[Intro]

Ain't nothin' sweet, word up

First of all

If you runnnin' up on me you got to slow that up, cat

Straight off the bat, you know what I'm sayin'?

I give respect to those that'll just come by and be like, "Yo, I respect ya joint. Peace."

Word like, that's how-that's how you should approach anybody

You can't be runnin' up on people like that, word up

Because they will take it the wrong way


[Hook]

Everybody know me, I don't know nobody tho

Got a name, friends came, broke, it was adios

Everybody wanna be fam, who the fuck are you?


[Verse 1:]

Livin' in the slums nigga wouldn't give a buck or two

Can't tell if they got love or wanna bucket you

Walk past requesting ya math like they came up with you

Talkin' 'bout they knew I was real, my skill is nothin' new

Shorties call my government name, "Brian wassup witchu?"

If I walk away I'm a dick, I stay, I'm stressed out

Old niggas look at my life and then suggest routes

"What you need to go is go back to Simon and sign with him"

I reply, "Mhm". Really, I'm thinkin' (die nigga)

Some'll say that's kinda harsh but what do you know?

Focused on my craft, they think I'm actin' brand new tho

Middle school crush, could never get her to shake that

Now she cuffed with gang bangers and work at Shake Shack

Might get a burger with extra cheese to fuck with her

Even worse, got male groupies, wassup with 'em?

Ask me for my number, I give my manager number through

Then they say "I'm callin' right now, make sure it's really you"


[Bridge]

Everybody know me, I don't know nobody tho

(Is that you? It's me, RIcky)

Everybody know me, I don't know nobody tho

(Remember, from Flatbush? Remember?)


[Hook]

Everybody know me, I don't know nobody tho

Got a name, friends came, broke, it was adios

Everybody wanna be fam, who the fuck are you?


[Verse 2:]

Ayo, all these strangers, shit crazy

I'm hella humble, never let this rap shit phase me

But niggas lookin' at you like you obligated to credit 'em for what you created when it's celebrated

We from the same hood? That's good, best of luck, son

No I'm not takin' ya math, we only met once

And even if I do know you nigga, six feet

Nobody gave me nothin', 'cept for my mama

I put the work in, I was rehearsin' while people was lurkin'

Makin' tracks while they was on the track in Gershwin

Playin' tag, I'm in my bag tryna get iller

I'm in Taye Diggs mode, I ain't talkin' to niggas

Soon to be runnin' the game everybody want a handout

No free features, I can't help ya mans out

So stop actin' close when you see me playin' lowkey

You know of me, but you don't know me

Fake, third cousin ass niggas
