In this song, Bazanji reacts to his critics wanting him to stop rapping and having issues with his style, while simultaneously, yet subliminally, mentions and chastises the actions of mumble rappers.

Wa-watch out for the snakes
Watch out for the
Wa-watch out for the snakes, yeah

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you been so focused on me
Damn, I think you forgot about you
Feel like the G.O.A.T., I'm surrounded by sheep
Damn, you been busy watching me move
Pay it no mind, stayin' online
If you been wondering, I'm doing fine
Made a hundred fifty in a year
I'm only 22, so don't pay me ya time
Back with a track and I been movin up
I'ma bachelor, but you know I been gettin' love
And I'm back on my rap when my life gettin' tough
I'ma master the craft and I never give it up
I put in time, I earned the shine, I worked it out, I made it mine, it fell in line
And I came a long way, not the wrong way
Know that one day I'll be big as Kanye
[Pre-Chorus]
I seen all the signs, I seen all the signs (signs)
They been tellin' lies, they been tellin' lies
Watchin' how I move, watchin' how I move (watchin')
I been keepin' track now
[Chorus]
Watch out for the snakes
Watch out for the snakes, yeah (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah
Watch out for the
Copyin' what I do every time
They wanna take what's mine (what's mine)
They busy fakin' and tellin' me lies (nah)
Now I watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah
Watch out for the (woo!)
Copyin' what I do every time
They wanna take what's mine (what's mine)
They busy fakin' and tellin' me lies (nah)
Now I watch out for the snakes (watch out)
[Verse 2]
Y'all been too busy flexin
I been too busy not checking
I learned my way from my lessons
I earned my way from my blessin's
Don't try to come take my possessions
'Cause you know that I'm way too invested
And I got some big plans
And my life a story like Instagram
Move alone, don't need a middle-man
And I handle business, I'm a busy man
Made a LLC, now I'm a businessman
If you want a feature, you need fifty grand
I been on my way to the top
Been on my way to a flop
I seen both sides
Y'all really thought I would stop
But I gotta pave out my way, I'ma take my time
[Pre-Chorus]
I seen all the signs, I seen all the signs (signs)
They been tellin' lies, they been tellin' lies
Watchin' how I move, watchin' how I move (watchin')
I been keepin' track now
[Chorus]
Watch out for the snakes
Watch out for the snakes, yeah (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah
Watch out for the
Copyin' what I do every time
They wanna take what's mine (mine)
They busy fakin' and tellin' me lies (nah)
Now I watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes (watch out)
Watch out for the snakes, yeah
Watch out for the (woo!)
Copyin' what I do every time
They wanna take what's mine (what's mine)
They busy fakin' and tellin' me lies (nah)
Now I watch out for the snakes (watch out)
