[Intro]
And now to our number 1 trending story... it involves talk of alien sightings at Bayside Market Place... People are posting online that police weren't there to deal with a group of rowdy teens but with a group of 8 to 10 foot aliens... I'm never gonna tell my wife how I am ahaha because she doesn't know... read all you want but remember no aliens ahaha
[Verse 1]
Welcome, welcome back, welcome back been a minute
Hoodrats bigbacks snapbacks ahaha
Welcome back its been a minute
Feel like its been a century (wow)
Feel like I just got back from the year 2050
See really I didn't miss it
See everything was simplistic
And all the women were perfect
But BBLs on Ozempic
I just shifted dimensions
I visited evey furture
I witnessed every prediction
From science to fiction
Im highly indifferent
Sometimes I conspire to say goodbye to this whole entire existence
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought i was suicidal i was simply confined too much
For me to see high enough
For me to see high enough
I snatch her soul, she on her toes no podariast
Thought i was Irish how i built an empire up (piping up)
Said I'm on pluto im on mars, on go I'm gon moonwalk
That coochie on that molly I get too strung up
I dont want you round me if you too high
But that head go kobra kai she like Medusa
[Chorus]
She brought that waterpark to the 10th floor
With nothing but some miles and a trenchcoat
My type of innuendo
And everything we do is confidential
[Post-Chorus]
Ice cap melting
And I can't help it
The ocean rising
Shit I like shellfish
And you, (wow) shit you sound real helpless
The climate forvever changes but im not desperate
[Verse 2]
Desperately reaching out
People kept peacing out
Im like damn is it me do it seem
Like, like im reaching for something like a nigga need the clout?
I got, I got Ms to make no friends to make no tims to date nothing
Natural or BBL I don't discriminate
They dont who im is what it is that im after
Is he a persecuted rapper?
Blackballed for whipping a slave master?
Or is he the archetypal nigga
Masonic figure
Grammy nominated
Or somewhere in the middle?
Travel do time like im Trunks
Travel do time like im Trump
Let adam and eve hit a blunt
(Wow) Can't take my mind off kf Palestine
And abbot elementary is what i smoke
Roll up a philly I blunt
Tell the janitor clean up the residue
Tell the principal let's get some lunch
[Chorus]
She brought that waterpark to the 10th floor
With nothing but some miles and a trenchcoat
My type of innuendo
And everything we do is confidential
[Post-Chorus]
Ice cap melting
And I can't help it
The ocean rising
Shit I like shellfish
