[Intro]
ADG, stop playing
Yeah
Uh (Taylor on the beat)
It's time
Yeah, yeah-yeah
[Chorus]
Straight out the mud, a true king, shit, but I came up too clean (But I came up too clean)
I seen some niggas with hoop dreams really grow up and shoot things (Facts)
They ain't really my friends, they really be haters, I cut off the loose strings (I cut off the loose strings)
I count it again, go over that paper like I'm tryna proofread (Like I'm tryna proofread)
[Verse 1]
Before I was rapping, I swear the first fans that I had was two fiends (Yeah)
They were so happy whenever I'd pull up, they'd buy everything that I do bring (Haha)
Dopehead's in a room with a spoon tryna tie his arm with a shoestring (Shoestring)
Streets teach you how to move, can't be a victim laying dead on the news scene (Nah, nah, nah)
I take my emotions and bottle 'em in (Bottle 'em in), I never focus on following trends (Following trends)
When I was broke, I thought as soon as I made me some dollars, I swear that my problems would end (I swear)
I had to move a lil' product, I couldn't be sitting around starving, that's not who I am (That's not who I am)
How we supposed to get farther? We come from the bottom, my nigga, the options is slim (Option is slim)
Niggas is taking the goofy way out, I already see how this movie play out
Too much that I flashin', ain't none of y'all packin', don't know why you lettin' your jewelry hang out (Jewelry hang out)
It'll be tragic, roll down the window in traffic, they letting the toolie bang out (Toolie bang out)
And let them have it, now you gon' get what you askin', just 'cause you do it for clout (Do it for clout)
I'm takin' Addys, it's keeping me up and I use it like caffeine (I use it like caffeine)
And I don't really like sleepin' too much 'cause I used to have bad dreams ('Cause I used to have bad dreams)
Brought on my demons that passed, they pulling up on me with black wings (Yeah)
All I could see is the yellow tape and shell casings from where they was last seen (Last seen)
[Chorus]
Straight out the mud, a true king, shit, but I came up too clean (But I came up too clean)
I seen some niggas with hoop dreams really grow up and shoot things (Facts)
They ain't really my friends, they really be haters, I cut off the loose strings (I cut off the loose strings)
I count it again, go over that paper like I'm tryna proofread (Like I'm tryna proofread)
[Verse 2]
Fifty thousand right inside of my Louis knapsack and I keep it in twenties (I keep it in twenties)
Just me and my bitch in the coupe, put the top to the back, feel the breeze when it's sunny (Uh)
I spent a thousand on Dior slides, I made sure my feet always comfy (And what?)
I put ten thou' on a fuck nigga head, when they kill him, I'll leave out the country (Country)
I'm in L.A., 'bout to pick up some plates, I make sure my weed always fluffy (My weed always fluffy)
This bitch tellin' me that it's cool to do coke, I tell her, "To me, you a customer"
Get kicked to the curb, bitch, you disgust me, just watch your words when you discuss me
.38 on me, this shit kinda rusty, I'm poppin' it first, so watch how you rush me
I was a no-name, kinda dusty (Kinda dusty), gettin' that low 'caine, shout out Dusty (Shout out Dusty)
I was a kid, I knew I would get me a billi' when most niggas wanted a Huffy
Too many niggas was dying on Perks and lean, so I got addicted to uppies (Bitch)
I'm from the side of the water where you see the shark fins, we don't swim with the guppies
[Chorus]
Straight out the mud, a true king, shit, but I came up too clean (But I came up too clean)
I seen some niggas with hoop dreams really grow up and shoot things (Facts)
They ain't really my friends, they really be haters, I cut off the loose strings (I cut off the loose strings)
I count it again, go over that paper like I'm tryna proofread (Like I'm tryna proofread)
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
