Lyrics from Snippets
[Intro]
I just need you, know what I'm sayin' at this point, it's gone
Nigga, I seen goddamn a picture of your feed (Feed)
That shit got me thinkin' damn, it's crazy
[Chorus]
Even though my mama taught me manners
I was puffin' bars, I can't forget the ashes
Pull the top off and I'm ridin with a baddie
'Cause all though nun those shit didn't come from asking (Yeah)
She saw me beggin' in my mind, you can imagine
They said that she said she was in my mind, she was crashin'
Callin' for new girls, I need a castin'
All this savin' the world, I'm so dramatic (Yeah)
[Verse 1]
Tom Ford glasses when I'm back (Yeah)
Get geeked out in my mind, I understand (Yeah)
I'm kinda gettin' tired of backstabbin' (Ooh)
Why can't I live past ya I got assassins
Drink some tropical cotton candy
That's how you overcome all the damages
Why we gotta listen to our teachers and give them the manners (We up)
When the shit they teachin' us is more damnin' (Woo, woo)
Tired out, she said she gone, she tired of cryin' now (She gone, she tired of cryin' now)
Give a dog a bone, she told him dine out (Boss, she told her cry now)
Why once you gone I see the signs now (Okay, I see this shit)
Fighting depression think I'm dyin' now
Sometimes I feel like blowin' my mind out
Probably wouldn't be here if I ain't have a child now
Oh, if I could see the smiles of my mama, and my father
I'm interested in weapons and it's clearly showin' (Woo, woo)
I'm walkin' with depression and it's clearly showin' (Woo, woo)
I couldn't see my direction if it was nearly shown (Woo, woo)
I'm thinkin' about nothin' and it's really shown (Woo, woo)
You can see the look in my eyes and see you matter more than everything (Woo, woo)
I'm 'bout to see you guys in one second that's on everything (Woo, woo)
Yeah, these niggas fake in disguise so when I watch I watch everything (Woo, woo)
I see the envy in they eyes, soon as I sleep I rock every chain on all y'all (Woo, woo)
And you you can tell me that I'm wrong (Ooh, ooh)
They used to tell me that I'm trippin' when I'm on (Woo, woo)
You ain't tell me who I can and can't put on (Woo, woo)
And I legit tried to fill a rollie for my kids in stone
[Bridge]
Yeah, even though I'm so superb it's like
It's like I'm fightin' for somethin' I deserve, you know what I'm sayin'? Like
It's not a great feelin', you know what I'm sayin'?
And um (Slatt)
[Verse 2]
They droppin' roses on caskets (Yeah, yeah)
We not thinkin' 'bout the romantic
This shit get under my skin like it's scabbing
Droppin' the top like an assassin
Ferrari came with horses, no carriage (Ooh)
Baby only can get an abortion, I'm a savage
Be quiet, let your eyes heal and when they rambling
And you see the moment niggas heart get off balance
How you gon' leave me before you find out? (How you gon' leave me?)
How you gon' leave before you find out? (How you gon leave me?)
You remember the hill I helped you climb now huh
You can see in my eyes I'm never lying now
I'm the part of reason the jets that you flying now
Man, I'm so sick and tired of cryin' now
I had to wipe my eyes before they dried out
I blame my dad for all this Prada, uh (Oh)
I had to wipe my eyes before they dried (Oh)
I'll shoot off and watch 'em die (Brrt, brrt)
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, I want a brand new rolls Royce truck
Ooh, I wanna start it all over
Ooh, I'll snake you out I'm king cobra, yeah, yeah
We gon' be there at Fashion Nova
Like the 'Nolia, baby, you the one yeah, yeah, ooh
[Chorus]
Okay, even though my mama taught me manners
I was puffin' bars, I can't forget the ashes
Pull the top off and I'm ridin' with a baddie
'Cause I don't know if she can handle her past self (Yeah)
She saw me beggin' in my mind, you can imagine
They said that she said she was in my mind, she was crashin'
Callin' for new girls, I need a castin'
All this savin' the world, I'm so dramatic (Yeah)
