The Code

[Intro]
Yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah

[Chorus]
I'm tryna take it as high as it go
I've been by the code, you know how I be
I am a product of puttin' my curses to rest so my family tree could see growth
They tell me they free, but they work for the man
I can't relate, I did it on my own
Look how we grow out the concrete to a rose, it's stuck by the cove

[Verse 1]
Kush got me back on a float
I'm really tryin' my hardest, restrainin' un-masculine urges
Show up and glowin' these boys, don't tell me I won't (Yеah-yeah)
Can't nobody see me
I've been on go timе and to be honest, it's not even close
Your favorite is fakin' his streams, he a meme, he not what he show
But what do I know?
Are them thoughts that you have even yours?
I'm payin' my pain over course
Fuck a reward, I'm earnin' my stripes
I give her the pipe, I'm generous
I say how I feel, I go where I grow
Don't tell me that love is for me, I'm here on my own, I'm feedin' my soul

[Chorus]
Been by the code, you know how I be
I am a product of puttin' my curses to rest so my family tree could see growth
They tell me they free, but they work for the man
I can't relate, I did it on my own
Look how we grow out the concrete to a rose, it's stuck by the code
I'm tryna take it as high as it go
I've been by the code, you know how I be
I am a product of puttin' my curses to rest so my family tree could see growth
They tell me they free, but they work for the man
I can't relate, I did it on my own
Look how we grow out the concrete to a rose, it's stuck by the cove

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah-yeah (Been by the code, you know how I be)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah (Been by the code)
Yeah-yeah (Been by the code, you know how I be)
Oh, yeah, oh, yeah-yeah

[Verse 2]
Welcome to my world, this shit not no joke, I'm right at your throat
Hopin’ you takin’ the time to cope with me, runnin' my race, you not at my pace
These niggas act like I'm not goated, but already know I've been him on the low
I did it myself, I'm fond of the code
I don't need your hand, bitch, I'm good on my own (Yeah)
I'm paintin' my pain
Are them thoughts even yours?
I give her the pipe, she told me I'm generous, movin' real diligent
Blue bands on me, earnin' my stripes, I say how I feel, I go where I grow
I bag up a fortune, it's all for the sport, I'm feedin' my soul

[Chorus]
Been by the code, you know how I be
I am a product of puttin' my curses to rest so my family tree could see growth
They tell me they free, but they work for the man
I can't relate, I did it on my own
Look how we grow out the concrete to a rose, it's stuck by the code
I'm tryna take it as high as it go
I've been by the code, you know how I be
I am a product of puttin' my curses to rest so my family tree could see growth
They tell me they free, but they work for the man
I can't relate, I did it on my own
Look how we grow out the concrete to a rose, just don’t get too close

[Post-Chorus]
Been by the code, you know how I be
Grew out the mud pit to a rose, don't get too close
Been by the code, you know how I be

[Outro]
Yeah-yeah (When you wake up in the morning)
(You got two choices)
(Go back to sleep, entering your dreams, or wake up, entering some dreams)
(Choice is yours)
