Keep 'em on top when it's cold out
I call her pretty feet, she like to have her toes out
Got a thing for havin' a tan line, she follow the sunshine
Everything I rap be real life, I don't care for a punchline
Kinda small, but I be standin' up like a giant when it's crunch time
Yeah, yeah (crunch time)
Kinda small, but I be standin' up like a giant when it's crunch time (crunch time)
Yeah, mm
Hit up Elliot and get her some links, we rock 'til infinity
I don't care to have these women in my business, but I like your energy
Couple niggas probably felt like, "F*ck me," 'cause they can't f*ck with me
You ain't get money, you nothin' unless you stuck with me
Had a legendary run, we made heroin money off weed
I stop servin' and start rappin', them other niggas can breath now
I'm traumatized, my hand on my fire whenever I leave out
Used to think those bitches were for me, can't get a peep out me
Lately I been focused, spendin' overtime 'til I crash out
Straight drop, used to sell glass, now live in a glass house
This run from me, if you ain't a part of me, then you assed out (you assed out)
You don't gotta pour your heart out, all you need is someone solid
I promise you'll get over that shit (yeah)
I come straight up out a war-zone, I'm used to bein' scarred up
Can't lie though, that shit hurt a lil' bit (yeah)
You ain't never get your closure, now you out here movin' open
How the hell we let it come to this shit?
You know I be doin' my own thing, a foreign in the fast lane
Ain't never needed a nigga a lil' bit, yeah
You know I saved you, you wasn't nothin', I shouldn't said that
You shouldn't have made me, I seen the signs, but I still played it crazy
I iced you out and had you shinin', but you really shady
You brought it up a couple years ago, we still debatin'
We barely know each other names, how you gon' keep the baby?
I can't believe you ungrateful, I paid off your Mercedes
You came around a couple times, but we ain't never dated
I know that you was f*ckin' broke, but I ain't never say shit
The whole world can go sour on me, I'm never changin'
Locked and loaded, I'm ready to go, one in the chamber
You don't work no job, I take care of you, how you still complainin'?
Goin' on this run by myself, 'cause relationships get drainin'
Call me everything in the book, but you can't say I ain't solid
Once I block you, that mean I'm off you, don't be callin' private
Doin' better since I've been off your dark cloud
You love to see me down, but hate to see me smile
You don't gotta pour your heart out, all you need is someone solid
I promise you'll get over that shit (yeah)
I come straight up out a war-zone, I'm used to bein' scarred up
Can't lie though, that shit hurt a lil' bit (yeah)
You ain't never get your closure, now you out here movin' open
How the hell we let it come to this shit?
You know I be doin' my own thing, a foreign in the fast lane
Ain't never needed a nigga a lil' bit, yeah
