Motherfuck the system, tryna to give us all a sentence

Rollin' up, gettin' high, ashеs falling on my linen (Yeah)
Life changin' with the time, so lately, I been reminiscin'
Sittin' back of the Maybach, wishin' we that was in the Bentley (Yeah)
Talkin' 'bout all of these fuck niggas that always had some envy
Yeah, know they envious (Envious)
Switching on my brother, are you serious? (Serious)
Nigga ain't gon' touch me and that's period (Period)
Only person I fear on this world is God (World is God)
Please do not look for me, I'm going far
I made a few mistakes, but I'm still a star
I hate the government, tryna tear us apart
But I'ma keep it goin', that's what's in my heart
[Chorus]
It's gon' feel like it's payback, haters love to say that (Uh)

Ain't sipped purple in so long, I don't wanna relapse
[Verse 2]
Daytime, havin' the chills, in the feel of frustration (Frustration)

Real discrete location, out of state with my lil' lady (My lil' lady)
Told my dog, "Be patient, we gon' boost back up the ratings" (Yeah)
Condo overseas, I told her, "This ain't no vacation" (Nah)
Gon' do it times ten this time for all the times I waited

I take a fall and break it down and build it up (Build it up)
Uh, staying down, countin' to hundred plus (Hundred plus)
All you fuckin' suckers keep on holdin' nuts (Holdin' nuts)

I thought that we was fam', we really never was
I lost a lot of niggas, ooh, a lot of doves (Ooh, woah)
And you thought I was on surface but I rose above (Ooh, woah)
