[Verse 1]
What you call it when I'm winning?
Need to find some other words for how I spin it
Make 'em lean in when I'm speakin'
Turn my back, it make 'em mad, it's not my business
You wanna get what you want when you want it?

'Cause in the old country
You could make me tap dance, shake hands, yes ma'am
But I'm a free man now and

Not for you (Not for you)
[Chorus]

You can't fake the cool
I could do it in my sleep
Seven days out of the week
It's a cake, oh, it's a breeze, hey
[Bridge]
Shut up, motherfucker
I don't take requests
Blessed be my lovers
I'm not like the rest
I'm bad like my mother
So don't disrespect
There'll never be another
I'm better than your best
[Outro]
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better, I'm better than your best
I'm better than your—

MILES was produced by Slot-A.
