I don't discriminate boy I bring it to your chest |
| [00:07.083] |
If you oppose, then your soul will decompose |
| [00:09.471] |
Strive to get money and I'm not no hoe |
| [00:12.174] |
Fresher than the air that you're breathing through your nose |
| [00:14.916] |
Iller than the kicks that you're puttin on your toes |
| [00:17.120] |
You can ask Bo but yo that nigga don't know |

Niggas so hard it's a wonder they alive |

Your man knows who's nice, say Tip, he'll say "True" |

I'll be rockin mikes until a horse says 'hey' |

Some are preoccupied with glamour and glitz |

Actin all bougie and making big movies |

But I'll be in the cut, call me Incognito |

Busy making joints that will bump for my people |

You're listening to a man who was something from nothing |

Stay in me forever head, never be frontin' |

Once in a while we have fun in the mix |
| [01:04.668] |
Into good living but some be into glitz |
| [01:07.022] |
Everybody knew, all the fellas and the chicks |

The three wise men and the theories of Zen |

Yo, I get inside the crevice like a dentist |

Disrupt, the block, like Dennis, the Menace |

We've come like a guide to redirect alla that |
| [02:32.147] |
So people with a gift can just flaunt and get money |
| [02:34.570] |
So much, we in the bank that the shit ain't funny |
| [02:37.095] |
Money is invested in real estate and stocks |
| [02:39.600] |
But not inside the glamour 'cause all of that stops |
| [02:41.843][Consequence] |
