[Intro]
AmWa-ves... you say waves, I say wa-ves
AmKaepernick, waddup?
AmI knew they was gonna do that to you
AmBut it's all good, though
AmYou gotta' stand up for something, know what I'm talking about?
AmYeah, uh
[Verse 1]
AmGravitons, orbit around my halo space, halo space
AmLittle Debbie crumbs and potato flakes
CJunkyard food meets 808Ems
AmBetter say your grace
AmStay your place, play your bass
AmAnd wait on a upright
CRight up to them niggas that don't like us
EmWriter, fiber optics on high fiber
AmMove
AmQuick like that, no, I go as, "ain't shit like that"
AmMagnum entendre, rollin' on a rubber
AmHit Virgin for the alCbum, I was floatin' on the cEmover
AmI pit my car, they let a lad in
AmI was floatin' on the cover, made a message out a mess
AmGot 'em clothes up the flow and taught 'em how to dress
CMade a space so they can milk this way
EmHad 'em open up the udders
AmBroken off hat had folks in all colors
AmI wish a nigga would try and open y'all shutters
CCartier frames, Aoki on a shirt
EmAnd red and white chukkas
AmWhy you goin' all hard tho?
AmNASCAR star got bars by the carload
AmYou know LF won to come out the top
CBut for this ten I'ma just Emopen up the car door
AmAnd my deepness
AmMight spit the stash box sequence that I open up the cargo
AmIf I break it down to your lil homie, mCight get a nigga CARTO
EmYou ain't gotta worry 'bout ours tho
AmDROGAS Light, DROGAS
AmAnd I might drop SKULLS as an art show
AmK-dot wants stretch marks
CI wanna own everything that's west of the Embest parts 
AmK.R.I.T., everything from the legs down
AmMickey Factz, everything where the neck starts
AmNecklace, head heart, go, Cget set, marEmk, oh
[Hook]
AmTurn the mics up
AmLike a nigga 'round fight club
CAnd the fuzz came through to indict us
EmBut it's an inside job to decrease the supply then tuAmrn around and drive all the price up
AmI be speaking it right
AmBut it's hard to believe that peoplCe still believe that JesEmus is white
AmOh Lord, I be speaking it right
AmBut it's hard to believe tAmhat people still believe that JesuCs is white
EmAll right, all right, oh Lord
[Verse 2]
AmBut, I’m back to the mentally
AmAnd it’s not about natural ability
AmYou would think that Kaep took a shat on the StaCtue of Liberty
EmGod damn
AmIt’s like we’re trapped in a memory
AmUntrue facts where black is an injury
AmIt makes we wanna snap, just slap me an enemy
CThen go into the back and just rap Emto infinity
AmFuck, be more like Chance
AmSolo acts be more like bands
AmAdversaries be more like fans
CBDs and GDs be more likEme fam
AmI’m just vying for the summer
AmWomen lie, men lie
AmAnd everybody lie about the numbers
CHard to be smart when the only thing on your mind
EmIs dying from a thumper
AmI know I’m weird but nigga it’s real
AmBetter to hear it from a nigga like Lu
AmBefore you hear it from a nigga like Trump
CTalking to a nigga like Emyou
Oh Lord
[Hook]
AmTurn the mics up
AmLike a nigga 'round fight club
CAnd the fuzz came through to indict us
EmBut it's an inside job to decrease the supply then tuAmrn around and drive all the price up
AmI be speaking it right
AmBut it's hard to believe that peoplCe still believe that JesEmus is white
AmOh Lord, I be speaking it right
AmBut it's hard to believe tAmhat people still believe that JesuCs is white
EmAll right, all right, oh Lord

[Intro]

Wa-ves... you say waves, I say wa-ves

Kaepernick, waddup?

I knew they was gonna do that to you

But it's all good, though

You gotta' stand up for something, know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, uh

[Verse 1]

Gravitons, orbit around my halo space, halo space

Little Debbie crumbs and potato flakes

C Em

Junkyard food meets 808s

Better say your grace

Stay your place, play your bass

And wait on a upright

Right up to them niggas that don't like us

Writer, fiber optics on high fiber

Move

Quick like that, no, I go as, "ain't shit like that"

Magnum entendre, rollin' on a rubber

Am C Em

Hit Virgin for the album, I was floatin' on the cover

I pit my car, they let a lad in

I was floatin' on the cover, made a message out a mess

Got 'em clothes up the flow and taught 'em how to dress

Made a space so they can milk this way

Had 'em open up the udders

Broken off hat had folks in all colors

I wish a nigga would try and open y'all shutters

Cartier frames, Aoki on a shirt

And red and white chukkas

Why you goin' all hard tho?

NASCAR star got bars by the carload

You know LF won to come out the top

C Em

But for this ten I'ma just open up the car door

And my deepness

Might spit the stash box sequence that I open up the cargo

Am C

If I break it down to your lil homie, might get a nigga CARTO

You ain't gotta worry 'bout ours tho

DROGAS Light, DROGAS

And I might drop SKULLS as an art show

K-dot wants stretch marks

C Em

I wanna own everything that's west of the best parts

K.R.I.T., everything from the legs down

Mickey Factz, everything where the neck starts

Am C Em

Necklace, head heart, go, get set, mark, oh

[Hook]

Turn the mics up

Like a nigga 'round fight club

And the fuzz came through to indict us

Em Am

But it's an inside job to decrease the supply then turn around and drive all the price up

I be speaking it right

Am C Em

But it's hard to believe that people still believe that Jesus is white

Oh Lord, I be speaking it right

Am Am C

But it's hard to believe that people still believe that Jesus is white

All right, all right, oh Lord

[Verse 2]

But, I’m back to the mentally

And it’s not about natural ability

Am C

You would think that Kaep took a shat on the Statue of Liberty

God damn

It’s like we’re trapped in a memory

Untrue facts where black is an injury

It makes we wanna snap, just slap me an enemy

C Em

Then go into the back and just rap to infinity

Fuck, be more like Chance

Solo acts be more like bands

Adversaries be more like fans

C Em

BDs and GDs be more like fam

I’m just vying for the summer

Women lie, men lie

And everybody lie about the numbers

Hard to be smart when the only thing on your mind

Is dying from a thumper

I know I’m weird but nigga it’s real

Better to hear it from a nigga like Lu

Before you hear it from a nigga like Trump

C Em

Talking to a nigga like you

Oh Lord

[Hook]

Turn the mics up

Like a nigga 'round fight club

And the fuzz came through to indict us

Em Am

But it's an inside job to decrease the supply then turn around and drive all the price up

I be speaking it right

Am C Em

But it's hard to believe that people still believe that Jesus is white

Oh Lord, I be speaking it right

Am Am C

But it's hard to believe that people still believe that Jesus is white

All right, all right, oh Lord
