[Pre-Chorus]
Bitch, I keep a Baretta (Uh)

Now they fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up
[Verse 1]
Live more better, live more better
Count that cheddar, count that cheddar
Don't get wet up, don't get wet up
Rock Coachella, rock Coachella
I was left in the cellar (Yeah)
That shit was like hell in a cellar (Yeah)
Sometimes I had to see the teller
Bustin' juggs to get my bread up (Check, check)
Powers made it, got my cred' up (Cred')
Please don't ask us how we met up (Ayy)
I can't be a tattle teller (Teller)
Rather die and go to Hella (Hella)
High Line where she met up (High)
Cousin crib, where she ate up (Yeah)
Tryna leave, I won't let her (Yeah)
Made her bleed, no ketchup (Eat her)
[Pre-Chorus]
Bitch, I keep a Baretta (Yeah)
She so happy I met her

Tryna live more better (You knew this shit)
Now I ride in a Sprinter
They Master Splinter
[Chorus]
Tryna live mo' betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta

Now they fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up, fed up
[Verse 2]
Live more better, better
The rest of these niggas, behead 'em
They just wanna live, I won't let 'em
They keep talkin' shit and I fed 'em, let 'em
This shit that I'm doin', you wishin'

Bitch, I came from jammin' them chips
Magnetic strips, that track two shit
Bitch, I had to run from jakes and hop the fence, that outlaw shit

Fresh off the slavery ship, I'm whippin' shit, I'm rapin' shit
[Pre-Chorus]
Bitch, I keep a Baretta
She so happy I met her (You know that shit)
Said I never forget her (Never)
So I hit her and dead her (Dead that bitch)
Bitch you know better (You know that shit)
Tryna live more better (You know that shit)
Now I ride in a Sprinter (Dead that bitch)
They Master Splinter (I dead that bitch)
[Chorus]
Tryna live mo' betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta, betta
