(Intro)
Imma one take this
(Verse 1)
Goal of the year is to hit it so hard that you think I got a ghost writer
Other rappers jealous because I flow tighter
Jumping over these bars like a f**ing harlem globetrotter
When Tyrone and I hit it, you know these views go right up
If ya girls an artist I'll probably cosign her
Right before I go inside her
I don't spend moneys on hoes
When they clothes already so designer
So you can spoil her, leave her back for me to find her
It's easy to f**ing steal your girl
When ya'll look like you belong on grindr
Tyrone and I taking shots like a fighter pilot
Grinding until a both of us have a private island
Until i got a billboard column as the hottest humble and most talented artist
We've come a long way since chubby cousins with friendly competition
Sitting in a parking lots, with freestyles we never finished
3 years later we got better through repetition
Nobody can really get at us, we both handle our business
Man this is just a tale of 2 citiez
I knew a girl that really f**ed with me, her game was so tricky And I guess I got a bit deep
She took my breathe away, goddamn it I miss you Nikki
But you would have put me in the grave
Yeah Tyrone and I have seen two different sides of the same place
Look through my eyes and you'll see that half of the world just ain't safe
I learned quick even though I came late
Don't trust no one, cause its rare to find someone honest, cause out here to keep it 100, ya'll gotta start conflict
Ain't that ironic, no need to throw punches don't need to be Adonis
But when you're down hip hops the only one there like it's just me and the chronic
Forest Hills Drive, got me up vibing at 5
A tale of 2 citiez got me waiting for a ride
Without hip hop I'd just be waiting to die
But I'm okay cause I know its going to be alright
And when I wake up, I realise that I'm rhyming to the wrong beat
Homies thinking they kings so I walk up to throne like motherf**er why you sitting in the wrong seat?
Goddamn I should put a few ex girls in the hot seat
Throw a shout to Drake and start talking about how they wronged me, and why they ain't call me
Goddamn Rashad why you gotta be so salty?
Half of these girls be so f**ing dumb
And they just craving someones love
White girls that would vote Donald Trump
Nah I wanna see Kanye in the office
With no secretary gossip
You know hes on some boss sh**
Thats always been my hypothesis
Finally a leader who f**ing competent
I like someone reckless who doesn't care about the consequence
sh**, Saint was probably born cause he couldn't be bothered asking Kim where the condoms went
Should't be dissing all these fake homies
But I ain't ever keeping it anonymous
Receiving major hate, you know we receiving a lot of it
But I guess that I'll admit
It's cause Chandra and I produce the hottest sh**
Oath to a modest b**h, but you crazy as f**
Wondering what I'm up to, pulling some reconnaissance
I ain't really ever thought of this
But when it comes to girls I've always been pretty blind with it, But when it comes to the beat I've been the sickest like I have some f**ing sinuses
I'm on a creative wave and I guess I'm gonna keep riding it, Reading the rap bible I just want to f**ing write in it
Or at least f**ing die with it
(Verse 2)
Last night I had a bad dream
Like I've stopped moving forward in this maad scene
At the party on the floor, call me a taxi
sh** I don't remember that night why the f** you ask me
I've been known for brutal honesty
But imma k** this sh** like it was my last beat
Tyrone and I collab, thats everyones f**ing fantasy
Won't stop rising until we reach the f**ing canopy
I ain't had the best cards but I dealt with what was handed to me
Ever since the womb, my lifes been insanity
Trying to pave my own, don't care who's really mad at me
So I'll be happy when I'm 28 and i got that 9th spot
Jump 2pac up to 2, and put first up with kdot
I'm just moving forward I ain't ever gonna look back again
If you f**ed me over, stop pretending that it was an accident, These hoes and fake homies give me a headache so hand me another aspirin
I really don't want to ask again
I want to keep flowing cause I feel as though all my rhymes are inadequate
Until I get world recognition I cannot quit, good guy turned bad, Call me Anakin
Still the sickest like I'm just releasing hallogens
That's just my detailed an*lysis
I've been crafting my art until my hands got callouses
But its christmas so tonight lets just smoke cannabis
No one else produces any fire, so to stay warm I had to bring a heat pack
Goddamn it J Cole bring the f**ing beat back
Father forgive me for my childish habits
I'd k** this beat if Tboy let me, but he ain't hire an a**a**in
But listen to his fire, your seat belts you should fasten
I appeal to the ma**es
To rap and nicotine Tyrone and I have always been addicts
I've been pa**ionate since to pimp a bu*terfly
Determined to be realer than every other privileged guy
And I don't say the n word cause I'm not black and I'm not living another lie
But we were both were slaves to the white man, we ain't so different you and I
Man ain't this something, this collab sh** is what I'm loving, Teezus and I 2k16 just be buzzing
Sorry not sorry to past girls I won't be hugging
Avoiding the drama
Cause we all just Rose right above it
Put me in the court, ya'll know that I want to sub in
Coming to you from a Tale of 2 different Cousinz
