[Intro]

I tried to sleep

And I fell in and out of half dreams

I remember my father saying

That you're about to awaken (Look)


[Chorus]

Look, I grew up off of fast food and cold drinks, track suits and gold links

No capsules, we used to parachute the whole thing (Yeah)

New thing trippin', I fuck around with my old thing

Hit it so good that I probably knock out her nose ring (Uh-huh)


[Verse 1]

Man, I still got my sense of humor

I spread love while they spreadin' rumors

Yeah, she spread her knees, I spread my seed, we call it evolution

Got trees blowin' in the breeze like it's weather conducive

To hurricanes, my brain needs a circuit change

The world brought me so much pain, so I hurt the game

Kurt Cobain, last nerve on the murder train

My teen spirit's gotten stronger since my thirties came

Rappin' like a younger me, hungry as Budapest

My capital all comes from me, no one can induce my stress

You could check the humidex 'cause I'll be turnin' up the heat

Till the day I got a ocean view from these sunken seats


[Interlude]

Yeah, you know I love the smell of ocean in the morning

I'm Scotian, goddamn it


[Chorus]

Look, I grew up off of fast food and cold drinks, track suits and gold links

No capsules, we used to parachute the whole thing

New thing trippin', I fuck around with my old thing

Hit it so good that I probably knock out her nose ring (Uh-huh)


[Verse 2]

Second verse, different flow, same bottle, different glow

Cognac, honey, throw it back like a give-and-go

Eyes high, hat low, skip the line, enter through the back door

Like GoodFellas, get to the cash flow

Put it in the floorboards, that shit way safer now

Ever since Trudeau started freezin' them bank accounts

Fuck it, though, I'm self-made

Job title, hell's trade

So I practice self-praise

Every time another move is made, I just look up in the mirror and say, "Well played"

Outwit, out-hustle, outlast, outweigh

Out-flip, out-muscle, outcast, André

3K just for the bottles, boy


[Chorus]

Look, I grew up off of fast food and cold drinks, track suits and gold links

No capsules, we used to parachute the whole thing (Yeah)

New thing trippin', I fuck around with my old thing

Hit it so good that I probably knock out her— (Uh-huh)


[Verse 3]

Yeah, fuck it, three verses like it's 2002

Bitch, I'm agin' backwards like I drowned in the fountain of youth

All of my enemies cliqued up and are now in cahoots

When I'm through with 'em, their careers won't be salvageable at all

I do what I will and say what I want

'Cause art suffers when boundaries get involved

It silence what's in your heart

So I'm about to cancel cancel culture

And that's for even thinkin' you could cancel culture

Just by throwin' darts, hopin' they stick

Well, how's this

For politically correct, bitch? Choke on my dick

And, woah, he's so appalling and rude

Well, did you ever stop to think that just maybe my audience isn't you?

You don't like it? Feel free, put that pause button to use

'Cause I'ma keep talkin' my truth


[Chorus]

Look, I grew up off of fast food and cold drinks, track suits and gold links

No capsules, we used to parachute the whole thing (Yeah)

New thing trippin', I fuck around with my old thing

Hit it so good that I probably knock out her nose ring (Uh-huh)
