[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh
Turn my headphones up
A little bit louder
Aight, bet

[Verse 1]
Okay, now ever since a kid I’ve been ready to get it
Need all of my dollar signs, fiending, I do admit
When I was younger used to hustle this O of mid just for a twenty
So every one of these pennies I’m pinching, I need it swiftly
Never had a handout, just the hand I was given
But they gotta hand it to me, I been handling business
Animalistic, mindset from the trenches
That’s just how it is when you immigrant living
In the city, hoodie up, I’m feeling giddy
Anxiety hit ’cause anyone could be a
My eyes flick back and forth, my vision pendulum swinging
Defenses up, I wonder what them kids and them thinking

[Chorus]
“Hip-hop this” and “Hip-hop that”
Old heads always ask where the real rap at
Kinda funny when they see the new gen start to step
It be the same bulls*it, “Just that TikTok rap”
It’s just off-top cap, just a facade act
Even though some of they favorites wear a full-on mask
Ain’t even from the same city block they (??)
Yet they still wanna say they care where hip-hop’s at

[Verse 2]
Getting sick of all your dialogues, hypocrites writing off
Lies and all dirty in my ear, I need some Lysol
Sick of all you giving your opinion, need some Tylenol
Instagram caption reading, “Real s*it is dying off”
Corny b!tch, shut your orifice up
Sorry if it wasn’t obvious, fu*k your trauma, you just bought this s*it

Stay performative, you on your moral high horse and then
Switch your stories quick, it’s the same back and forth again, b!tch
For every snake, I couldn’t let ’em win
Even if they try and chin-check me or off destiny
I ain’t beg for s*it, I did this all with blood, sweat and tears
I ain’t had to sell a single piece of my reflection, yeah
Fire in my eyes, that’s my default mood
When you from where I’m from, you gotta watch how you move
And they ask why I’m quiet cause my head on a swivel
I know that anyone’s a victim, you can’t pick or choose
I seen friend circles get ended by square b!tches
Brotherhoods end through jealousy and tensions
Seen shawties hold it down for ain’t s*it d!cks
So my empathy tainted ’bout the s*it I bear witness, motherfu*ker
