Nicotine

[Intro]
Yeah, aye
Yeah

[Hook]
I've been givin' this shit every single inch of me
I don't listen to the snakes or throw the trickery
I ain't eatin' the forbidden fruit they give to me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Like it's nicotine, like it was nicotine
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Got 'em askin' what the hell has gotten into me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine

[Verse 1]
I been workin' at this shit since I was seventeen
Now they finally taking notice
Yeah, we finally got it going
Now they listen to my words like it's the liturgy
I ain't stoppin' the pursuit until I'm rollin' like the POTUS
Pour my heart into these songs like a soliloquy
Speakin' from the soul, tellin' stories with these poems
Uh, I said "Fuck the rules", I did it differently
Never did it for the money
All of that was just a bonus
Aye, I'm an addict for this music, I'm a fiend
Used to be behind the scenes
Now they see me on the screens
I been out here tryna chase my dreams since I was just a teen
They tell me to give it up, but I just don't know what that means
Yeah, don't know how to quit
Only how to spit
In my zone so long, I can't get out of it
I'm on a power trip
They said I would not amount to shit
That's looking like a lie now
These days, when I step on stage, they raise they eyebrows

[Hook]
I've been givin' this shit every single inch of me
I don't listen to the snakes or throw the trickery
I ain't eatin' the forbidden fruit they give to me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Like it's nicotine, like it was nicotine
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Got 'em askin' what the hell has gotten into me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine

[Verse 2]
Yeah, aye
I been makin' waves, wow
I ain't playin' games now
All the shit you hearin' on the radio is played out
They all took the safe route
They all got the same clout
I been racin' down my lane like someone cut the brakes out
Yeah, where I'm goin', you can't follow me
I been in the studio so long, feel like it swallowed me
Music's all I got in me
I work too much for modesty
Lyricism's programmed deep inside of my biology
(Yeah) We ain't the same, we ain't the same
I work harder, homie
(Uh) I got the style, I got the brains
I'll go farther, homie
(Yeah) I'm not your friend, I'm not your boy
I'm not your partner, broski
(Yeah) Get out my way
I'm here to stay like permanent marker, homie
Uh, I ain't goin' nowhere if it ain't up
Got no time for the snakes or the fake love
Keep my circle small, only fuckin' with the Day Ones
Cross me once, there ain't no way we gon' make up

[Hook]
I've been givin' this shit every single inch of me
I don't listen to the snakes or throw the trickery
I ain't eatin' the forbidden fruit they give to me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Like it's nicotine, like it was nicotine
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
Got 'em askin' what the hell has gotten into me
I'm addicted to the music like it's nicotine
