[Intro: Big Sean]
I look up
Yeah and I take my time, n****
I'mma take my time, whoa
Power moves only, n****
[Verse 1: Big Sean]
Boy I'm 'bout my business on business, I drink liquor on liquor
I had women on women, yeah that's bunk bed b******
I've done lived more than an eighty year old man still kickin'
Cause they live for some moments, and I live for a livin'
But this for the girls who barely let me get to first base
On some ground ball s***
Cause now I run my city on some town hall s***
They prayin' on my m***********' downfall b****, like a drought, but
You gon' get this rain like it's May weather
G.O.O.D. Music, Ye weather
Champagne just tastes better
They told me I never boy, never say never
Swear flow special like an infant's first steps
I got paid then reversed debts
Then I finally found a girl that reverse stress
So now I'm talkin' to the reaper to reverse death
Yep, so I can kick it with my granddad, take him for a ride
Show him I made somethin' out myself and not just tried
Show him the house I bought the fam, let him tour inside
No matter how far ahead I get, I always feel behind
In my mind, but f*** tryin' and not doin'
Cause not doin' is somethin' a n**** not doin'
I said f*** tryin' and not doin'
Cause not doin' is somethin' a n**** not doin'
I grew up to Em, B.I.G. and Pac b****, and got ruined
So until I got the same crib B.I.G. had in that Juicy vid
b****, I can't m***********' stop movin'
Go against me, you won't stop losin'
From the city where every month is May-Day at home, spray your dome
n***** get sprayed up like AK was cologne for a paycheck or loan
Yeah I know that s*** ain't fair
They say Detroit ain't got a chance, we ain't even got a mayor
You write your name with a Sharpie, I write mine in stone
I knew the world was for the taking and wouldn't take long
We on, tryna be better than everybody that's better than everybody
Rep Detroit, everybody, Detroit versus everybody
I'm so f*****' first class, I could spit up on every pilot
The city's my Metropolis, feel it, it's metabolic
And I'm over n***** sayin' they're the hottest n*****
Then run to the hottest n***** just to stay hot
I'm one of the hottest because I flame drop
Drop fire, and not because I'm name dropping, Hall of Fame droppin'
And I ain't takin' s*** from nobody unless they're OG's
Cause that ain't the way of a OG
So I G-O collect more G's, every dollar
Never changed though, I'm just the new version of old me
Forever hot headed but never got cold feet
Got up in the game won't look back at my old seats
Clique so deep we take up the whole street
I need a b**** so bad that she take up my whole week, Sean Don
[Bridge: Kendrick Lamar]
Miscellaneous minds are never explainin' their minds
Devilish grin for my alias aliens to respond
Peddlin' sin, thinkin' maybe when you get old you realize
I'm not gonna fold or demise
(I don't smoke crack, m*********** I sell it!)
b****, everything I rap is a quarter piece to your melon
So if you have a relapse, just relax and pop in my disc
Don't you pop me no f****** pill, I'mma a pop you and give you this
[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
Tell Flex to drop a bomb on this s***
So many bombs, ring the alarm like Vietnam on this s***
So many bombs, make Farrakhan think that Saddam in this b****
One at a time, I line em up and bomb on they mom while she watching the kids
I'm in a destruction mode if the gold exists
I'm important like the Pope, I'm a Muslim on pork
I'm Makaveli's offspring, I'm the king of New York
King of the Coast, one hand, I juggle them both
The juggernaut's all in your jugular, you take me for jokes
Live in the basement, church pews and funeral faces
Cartier bracelets for my women friends, I'm in Vegas
Who the f*** y'all thought it's supposed to be?
If Phil Jackson came back, still no coachin' me
I'm uncoachable, I'm unsociable
f*** y'all clubs, f*** y'all pictures, your Instagram can gobble these nuts
Gobble d*** up til you hiccup, my big homie Kurupt
This the same flow that put the rap game on a crutch (Russ x6)
I've seen n***** transform like villain Decepticons
Mollies'll prolly turn these n***** to f****** Lindsay Lohan
A bunch of rich a** white girls looking for parties
Playing with Barbies, wreck the Porsche before you give em the car key
Judgment to the monarchy, blessings to Paul McCartney
You called me a black Beatle, I'm either that or a Marley
(I don't smoke crack m*********** I sell it)
I'm dressed in all black, this is not for the fan of Elvis
I'm aimin' straight for your pelvis, you can't stomach me
You plan on stumpin' me? b**** I"ve been jumped before you put a gun on me
b**** I put one on yours, I'm Sean Connery
James Bonding with none of you n*****, climbing 100 mil in front of me
And I'm gonna get it even if you're in the way
And if you're in it, better run for Pete's sake
I heard the barbershops be in great debates all the time
Bout who's the best MC? Kendrick, Jigga and Nas
Eminem, Andre 3000, the rest of y'all
New n***** just new n*****, don't get involved
And I ain't rockin no more designer s***
White T"s and Nike Cortez, this red Corvette's anonymous.
I'm usually homeboys with the same n***** I'm rhymin' with
But this is hip-hop and them n***** should know what time it is
And that goes for Jermaine Cole, Big KRIT, Wale
Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake
Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller
I got love for you all but I'm tryna murder you n*****
Tryna make sure your core fans never heard of you n*****
They don't wanna hear not one more noun or verb from you n*****
What is competition? I'm tryna raise the bar high
Who tryna jump and get it? You're better off tryna skydive
Out the exit window of 5 G5"s with 5 grand
With your granddad as the pilot he drunk as f*** tryna land
With the hand full of arthritis and popping prosthetic leg
b**pin Pac in the c***pit so the s*** that pops in his head
Is an option of violence, someone heard the stewardess said
That your parachute is a latex condom hooked to a dread
West Coast
[Verse 3: Jay Electronica]
You could check my name on the books
I Earth, Wind, and Fire"d the verse, then rained on the hook
The legend of Dorothy Flowers proclaimed from the roof
The tale of a magnificent king who came from the nooks
Of the wild magnolia, mother of many soldiers
We live by every single word she ever told us
Watch over your shoulders
And keep a tin of beans for when the weather turns the coldest
The Lord is our shepherd, so our cup runneth over
Put your trust in the Lord but tether your Chevy Nova
I"m spittin' this s*** for closure
And God is my witness, so you could get it from Hova
To all you magicians that"s fidgeting with the cobra
I"m silent as a rock, "cause I came from a rock
That"s why I came with a rock, then signed my name on the Roc
Draw a line around some Earth, then put my name on the plot
Cause I endured a lot of pain for everything that I got
The eyelashes like umbrellas when it rains from the heart
And the tissue is like an angel kissin you in the dark
You go from blind sight to hindsight, passion of the Christ
Right, to baskin' in the limelight, it take time to get your mind right
Jay Electricity, PBS mysteries
In a lofty place, tangling with Satan over history
You can"t say s*** to me - Alhamdulillah
It"s strictly by faith that we made it this far
