[Intro]

Yeah

Wait

Yeah

Bitch, I barely miss

Yeah

Bitch, I barely miss

Yeah

Wait


[Chorus]

Bitch, I barely miss

Can't recall a moment, even when I reminisce, uh

Got some homies buried 'cause the opps is playin' this, uh

Nigga, bend that corner, for your pockets, you get hit, uh

Shit feel like a rocket when it's slidin' out that clip, mm


[Verse 1]

With them politics, mm

School of hard knocks, mm, we got scholarships, mm

Stories I forgot, mm, wouldn't let me rewind, mm

Melly caught him three, mm, Donut, he got five, mm

Retaliation coordinated like electric slide, mm

Coroner get duckets, he been workin' overtime, mm

Blame it on a nigga pigment, you forget what history went with it

Left a sittin' there with no way to get it, been this way since infants

Red line lead to red rags, shit been bloodbath

Niggas scammin', tryna build a future for they son to have


[Pre-Chorus]

What you get when you take niggas, take the system

Take the struggle, take oppression, take the hustle

Mix it in that pot of gumbo, we don't miss

Uh, yeah

Bitch, I barely miss

Okay, yeah


[Chorus]

Bitch, I barely miss

Can't recall a moment, even when I reminisce, uh

Got some homies buried 'cause the opps is playin' this, uh

Nigga, bend that corner, for your pockets, you get hit, uh

Shit feel like a rocket when it's⁠— (Wait)


[Verse 2]

Bitch, I need some head to go along with a nigga come-up

We done hustled, gave us nothin', how we flip it? Make it double

Gave my cousin jail time, gave my people long records

How I flip this shit to music, give you niggas classic records, we don't miss

My manager Blood but my labelmate a Crip (Wow)

Keem took a bullet to the skull, but he lived (Wow)

Now he got a daughter, she get brought up watchin' flip, uh

Bet she barely miss, uh, you can't tell a Black queen shit

Watch the money spring, flip

I been workin' long hours, I been workin' swing shifts

Had our people up in chains, niggas shackled to the ankles

Now we bussin' down chains, beat the system

Tell 'em, "Thank you for the motivation," that shit captivatin', niggas risin'

We done took that pressure, made it diamonds, bitch


[Pre-Chorus]

What you get when you take niggas, take the system

Take the struggle, take oppression, take the hustle

Mix it in that pot of gumbo, we don't miss

Yeah

Bitch, I barely miss

Yeah


[Chorus]

I say, "Bitch, I barely miss"

Can't recall a moment, even when I reminisce

Got some homies buried 'cause the opps is playin' this

Nigga, bend that corner, for your pockets, you get hit

Shit feel like a rocket when it's⁠ slidin'— (Wait)
