[Intro]
Uh
Now I'm living righteous
Writing kites, my cousin's lifeing
Not a b**h I've thought of wifeing
Nah man, I ain't that, I ain't that
Cut that sh** out of here, man
(That sh** is hot, man!)
I ain't f**ing with that one, man
f** it
k**ing flows
Kilos coming in
Hovering over balconies
In public I'm disguised
I know these n***as is out for me
(Woohoo!)
Damn, that neither, man!
(I was f**in' with that!)
Gotta give ‘em something different
{Get that sh** out o' here?}
Oh!
[Verse 1]
Uh!
Retro Jordans from Ninety-One
Balmain jeans with the zipper
I'm from a grimy slum (East side!)
Where they get your mommy hung
Chain smoking that potent
Like I ain't got a lung
Play tough if you want
Shots fly, them n***as gotta run (prrr!)
Jim Carrey, put on my mask, pull out a Tommy gun
Morgue's running out of space
The East is where them bodies from
Heard he likes to talk, torture tactic
We'll rip out his tongue
‘Til I'm dead, I'm after bread
I come from without a crumb (nothing!)
Not gonna need a baker, sipping white Remy
Jordan was the man, yea but n***as liked Penny
You've been afraid
No lemonade, I live my life simply
n***as dying over Cee-Lo, call it dice envy {get your head cracked!}
Walking out of Bloomie's, mad brown bags
I know some n***as into swiping, but we're ‘round cash (we're good)
I'm still the same, them n***as changed ‘s soon as they found cash
Broke it down to onions, we're pumping
One day that pound last
(Yea!)
[Hook 1]
Started on the corner
Now I'm in them offices, they're offering
Now I hear them whisper when I'm walking in
It ain't safe in the area my apartment's in
Harlem
Started on the corner (uh)
Started on the corner (uh)
Started on the corner
Now I'm in them offices, they're offering
(Light it!)
[Verse 2]
Heart on freezer
Pies get delivered to your door like pizza (uh)
Henny got me leaning like that tower out in Piza (leaning)
n***as wasn't f**ing with me, now they're all believers (right)
Speak my pain
He got game, I feel like Jesus
Just couldn't relate, ain't never listened to Yeezus (never)
Still got connects with dope, Sour in the freezer
FoodSaver sealers and some scissors, thank you Jesus
I ain't meet her once, tatted my name right on her cleavage
Kush got me talkin' to nutso, like “are we even?”
Retaliation as soon as they hit us, no time for grieving
My youngin's seventeen, he'll shoot you without a reason
In the jungle all my life, ain't never seen Tarzan (never)
Pull up on n***as and hear my sh** up in the car playing
Thinking they're fresh, shorty got k**ed up in that park playing
I've seen that same sh** happen uptown, look what my heart's painting
[Hook 2]
(You see it)
Started on the corner
(On the corner)
Now I'm in them offices, they're offering (uh)
Now I hear them whisper when I'm walking in
(I hear them talking)
It ain't safe in the area my apartment's in
Harlem
Started on the corner
Started on the corner (Buda!)
Started on the corner (East side!)
Now I'm in them offices, they're offering
(Light it!)
[Outro]
I'm a nice n***a all around, dawg
I write songs, I write R&B, I write everything
I look better than them n***as
That's why them n***as don't want me in the front
‘Cause I look better than them n***as
And when you look better and get all the b**hes
n***as don't want you in the front
Became a boss since the last time you met me, man
Things have changed, man
n***as running around talking about ‘I'm a hood n***a,' man
I run an organization, man
The streets is mine, man
I make, I make—I make bread
And I, and I, like, n***as follow me, man
I'm a boss!
I'm not with that—it's never, it's never, nothing, no more
I look like a boss, I feel like a boss, I taste like a boss, n***a
