lyrics

I woke up bright and early on a Thursday
Bought big sis a Basquiat for her birthday
Work hard for this shit but I play with that cash
I’m spending it quick but I make it right back
Can’t take it when you leave
We don’t build walls; we build bridges and burn trees
Politricks with these crooked policies
Out maneuver cops while hopping in and out of V’s
Fuck dying on my knees, I got children to feed
A family with wants and needs
It seems, that freedoms everything but free
Searching for inner peace, a quiet place to grow my seeds
How far will you go to satisfy your greed?
Pride will get you killed, learned that from Apollo Creed
Even Sway don’t have the answers
They’re searching for tax breaks instead of a cure for cancer
Wait, put my hands on my ex, that shit was hard to take
Flew to the Golden State, almost jumped off the Golden Gate
With my luck, shit, I’d probably make it
Come out cold and naked
I’m good, call me Michael Phelps Cakeman
Let me stop playing, I pray for patience in hopes for greatest
My palace painted, my chalice tainted from purple drankin’
My pockets caking, the block was quaking, the haters hating
My paths forsaken? The fuck you saying? I gotta make it
I shake it off, thru the lobby, break the vault
Mama call me DJ, it’s CJ from San Andreas fault
She was working late, dad overseas a couple months
Before them suits I had them bundles tucked like cummerbunds
Her only son, gifted like Christmas, the holy one
Sippin’ Arnold Palmer with my gun, now that’s a hole in one
Blam, blam, Steph Curry, it never jam
You know I had to kill the flow one time for Killa Cam
The trillest fam, I call the plug, come get your mans
Before I had an instagram I had them instant grams
Strapped with the tooley, highway to hell, I bust a uey
Mama ain’t raise no fooley magooley, bitch I’m Huey
