[Intro]
On the drums, Chris Dave
Yeah
[Hook]
Wake me when it's over
I just wanna get my piece up on a heel
Motherfuckers wanna take me for a joker
I'm way too high for a boat deal
I'm too strong for that shit
I'm too grown for that shit
I'm too smart for that shit
I'm too real, yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna lay up, sleeping is for later
Life is what you make it, so let's make the papers
It was but a dream that I was [?]
Said you gotta see these from the point of view of elevation
Niece's dedication, I didn't get to make it
But on the freeway racing, I had a revelation
Everything you are is a reflection of the greatest
So you can never be late, there's no mistakes in this creation
[Verse 2]
Uh, you haters can't stand it
I'll sniff a pile of sugar off the crack of a fanny
I'll jumpin' off the roof and parachute in my jammies
Overlooking the city in the midst of a famine
Like where we gon' land this?
Ass on a canvas, frontin' up with cash and
Hand over head with a belly full of scraps
[?], soul like a blackbird, back like a mattress
Get back you bastards
[Hook]
Wake me when it's over
I just wanna get my piece up on a heel
Motherfuckers wanna take me for a joker
I'm way too high for a boat deal
I'm too strong for that shit
I'm too grown for that shit
I'm too smart for that shit
I'm too real, yeah, uh
[Verse 3]
Grew in southern Baptist
Playing on the trap kit
Watching all the pastors, deacons and the grannies
Collecting them offerings, pulling off in them Caddies
I fell in love with a singer, a sensitive Cancer
She told me, "You should sing my nigga, fuck all that rap shit"
I headed to L.A. and started honing my craft, then
Chaffi told me about them boys who drew up the atlas
My nigga, D, he introduced me to Robert Glasper
That nigga on the drums is somewhere living on NASA
I dropped out of class, then
Two weeks passed then I needed extra cash, so
I'm back on the crash course
Playing for them camcorders, singing on a big stage
Nigga since sixth grade, really, ain't shit changed
You gon' have to kill me
I'm here till you feel me
Ain't shit changed
Ninja Turtle P.J.s
Niggas can't kill me
I'm here till you feel me
