[Verse 1: Captain Murphy]
Hold up, hold up
I bet you thinking that we dead
Hold up, hold up
I have this bullet in my head
Hold up, hold up

(What did you say, nigga?)
I don't give a damn, you can't make me shame

And I kept you Flying Lotus and I step too
You can't run, just gonna get you
I was live when I met you
Now this seems to upset you
This what the shit gon' get you: Death
