[Intro]
I'm the greatest
[Hook]
Mixed messages messin’ with my head (Um, um)
Go ahead bitch push me to the edge (Yeah, yeah)
Don't make a nigga take that one step (What?)
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Two black straps I can access
I’ll turn your man dem into target practice
Don't make a nigga take that one step (Uh-a)
Don't make a nigga take that one step (Um)
[Verse 1]
I'm one step away from things that I've never had
I'm one step away from behavin' just like my dad
I told my girl, "Fix-up," she wanna get me mad
Look I don't wanna be bad, but I ain’t livin’ sad (Nah)
Two chicks messaging me that they're all alone
I always seem to get this message on my way home (Skrrr)
I lock my phone and tell myself I’m tryna be grown
Then I regret when I get in and hear my girl moan
Too many man wanna be rich, but not grind
That girl says she my ex, she weren't mine
Telling me she wanna have sex and what time
She aired out your calls you're vex
Oh, never mind
Fleeked up, posting up pictures in Dubai
Saying how you're there for work, you’re too lie
Public figure since when don't make me die
You're telling me don't chat to your friend
I'm gonna try
[Hook]
Mixed messages messin' with my head (Um, um)
Go ahead bitch push me to the edge (Yeah, yeah)
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Two black straps I can access
I'll turn your man dem into target practice
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
[Verse 2]
Step, step, step, step
When you step don't step incorrect
Pull up on him make the whole crew jet
Niggas gonna lose their lives over internet threats
She just text me, I'm so into that text (Yeah)
Yoga, yoga she garn get stretched (Whoop)
You said she was your girl now you got a calm ex
Put her lips on the D now it's full of Carmex
Have you ever met a weird ass nigga like me? (Hmm)
Guess not
Drinking rum till my chest's hot
But guess what? All that make-up make you less hot
I like you better when you don't hide your stress spots (Whoop)
You like me better when I'm hittin' up them next spots
While I'm kissin' on your neck and them chest spots (Yeah)
Shoppin' time, I'ma take you to them West spots
Only if you don't play me like an X-box
[Hook]
Mixed messages messin' with my head (Um, um)
Go ahead bitch push me to the edge (Yeah, yeah)
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Two black straps I can access
I'll turn your man dem into target practice
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
[Verse 3]
Man's not on that (Nah)
Man drink white rum, sometimes Cognac
Sometimes niggas get gassed when they on yak
And wan have a fight like Mortal Combat
It's best you sober up yourself and try come back
Cause if you pick up two shots you won't come back
I always say I'm goin' shop and don't come back
And end up chillin' on the block near a long strap
Crazy (Um, yeah)
You can't phase me
Save yourself cause you really can't save me
I done made up my mind when I made my bed
So, I don't have messy thoughts when I lay my head
She done somethin' to my head
When she gave me head
Four-fifth is so loud probably wake the dead
Got white men tryna act like they ain't a fed
Look, I get love from Rastas ‘though I ain't a dread
[Hook]
Mixed messages messin' with my head (Um, um)
Go ahead bitch push me to the edge (Yeah, yeah)
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Two black straps I can access
I'll turn your man dem into target practice
Don't make a nigga take that one step
Don't make a nigga take that one step
[Outro]
That was—that was a good effort
I'm sure it was appreciated
