the battles at the old Forum
I was savin' gas money up, cleanin' old Jordans
Just tryna, make it out, make it out, I wait it out
Plans, laid 'em out, grams, weighed 'em out
Tried plеnty things to get the dough by any means
Whеre I'm from, they can't hold a note, they lettin' semi's sing
Watch the government crash plenty dreams
Who you (Who you what?) up against? Dawg, I'm on your team
(What you want?) Oven mitts, two hundred degrees
Comin' out the stove hot, no more blacks gettin' shot
By ourselves or the cops
Close the cell on your block
Oxtails in the pot, only thing that feel right
Watch ya money triple up when you pay the real price
Time to reach real heights
[Chorus]
Top rank, top tier, this the top shelf
'42 and tonic water for a cocktail
Hit the hood, grab smoke, get some Glock shells
Auntie know to whip the rice with my—, hold up (Get out the kitchen)
Auntie know to whip the rice with my oxtails
[Post-Chorus]
(Just how I like it)
(Just how, just how I like it)
(Just how, just how I like it)
(Just, just how I like it)
[Verse 2]
Slidin' down the 10 highway goin' west
Said I'm headed to the top, makin' my way up the steps
Big bets then pull into the driveway feelin' blessed
Lay up with lil' baby watchin' Friday After Next
I hear all they threats, talkin' sideways out they neck
Treated homeless, it all go unaddressed
Government scam check, you bought a chain for yo neck
Real niggas go unimpressed, we'd rather see you invest
Now your weight up
Can't believe the history in school shit's made up
Even at the bottom, I was always prayed up
Can't nobody say they made us
Roll up and go on a hiatus
Black man, they used to trade us rapping knowledge
But somehow I'm still yo' girls favorite
Keep the sage lit, you know my all is what I gave it
I feel amazed how I rank top tier
[Chorus]
This the top shelf
'42 and tonic water for a cocktail
Hit the hood, grab smoke, get some Glock shells
Auntie know to whip the rice with my—, hold up (Get out the kitchen)
Auntie know to whip the rice with my oxtails
[Post-Chorus]
(Just how I like it)
(Just how, just how I like it)
(Just how, just how I like it)
(Just, just how I like it)
[Outro]
Yo, what you doin' out here, man?
You next up on stage for the battle, man, you gotta
Get focused man, you sittin' out here on the phone with ya shorty
Tellin' her how much you can't let her go, come on
