I’m on the cost pandemonium
Pick up the paper, custodian
This how Prince met Apollonia
Tryna fill up California kings
Hydrocodone with the Visine
Master bedroom on the right wing
This a Phillipe not a Breitling
F*ck her to sleep she have pipe dreams
Yeah, this is the king of the trap
Yeah, I’m pulling straight out the hat
Yeah, everyone better take cover
Yeah, got rubbas under attack
Oh, my daughters inherit arrogance
And they intelligent, that’s a fact
Bought me a car February first
You already know it was black on black
I cover my scars with the tats on tats
You better back-back rat-tat-tat-tat
I pass you a joint, better pass it back
I went to Montgomery, with packs in bags
Sent her to the store for some plastic bags
Sent her to the store for some rubber bands
I start a picture so easy
I thought it work ’til you underhand
Underworld, underground, underline
I’m underdog and you undermine
This here ain’t no once upon a time
This really happen for real
Can’t even trust our own government
Aw man f*ck all that humble shit
Man f*ck all that mumble shit
Realize
A lot of these niggas tell real lies
They not ’bout shit in real life
And that’s something that I had to realize (Realize)
I had to reco-reco-reconig-i-ize it
(Reco-reco-reconig-i-ize)
They see me winning and now they don’t like it
(Yeah, I know they don’t like it)
Act like the love me, but hate me in pri-i-vate
I had to reco-reco-reconig-i-ize it
Yo
I went and copped a ring
I call this rock Dwayne
Johnson, stop the plane
Man, I cannot complain
I left my shades in Atlanta so I told my pilot to stop the plane
He busts a U in the air
She say she doin’ it, where?
She wanna sit in my chair
But she can never be my heir
Checks, clear, Bible, swear
They bugging I go off
Asahd Khaled with the cloth
Dwayne Carter of the north
Dwyane Wade in the fourth
New dream house for mommy
Keep ‘Caiah in Armani
Putting my nieces through college
This for Kellise and Imani
Look at these niggas I put on
All of these niggas I’m good on
My own two what I stood on
That’s why they necks what I’m keeping my foot on
I’ve been winning 8 years consistently
At least respect it
Papoose wrote a Ether record
But I broke Aretha record
See this is chess, not checkers
You can not check the checkers
Did Nas clear that Ether record?
Nah, but I broke Aretha record
Realize
A lot of these niggas tell real lies
They not ’bout shit in real life
And that’s something that I had to realize (Realize)
I had to reco-reco-reconig-i-ize it
(Reco-reco-reconig-i-ize)
They see me winning and now they don’t like it
(Yeah, I know they don’t like it)
Act like the love me, but hate me in pri-i-vate
I had to reco-reco-reconig-i-ize it
