[Hook]
From molly to holy water (aye)
Devil tryna hold me under (aye)
Protect my soul I know he want it (aye)
I can hear my demons taunting (aye)
Damn I almost had a daughter (aye)
That just got me going harder (aye)
Triple double in a quarter (aye)
Russell Westbrook with the thunder (aye)
I just want a bad bitch, one of them
I just want a fast whip, one of them
I just wanna run it up to the ceiling
Lived through the struggle you don't know the feeling
And you don't know the killers that I know
You can't go the places that I go, Yeah
Ooh I had to get it on my own
I could never turn my back on my home
[Verse 1: Oren Major]
I could never turn my back on my own
But I ain't gone pulpit
This one for the niggas that I grew with
Now the money longer than a pool stick
I was cinderella with the broomstick
I was cast out by the cool kids
I was assed out, I was clueless
All this cash now, what to do with
In the jag now and its roofless
We in saks now going stupid (woo)
Nature boy, hood niggas owe me some favors boy
AK go thet thet and lay ya boy
Know not to run up on Major boy
Swear I need saving, Lately Im focused on paving a better route
I am not perfect, I am not the one to worship
Shorty grew up in the churches, She poppin molly like zyrtec
She actin like pollen the problem, She crazy and I'm the asylum
She crazy and I'm right beside her
We stalkin bout Trump and shit
Bout the corruption of government
And bout how religion is twisted fiction
Its hard to identify as a christian
When the image of Nazareth lackin tone
I heard that they laugh at us back at home
Its true we were chained and brought on the boat
But why we still here, shit I don't know, shit I don't know...
Its true we were chained and brought on the boat
But why we still here shit I don't know, shit I don't know...
[Hook]
[Verse 2: Wave Chapelle]
Hunnid hunnid, million dollars (aye)
Comma, comma, comma, comma (aye)
Women rolling marijuana (aye)
All a nigga ever wanted (aye)
Real nigga my persona (aye)
Tryna pull me a Madonna (aye)
From the foreign, from the cold, but
I just heat up like a sauna (aye)
Put the city on ten
Tryna cop the Benz
Used to ride the Honda (nah)
Now I work, work, work, work, work, work like Rhianna (aye)
Lately, I've been going harder
Made it out the water
Snakes and the pirannhas (damn)
We been eatin homie
They been sleepin on me
They gon stay in they pajamas
Damn, you forever snooze
I can never lose
This is level two
We don't put the glory on a pedestal
Tryna teach these niggas what they never knew
Gotta put the hours in for revenue
Gotta sit and listen what I'm tellin you
We just wanna be great in general
When I go in it's incredible
Look at how far I came
Man look at how far I came
And I know this ain't a bench press
But you know the bar getting raised
And even though them niggas gon hate
Just know, the tables gon turn
And I know we ain't perfect (aye)
But one day we gon learn, we gon learn
Hunnid hunnid, million dollars (aye)
Comma, comma, comma, comma (aye)
Women rolling marijuana (aye)
All a nigga ever wanted (aye)
Real nigga my persona (aye)
Tryna pull me a Madonna (aye)
From the foreign, from the cold, but
I just heat up like a sauna
