[Intro]
Lil' sloppy
[Verse]
Uh, married to the pain
And glass coffins gettin' buried in the fame
Birds of a feather ain't too Larry in the game
Stay the same, only thing scarier than change
Top Boy ting, I'll turn to Jamie if they blam me
'Cause I had to kill 'em, know I did it for the family
Rather have a Rolls-Royce soul in a Camry
Than let 'em make me to another product in the pantry
What's a Bambi to a bambino? (Bambino)
Childish but deadly, I'm a gambino (Gambino)
Ooh, chico, that man frío (Woo)
Ay, dios mío (Woo), if I know, we know
So if I die of natural causes, don't believe 'em
Ain't nothin' natural 'bout the causes they believе in
I put in the work 'cause a thought's not an achievеment
I could paint the pic, but to see it, you gotta breathe it
You gotta need it
[Chorus]
"You got to need it to breathe," my grandma said (My grandma said)
You got to leave it to me, get out my way (Get out my way)
We just be needin' to need, that's not my race
All I really need is the love
All I really need is the, all I really need is the
Love one time for the one time
Matter fact, all time 'cause we all-time
Caste treatin' principals like a part-time
I ain't gon' listen to you pick apart mine
I'm a made man, I should know 'cause I built me
Made man, I'ma grow 'til they kill me
Made man, fuck what you make, man
I could rest 'cause my soul not guilty, you feel me?
[Interlude: Damian Lillard]
You know, I wasn't a, a highly touted middle school player, high school player, or college player
You know, I had to do my work behind the scenes
And I, I didn't know that I was gon' ever get the credit for it or ever get the results for it
I don't forget those steps that it took for me to get here
Which is the work, the discipline, the humility, the compassion
Why would I become thirty and see the results that I got and, and go away from it?
[Chorus]
"You got to need it to breathe," my grandma said (My grandma said)
You got to leave it to me, get out my way (Get out my way)
We just be needin' to need, that's not my race
All I really need is the love
All I really need is the, all I really need is the
Love one time for the one time
Matter fact, all time 'cause we all-time
Caste treatin' principals like a part-time
I ain't gon' listen to you pick apart mine
I'm a made man, I should know 'cause I built me
Made man, I'ma grow 'til they kill me
Made man, fuck what you make, man
I could rest 'cause my soul not guilty, you feel me?
