Gimme the beat but
Don’t drop it on a bet like this
Gimme me the reason to protect all of my sentiment
Build the blocks and all I’ve put in on my percent
It’s like 50, 75 if I’m feeling it
Gimme the can, I’ll be dousing every single minute
Up in kerosene, fuck the life that I’ve been living
To my knees, I don’t get why this world condemns repenting
Maybe that’s the only thing to keep us all from spinning
Tonight, I’ll be quick to remember that I’ve lived two lives
Not talking bout a disguise, just a revise on my old ways
You got me thinking back
I spent up half my fuckin paycheck
On some cigarettes
you see me driving, don’t expect that I’ma stop to chat
And it’s been nothing but the pain since 1996
Became feral for the melodies I came to miss
And to redeem myself, I lost myself in drugs in bliss
Playing the chords of all the people that I represent
And God my hands have been so tied, I gotta live for something
Don’t talk back, watch you go missing or something
Unless my ears ain’t got no music, don’t go bitching to nothing
Everybody wanna flex, but ain’t shit in the front
I hit lift off, pays off to be the one
Who they all wanna flock to
Walk to
Put a little sauce in my bottle
Now they thinking that I got what they after
Guess it’s cool to be lost
Gimme the beat but
Don’t drop it on a bet like this
Gimme me the reason to protect all of my sentiment
Build the blocks and all I’ve put in on my percent
It’s like 50, 75 if I’m feeling it
Gimme the can, I’ll be dousing every single minute
Up in kerosene, fuck the life that I’ve been living
To my knees, I don’t get why this world condemns repenting
Maybe that’s the only thing to keep us all from spinning
Tonight, I’ll be quick to remember that I’ve lived two lives
Not talking bout a disguise, just a revise on my old ways
And I’m about that
I ain’t scared to speak for those who may have fallen off track
But they still laugh at me
Like I said I got some shit to change the world in my backpack
Who knows, maybe I’ll figure it out
The golden child
But I’m frozen now
With a younger crowd lookin over my shoulder
Gimme the beat but
Don’t drop it on a bet like this
Gimme me the reason to protect all of my sentiment
Build the blocks and all I’ve put in on my percent
It’s like 50, 75 if I’m feeling it
Gimme the can, I’ll be dousing every single minute
Up in kerosene, fuck the life that I’ve been living
To my knees, I don’t get why this world condemns repenting
Maybe that’s the only thing to keep us all from spinning

Step up to the Godless, I’ve lost him
No effort, he a good liar, but a bad con
So I Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Nissan, with the plates gone, he been too drunk
No remorse for the people he turned his back on
So I Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Roses in the back, takin my time, lost in this moment
Remember it was all just a reminder, no losing focus
Of a lost cause, keep a picture of my good side
With my arms tucked cause I’m better than the fist fights
You have not been who I fantasized in a past life
Ain’t an angel, but I think I need to get my fucking wing size up
So I trust bad guys
Step up to the Godless, I’ve lost him
No effort, he a good liar, but a bad con
So I Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Nissan, with the plates gone, he been too drunk
No remorse for the people he turned his back on
So I Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Baseless in your attitude
You ain’t got shit
Warm me up with your charisma, sick of it
It’s like we’ve been eating at a table for two
But I’m on the plate, your ego, the other booth
And you just got the check, so I’ma dip
It’s too much strategy, my people lookin at me
Wondering what the fuck is going on up in my head
Too much evil from this city, might as well be the dead
And it’s God giving me too many options
I thought he was curator of these auctions
Have I been so blind that my pain at the sidelines
Kicking my ass from the bench, that’s exhausting
And it’s often, I mean who’s fault is it that I haven’t learned something
From this nonsense
Watered down love, there’s nothing to put your thoughts in
Step up to the Godless, I’ve lost him
No effort, he a good liar, but a bad con
So I Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries
Leave my ties, leave my life, leave my worries

Pressed

Drop a line
I wanna talk shit
I got so much energy stored up inside my closet
I’ve been withdrawing presidents
Fat stack in my wallet
Too dope for deposits
In my brain I’m lawless
A girl stressed from day one
Told a bitch come say some
Need to work my attitude
I breathe fire like a dragon when
I get
Pressed
Can’t seem to find a way out
Who the fuck impressed now
Drove me to my limits
I might need a minute til I relax
Cause I’ve just been so pressed
40 on my shoulder
Pushing heavy for the week
St. laurent, that yves got me crawling to the sheets
I won’t spend another minute feeling no relief
Poppin another xanny
Anxious kids understand me
All this pressure bottled lifting me from underneath
Only matter of time before somebody lose their sheet
Man, this is the life, and i’ve been feeling fortunate
But I just need a minute
Pressed
Can’t seem to find a way out
Who the fuck impressed now
Drove me to my limits
I might need a minute til I relax
Cause I’ve just been so pressed
Cause I’ve just been
In the bottle, notice I gotta be sipping something
To keep my mind running
Cause you can’t ———— fuck with me, fuck with this
Pressed
Can’t seem to find a way out
Who the fuck impressed now
Drove me to my limits
I might need a minute til I relax
Cause I’ve just been so pressed

Trip on Me

Lights, run it
Body, flaunt it
Trip on me
Yeah, I ain’t watching
Most folks get it, but some don’t
I don’t got time to educate all those judgmental hoes
If they follow me, they must be liking something
If they got time to hate, at least they’re steady talking ‘bout me
If you ask me to slide, just know I hate the functions
I’ll probably dip after an hour, don’t get mad for nothing
I’m a big, bad, busy bitch
If you want something, spit it out
I’ll put you on the list
Just know I can’t make you no promises
We coexist, but I’m still alpha female
Most get lost in the details
If you charming, better own it
If you drowning, best find your place now
In my castle ’til the morning
It’s my day off, please make your way out
On a trip, on a trip
On a trip, on a trip
On a trip, on a trip
On a trip, on a trip
You know what’s lit
Better watch your lip
Don’t come around parts talking all that shit
You on a trip, on a trip
If you think that hits, you on a trip
Lights, run it
Body, flaunt it
Trip on me
Yeah, I ain’t watching
Most folks get it, but some don’t
I don’t got time to educate all those judgmental hoes
If they follow me, they must be liking something
If they got time to hate, at least they’re steady talking ‘bout me
If you ask me to slide, just know I hate the functions
I’ll probably dip after an hour, don’t get mad for nothing
I’m a big, bad, lonely bitch
Wish I had someone to love, one to cuddle with
Always grinding through my life, married to this shit,
but nowadays, I reminisce with my cigarette
Reminisce with my cigarette
Lights, run it
Body, flaunt it
Trip on me
Yeah, I ain’t watching
Most folks get it, but some don’t
I don’t got time to educate all those judgmental hoes

Down to Zero

You lost me at the “what if”
That dreaded question in the midst of all this pain,
and I’m holding to the balance
I hope you never have to show me all your strength,
and I’m counting back from 10
Please don’t be there when I get to zero
I don’t wanna say something I regret
I’m sorry for it all, I really tried to be your hero
You’ve been stuck inside my head, need a lifeline
I wish I could go back and reconcile, like minds
We got through everything together, any weather
I promise I’ma see it through, now or never
You were my blanket when the rain’s dripping on me,
and I could never go and make another story
There ain’t a person, not another baby for me,
and maybe when I’m out here done recording,
we could catch a flight, maybe spend the night
Get to talking any place, you pick a time
I just need you to know that you’ve been on mind
ever since the second we decided to break the bind
All the pleasure you gave to me quickly turned to pain,
and like I said back in the beginning of the refrain
“What if’s” are not working, it’s certain
My dear, please be there when I open the curtain
