My man Sway said he gon' put me to the test One beat later, you could put me with the best To be honest, I'm skipping cla**es to be on this But teachers think I'm gorgeous so I'm pa**ing all my courses And they don't really trip, they know I got a greater purpose You just trying to ride a wave until you blow, you like a porpoise Boy, my people's piss-poor, I never had a pot to piss in So I substituted the porcelain for my competition Substituted my dormitory for a laboratory This a haunted reformatory, my life's a horror story Ain't no one been this raw before me, no way they after me When I used to rap at lunch, everybody would laugh at me Now they hit my phone like "Bro, you k**ed that 'No Flex Zone'!" And when I finally get on, it's gon' feel crazy to flex on 'em I was writing scriptures, all that time I spent in detention The industry looking like a hair extension convention Your track's fake, better get your facts straight You gon' get this work, I don't care if I get to cla** late, s**er Check out my man Sway gritting his teeth Hey, I guess that's just what happens when you listen to me Spitting the heat, got the keys to the city of Cleve The city of thieves, where n***as never pity the weak Ain't it ironic? Like Nicolas Cage, I'm on fire So I would never need a ghostwriter My flow hotter, I should be residing in Florida And you ain't putting out no fire, you an old lighter I swear, to deny me is to deny a god I thought I made that clear when I hopped on that "Fire Squad" I'm odd, I'm from the streets where they letting them gats loose And the only tears you see is from n***as with tattoos On their face, only thing you could do is say grace And the only thing my mom could do is tell her son to stay safe I know, mom, you the reason I'm the gold in the coal mine I know I'm gon' shine, motherf** a cosign You see, ain't no way around this no more, it never was that A lot of rappers claim they the greatest, I never does that I just sit back and let the gums flap, I never fuss back I know I was the chosen one since I was in the nutsack Sperm cell with the heart of a s**m whale Ready to tackle the world, never heard of the term "fail" I learn well, I knew they tried to stop the explosion But God had a better plan, I busted right through that Trojan, blow! Out came the Messiah, darker than you'd think he'd be Threw him in the hood where the youngins think they in GBE He grew up hungry, trying to go from EBT to BET Momma just want my GED, I'm trying to sign to TDE I'm trying to see me on the TV screen, they said it's farfetched Unless you like Ginobli height, then that'll be a long stretch Like how you trying to ball? Boy, you ain't even gotten tall yet But I'm like Metta on Viagra, I'm the hardest Artest Ain't no world peace cause don't nobody want to do right Them shells flying, got the projects looking like a food fight A coupe of troopers playing stupid, they gon' shoot Leave you stinkin', they gon' have to move you with a pooper scooper You and all your dogs scary? Y'all some Scooby Doos I'm like Scrappy Doo, my flow is deep, I'm like a super scuba diver We are not the same, there's a big difference between you and I, bruh You are not a writer, you more like an Uber driver I've never had a prior job, nobody can hire God I dropped your thot, they thought I couldn't rap, I find it kinda odd I got the drive, and plus my brakes is broken, ain't no tryna stop And boy, my "Fire Squad" is twice as hard as your entire mob And I apologize, it's kinda hard to compete I'm too elite, mixed with a scholar and a god of the streets My momma proud of me, I'm running toward my college degree Instead of running from police who like the sound of the heat, blow! With the speed of a bullet as soon as you blast it I was moving onto campus working towards my bachelor's And I'm in school for fashion, but that ain't even my pa**ion So when I be skipping cla**es, it's cause I be writing cla**ics Man, I never thought I'd miss the hood so much I've grown up, I had to go even though I ain't even want up You know what? I'm trying to blow up So when I walk the stage, I pray it's for a Grammy before a diploma It's Ezzy
