SAVEMONEY shit
[Verse 1: Joey Purp]
This shit sound like the summer's gone
And all the bitches and parties left at the summer homes
And all the niggas with burners that left the safety off
And kids turned statistics that's left here when the summer's gone
This shit feel right, ooh, this shit feel like
Jordan for 40 at 40 to let you know he's still Mike
All the thots that turned into good girls with a mad type
Who let me fuck before their relationships and they still might
This feels crazy, yeah, this feels different
This year's crazy, yeah, this year's different
This here, baby, yeah, this here's different
This fifth gear, this lane changing
And this big-wheeling and this big pimping, I swear
I had to wake them niggas' sleep up, had to clean the streets up
She finished catching all my babies, I just put the seat up
I'm on these papers, I'm off the papers, can't roll no weed up
So please make sure you use my name if you addressing me now
[Chorus: Choir & Knox Fortune]
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
[Verse 2: Joey Purp]
I got these niggas in check and checks is addressed to me now
I put my heart and my soul in this shit, I'm hardly home
I guess some hands are made to fold, that's the way it goes
They tried to wish me gone, I'm back on my Derrick Rose
They tried to sabotage the movement like we only human
You mere mortals can't keep pace with the speed we moving
This shit feel like a first communion, SAVEMONEY union
We are just in tune with some shit that you niggas not in tune with
Uh, my niggas looking for different bitches
I'm in the bigger business, focused on the bigger picture
I've sold crack, I'll be damned if I can't sell a rap
I've been to hell and back, I'm on this bitch running track
It sound like I'm writing eulogies now
Niggas that wanna hate me gotta go and google me now
No handshakes for none of these fake niggas, I vow
It's gonna be fuck the other side forever, that's what's on my mind forever
Purple
[Chorus: Choir & Knox Fortune]

Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now
[Chorus: Choir & Knox Fortune]
Yeah, now
I need to escape now, now

Yeah, now
