[Intro]
First thing I think about is your tussling smile
And all the things that drive me wild

[Verse 1]
Peep this, it’s not a secret (No)
I sound so good over G-S*it (So good)
And I’m so convinced
This world, it don’t make sense (Crazy, wow)
Yeah, smile in my face, that’s the psych-out
Talk s*it behind my back, pull the knife out
Young fool, he call me old school (Damn)

But you the one hope to reach 22 (So true)
Young boo, I done lived two of you (Two of you)
Young dawg, I done lived three of y’all
So listen to a n!gga when I’m freeing y’all (Listen)
It’s no sucker s*it when it’s me involved (None, crazy)

[Chorus]
Understand I am not like them
Chew ’em up, spit ’em out like phlegm (Crazy)
And I’m so convinced (What?)
This world, it don’t make sense

[Verse 2]
Back to the future, It’s a crisis
Controlled by these hand devices
Smartphone equal dum-domes
Done forgot how to make my way back home
Ain’t that a b!tch?
Which way we going, huh?
Do you remember my phone? I forgot
We fish, call internet (Damn)
So let’s blow up the internet (Boom)
It’s artificial intelligence (Fake s*it)
That make people irrelevant
N!ggas going with the devil wind

But Cube, never out my element
Keep it one thou-thou, yeah
And if you wanna bring the funk
N!ggas still down with the pow-pow
If I do it, I’ll never regret it (Never)
This world will drive you crazy if you let it (Fu*k that)

[Chorus]
And I’m so convinced (What?)
This world, it don’t make sense, yeah
Understand I am not like them (No)

[Verse 3]
I’d rather be here kicking with Kim
Every time I see them cakes
A n!gga can’t concentrate, that’s why I’m overweight
Cause I overate, wanna procreate
Let’s glide on this beat like roller skates, baby (Yeah, huh)
Understand I am not like them
My cup runneth over past the rim
Check out my melody, like Rakim
It’s not a felony chasing my celery
Fu*k what you telling me, I’ma live heavenly, yeah
Do this s*it till I’m 70
Do this s*it till I’m 90
And I still got the homie Mr. Dub C, that’s my crimee
You in the foxhole with the vets (That’s right)
Living life with no regrets, yeah

[Chorus]
Understand I am not like them (No)
Chew ’em up, spit ’em out like phlegm, yeah
(Yo) And I am so convinced
This world, it don’t make sense
