Fuck home, fuck sleep, come clean, zonin’
Can’t forget that I’m golden, can’t forget where I’m going
Fuck popo, police, enemies, fake homies
Can’t forget that I’m a OG, better act like you know it (Oh, yeah)

Blunt smoke, smoke weed, codeine, cough
Tell that bitch that I’m awesome, better back the fuck up off me
Coco, Céline, Tiffany, she flossy (oh)
Ain’t concerned with who bought these
Can’t forget that she bossy
When y’all was buying surfboards trying to ride the wave
I was cooking up another fucking tidal wave (Brrrr)
Had to get entitled motherfuckers out the way
Had to take another title, sorry for the wait (Oop)
Barely ever took a break on, fashion like my time need
More hours in a day, I apologize if I’m late
Tap the vein, whoa, barely look like I’m awake
Darker shades, bluer veins, bluer money in the bankroll

I remember I was poor and
When I was young and living homeless
Now I rock the Ricky Owens
Eyes lookin’ like he rollin’
Got new bags under my eyelids
New bags up in my closets
New bags like I went shoppin’
New bags on new bags
Mind’s better at seeing two now (Ah, down)
Needing up on my downtime (Down, down)
Hit the waves with the new sound (Down, down)
House tunes but it’s screwed down
That’s dope (sauce)
Take a sec to thank the Lord, ‘nother one to call my folks
Hit my momma on the phone, she like “son, you the boy” (Ah)
Focus, don’t get caught up in the moment (Ah)
Can’t forget that I’m golden, don’t forget that I’m chosen

Fuck home, fuck sleep, come clean, zonin’
Can’t forget that I’m golden, can’t forget where I’m going
Fuck popo, police, enemies, fake homies
Can’t forget that I’m a OG, better act like you know it

They called me a bitch, burned me like saffron
My matter is golden, a child of the odyssey
My touch is righteous, like virus my Midas
I’m golden
He told me when I’m present I’m chosen
So hold me tight, I swear, I’m golden

Fuck home, fuck sleep, come clean, zonin’ (Golden)
Can’t forget that I’m golden, can’t forget where I’m going (Ahh, yeah)
Fuck popo, police, enemies, fake homies (Ahh)
Can’t forget that I’m a OG, better act like you know it.

I done been through a whole lot
Trial, tribulation, but I know God
Satan wanna put me in a bow tie
Pray that the holy water don’t go dry
As I look around me
So many motherfuckers wanna down me
But an enemigo never drown me
In front of a dirty double-mirror they found me

And I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don’t mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my… self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)

Everybody lookin’ at you crazy (crazy!)
What you gonna do? (what you gonna do?)
Lift up your head and keep moving (keep moving)
Or let the paranoia haunt you (haunt you)?
Peace to fashion police, I wear my heart
On my sleeve, let the runway start
You know the miserable do love company
What do you want from me and my scars?
Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence
How many times my potential was anonymous?
How many times the city making me promises?
So I promise this

They wanna say it’s a war outside and a bomb in the street
And a gun in the hood, and a mob of police
And a rock on the corner, and a line for the fiend
And a bottle full of lean, and a model on the scene yup
These days of frustration keep y’all on tuck and rotation
I duck these cold faces, post up fi-fie-fo-fum basis
Dreams of reality’s peace
Blow steam in the face of the beast
The sky could fall down, the wind could cry now
The strong in me, I still smile

I love myself
(The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs)
I love myself
(But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don’t mind)
I love myself
(He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide)
I love my… self
(One day at a time, sun gonna shine)

Walk my bare feet (walk my bare feet)
Down, down valley deep (down, down valley deep)
Fi-fie-fo-fum (fi-fie-fo-fum) (I love myself)
My heart undone (my heart undone)(I love myself)

The world is a ghetto with big guns and picket signs
(I love myself)
But it can do what it want whenever it want, I don’t mind
(I love myself)
He said I gotta get up, life is more than suicide
(I love my… self)
One day at a time, sun gonna shine
(Hold up)

I went to war last night
With an automatic weapon, don’t nobody call a medic
I’ma do it till I get it right
I went to war last night
I’ve been dealing with depression ever since an adolescent
Duckin’ every other blessin’, I can never see the message
I could never take the lead, I could never bob and weave
From a negative and letting them annihilate me
And it’s evident I’m moving at a meteor speed
Finna run into a building, lay my body in the street
Keep my money in the ceiling, let my mama know I’m free
Give my story to the children and a lesson they can read
And the glory to the feeling of the holy unseen
Seen enough, make a motherfucker scream, “I love myself!”

I lost my head
I must’ve misread what the good book said
Oh, woes keep me, it’s a jungle inside
Give myself again ’til the well runs dry (i)

No white doves or an olive branch
Just cats picking fish bones out the garbage can
Who makes more trash than the modern man?
I’m here for the treasure, that’s all I’m saying
No white doves or an olive branch
Just cats picking fish bones out the garbage can
Who makes more trash than the modern man?
I’m here for the treasure, that’s all I’m saying

I know my plans are all risky, so much against me
Read the story of my life, check my bloodline history
Wonder how we survived the mystery
Feel my great-great grandmother came back to kiss me
And whisper in my ear that she miss me
I’m stubborn but she loves the way I hunger for victory
Even when I stumbled she was right there with me
She was right there with me
Her last words were the Earth is indeed getting worse
But it’s also getting better that’s just how this all works
The proof is in a Stephen Hawking book and the church
So follow on your fantasies but honor what you’re worth
Know I’m tripping, shook my head but I heard what I heard
The flood will keep coming out the mud into the dirt
I’m out the mud into the dirt, I’m out the mud into the dirt
I’m out the mud into the dirt, I’m out the mud into the dirt

I’ve been down on the upside
Blowing smoke up at the floodlights
Then driving home through the mudslides
Wonder how we survive?
Howling at the moon with my wolves ’til the sunrise
Down on the upside
Blowing smoke up at the floodlights
Then driving home through the mudslides
Wonder when it subsides?
The flood will keep coming ’til your last drop of blood dries

Concrete jungle book Mowgli
Mother was a wolf by her lonely
Shaped his molding
For the pearls of the world he’d be holding
Solid ground on an Earth that’s eroding
Volcanoes exploding
White ash clouds float while I’m sitting in the sun smoking
Laughing, passing grass to the closest of my homies
He hit it for a minute, then he told me
He wonders if he’s schizophrenic
He can hear the trees talking
The flowers have faces
The rivers dream at night
While the water keeps raging
Running through the maze of its making
The sun burns trees and it keeps on blazing
The moon counts days and the months with its phases
Tides turn like a dervish just to chase it
Crazy, but I chase it
I smell all my memories and sometimes I taste ’em
Clouds in the shapes of my best friends faces
At times when you rhyme I feel like we trade places
Staring out your eyes at my face in amazement
Flying through the sky side by side with the ravens
Or running with the wolves find a new location
On higher ground and elevation
Until the flood starts breaking
Running with the wolves to find a higher location

I’ve been down on the upside
Blowing smoke up at the floodlights
Then driving home through the mudslides
Wonder how we survive?
Howling at the moon with my wolves ’til the sunrise
Down on the upside
Blowing smoke up at the floodlights
Then driving home through the mudslides
Wonder when it subsides?
The flood will keep coming ’til your last drop of blood dries.

Hearteater, why’d you eat my heart alive?
Still breathin’, why you looking so surprised?
Hearteater, try but you will not suffice
Hearteater, why’d you eat my heart alive?
Still breathin’, why you looking so surprised?
Hearteater, try but you will not suffice

Ooh, you’re poison
Poison, filled with poison
Fill my veins with poison
Poison, filled with poison.

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven
When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace
I told God I’d be back in a second
Man it’s so hard not to act reckless
To whom much is given, much is tested
Get arrested guess until he get the message
I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny
And what I do? Act more stupidly
Bought more jewelry, more Louis V
My mama couldn’t get through to me
The drama, people suing me
I’m on TV talking like it’s just you and me
I’m just saying how I feel man
I ain’t one of the Cosby’s, I ain’t go to Hillman
I guess the money should’ve changed him
I guess I should’ve forgot where I came from

La, la, la la
Wait ’til I get my money right
La, la, la la
Then you can’t tell me nothing, right?
Excuse me, was you saying something?
Uh uh, you can’t tell me nothing
You can’t tell me nothing
Uh uh, you can’t tell me nothing

Let up the suicide doors
This is my life homie, you decide yours
I know that Jesus died for us
But I couldn’t tell ya who decide wars
So I parallel double parked that motherfucker sideways
Old folks talking ’bout, “Back in my day”
But homie this is my day
Class started 2 hours ago, oh am I late?
No, I already graduated
And you can live through anything if Magic made it
They say I talk with so much emphasis
Ooh they so sensitive
Don’t ever fix your lips like collagen
And say something when you gon’ end up apolog’ing
Let me know if it’s a problem then, aight man, holla then

Let the champagne splash, let that man get cash
Let that man get past
He don’t even stop to get gas
If he can move through the rumors, he can drive off of fumes ’cause
How he move in a room full of no’s?
How he stay faithful in a room full of hoes?
Must be the pharaohs, he in tune with his soul
So when he buried in a tomb full of gold
Treasure, what’s your pleasure?
Life is a, UH, depending how you dress her
So if the Devil wear Prada, Adam Eve wear nada
I’m in between but way more fresher
With way less effort, ’cause when you try hard
That’s when you die hard
Your homies looking like why God
When they reminisce over you, my God

La, la, la la
Wait ’til I get my money right
La, la, la la
Then you can’t tell me nothing, right?
Excuse me, was you saying something?
Uh uh, you can’t tell me nothing
You can’t tell me nothing
Uh uh, you can’t tell me nothing

La, la, la la
Wait ’til I get my money right
La, la, la la
Then you can’t tell me nothing, right?
(I’m serious nigga, I got money)

I’m flamin’ gats, aimin’ at, these fuckin’
Maniacs put my name in raps, what part the
Game is that? Like they hustle backwards
I smoke backwoods, and Duchies
You can’t touch me
Try to rush me
Slugs go, touchy-touchy
Ya bleedin’ lovely, wit’chyo, spirit above me
Or beneath me, ya whole life ya live sneaky
Now ya rest eternally, sleepy, ya burn when ya creep me
Rest where the worms and the weak be
My nine flies, baptize, rap guys
With the holy ghost
I put holes in most, you hold ya toast shakey
Slip-n-tryin’ ta break me
Look what’chyou made me do, brains blue
My team in the marine-blue, six-coupe
Skied it out, weeded out, cleanin’ out
The block for distances, givin’ long kisses bitch

Yeah… that’s right
Baby
That’s how we do it

Follow me, tell me if you feel me, I think niggas is tryna kill me
Picturin’ pistols, spittin’ hollow points ’til they drill me
Keepin’ it real, and even if I do conceal
My criminal thoughts, preoccupied with keepin’ steel
See niggas is false, sittin’ in court, turned snitches
That used to be real, but now they’re petrified bitches
I’m tryna be strong, they sendin’ armies out to bomb me
Listen to Ron, the only DJ that can calm me
Constantly armed, my firepower keep me warm
I’m trapped in the storm, and fuck the world ’til I’m gone
Bitches be warned, word is bond you’ll get torn
I’m bustin’ on Guiliani, he rubbin’ my niggas wrong
And then it’s on, before I leave picture me
I’m spittin’ at punk bitches and hustlin’ to be free
Watch me set it, niggas don’t want it, you can get it
Bet it make these jealous niggas mad I said it
This Thug Life, nigga we don’t cater to you hoes
Fuck with me, have a hundred motherfuckers at ya door with .44s

Hahahahaha, yeah nigga
Thug Life

How many shots does it take, to make my heart stop
And my body start to shake.

Water is all polluted
Beach is all just sewage
And I’m just tryna find my girl
Before it all is ruined (hey)
Water is all polluted
Beach is all just sewage
And I’m just tryna find my love
Before it all is ruined (hey)

Woke up in Venice beach with an itch for some nicotine
Stepped outside and saw the sun and felt the rays against my cheek
Life is sweet, but the end is near
So wasting time is suicide, I’m down to ride and I’m always here
Locked up in my own heart, tryna find my own peace
Focus on survival and forget about that ol’ feast
I’m all good, no bad days
Crushing out a roach with my two fingers in the ash tray
Unfolding like a lotus, happiness is my motive
Poetry is my modus, used to fear that no one would notice
Now there’s thousands that know this, and Russians who can quote it
Woke up and I’m zoning, started writing and owned it (uh)

Say the end is coming, and ain’t no point in running
Nowhere safe there’s no escape, this karma’s gon’ be something
Schools keep on closing but the prisons always stay open
Whole system is broken, can of worms has been opened
Might as well keep smoking, cease the day and go and own it
Dig a grave and toss a rose at all of my opponents
Blow a kiss straight to my girl, she’s the only one in the world
Share my bed and all my bread, fingers running through her curls, but
Now I gotta find her, lost her in the summer
I’m all alone, the worlds end and what a fucking bummer, but
Swear to God I’mma find her cause true love waits (ahh)
Been singing all these love songs before it’s just too late

Water is all polluted
Beach is all just sewage
And I’m just tryna find my girl
Before it all is ruined (hey)
Water is all polluted
Beach is all just sewage
And I’m just tryna find my love
Before it all is ruined (hey)

Gang! Gang! Gang!
They talkin’ down on my name, don’t let ’em run off with the name
Man I just run with the gang, A$AP boys came with the flame
Gang! Gang! They talkin’ down on the gang
They wanna rep with the name but this ain’t no regular name
Gang! Gang! They tryna run with the name

In love with my bitch ’cause she bi
My ice like the stars, I tell that bitch, “Cover your eyes
Cause fuckin’ with me, you go blind”
She losin’ her mind, we kiss to Frank Ocean and Blonde
Convincin’ my bitch to go blonde
Was born in the dark, I kill you, you open my blinds
On Yams and that’s word to my moms
Margiela Madman with cases I’m still tryna beat
A bunch of shit from a long time ago
The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Like dominos, nigga, Geronimos
When it’s my time to go, adiós, vámonos
Flacko no Dominicano but eat the tostones with plátanos
Dealing with life and its highs and lows
I’m just pimpin’ like I’m supposed
I guess it’s called livin’, shit, I suppose
I’m on my live alone, die VLONE
Ain’t talkin’ ’bout spending or buyin’ clothes
I’m ’bout my business but I’m alone
I still had the vision when I was broke
Fuckin’ on bitches and foreign hoes
Flyin’ out womens to boring shows
I pray to God I don’t overdose

I put A$AP on my tat
I put New York on the map
I put the gang on the flames
They gon’ remember the name
They robbin’ boys for the chains
I got Goyard by the sack
I got the boof by the pack
I fucked your boo on her back

Gang! Gang! Them boys not flexing the same
I’m done with adjusting to fame, pull up on your set, leave a stain
Gang! Gang! I tell her come fuck with the gang

It’s time to fuck up the whole game! (Game, game, game, game)

True to truth somehow (Gang, gang)
But never truly lied at all, then and now
They tryna front on the gang
Truth somehow
Gang, A$AP boys come with the flame
But never truly lied at all, then and now
True to truth somehow
But never truly lied at all, then and now

True to truth somehow
But never truly lied at all, then and now
True to truth somehow
But never truly lied at all, then and now
In my dreams, I’m dying all the time
True to truth somehow
But never truly lied at all
Then I wake, it’s kaleidoscopic mind
But never truly lied at all
But never truly lied at all, then and now
I never meant to hurt you (then and now)
I never meant to lie.

Win big, win life, take off, bye bye
No slip, black ice
Big shooter, let fly

In the middle of the road or runnin’ the globe
