Every Now and Then

[Intro]
(Hey, 7AE, how do I get to the seven side?)
Oh really?

[Verse 1]
But look at the history, can't you tell I'm the bigger me?
'Cause lately all there's been is watchin' you play for other teams
Tell me how that grass is lookin' now since it's not a dream?
Petty things, the nice guys settlin'
But you don't wanna see me get cutthroat
In fact you're only good in your city 'cause I say so
Don't let me send the word and you'll be gone like presto
I show up on scene, niggas turn green like pesto
Tell the chef to bring a drink for while I wait on your best joke
So tell me now when I'm around
This conversation changin' as your confidence settle down
I've settled into things that I swore would come around
I manifested everything, I said it then wrote it down
Don't tell me that you got it by yourself when it goes around like merry goes
Numbers goin' higher than merry goes
Jane is who I'm speakin' of, the one with the pretty toes
Back in 2017, I would've just let it go
But my mood is changin', since I said it, it's wrote in stone
Where I'm from it's just a given, what I say is just how it goes
Them boys'll really do you down bad if they ever told
This nod is like a presidential seal, it gets real cold
The weather's not the only thing around here that's chillin' bones
Truth be told, I never hit the mic' with this kinda tone
But every now and then I gotta, just let it go

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Got these niggas bitter
You don't gotta tell the story, I was right there with 'em
[?] fascinations with the way I hit 'em
You counterfeit 'em
They know 7AE's a heavy hitter
I don't need no feature
Girl, I sing and rap on beats, man, I be dirty in 'em
Back and forth from Louis, how I'm strong, Serena Williams
I don't never count in thousands, it's only millions
I told everybody, "Listen, I'll be back to buy the building", and look what happened
Yeah-yeah
Baby know I'm never really trippin' off a has been
She be like, "I see you doin' you, I need to tap in"
Little does she know, somebody's waitin' on the last dance
[?] in that place for everyone except to me of course
Niggas know the deal, I can't move without a show of force
Askin' how it feels, okay, since you really gotta know
Imagine wakin' up to cousins sayin', "Can you please endorse this, that and the other?"
Prior to this shit, your head was always in the gutter
Now you got a business, I see you tryna cut up
Pree them from a far, same ol' thing, I never [?]
I don't say a word, niggas still sayin', "What up?"
In person they don't act the way they actin' on the internet, nah
I be tryna see [?] see who into that now
But really I just, I gotta delegate
I don't see nobody on a better wave
Like anybody's comin' for me anyway
I got a [?] on the way
Run me a check, 'cause I don't wanna talk and I don't wanna play your charade
Loyalty, the only thing I'm puttin' on my back
Someone's watchin' over us, I know and that's a fact
They gon' see the way I cut the step and blow the racks
Shit, I gotta keep it goin' for my brothers, for your last
I know they despise me
They don't gotta find me
I could put all of the little things way behind me
Don't you wish you would've when you had the chance to sign me?
Funny how the time ticks
I be doin' everything like I'm on confinement
There ain't a thing that you could do for me, you can't oblige me
Don't you know I got it all, right here in the palm hand
I could lose it all but I rather be the calm man
