Drumwork

Yeah
Daringer
Uh, look

I was the most overlooked
Now I'm the most noticed, hope it's noted this how real niggas supposed to look
My verse is like an open book
About my life and the niggas I shot and all the dope I cooked
Take it off the stove, don't let it overcook
You gettin' smoked, you put a hand on me
Shots run it down even if he had a broken foot
All through COVID, we still sold it by the boatload to push
Pandemic got you niggas hurtin', ain't no shows to book
Nigga, ain't no backends to collect
We shot at niggas back then, the MAC-10 was the sk?t
Smart with my money now, I tend to invest
OG told m? keep them feelings in your chest, just kill 'em with your success
They gon' be sick when they vision your neck
Them pieces with the emerald sets, one-eighty for the AP with the baguettes
Got my bitches on my neck like I'm Swae Lee, signed to Shady, then hit the connect
And you know what I did with the check, my nigga
And you know what I did with the check
Ayo, I went and got me a brick, a half a brick of some fent'
I left the kitchen a mess, I twist my wrist and I stretch
My nigga, listen, I'm blessed
I'm Russell Wilson how I wiggle through duress, nigga, picture me stressed, my nigga
All the cars and jewelry I bought myself
My OG ain't teach me how to cook a brick, I taught myself
Now I'm jumpin' out the LaFerrari, Goyard the belt
And park it right in front the May Store where all the hard was dealt
When I was goin' broke, them niggas never offered help
So fuck 'em, I did it all myself, Machine, bitch

It's 7xve with the crazy flow, I just paid my rent a couple days ago
But I still got a fence and ride Mercedes though
The one you thought won't be here, but oh yeah, I'm drummin'
That's word to Con, my mama proud of all that I'm becomin'
They askin' where did I come from, but my life been so crazy
I'm startled by the conundrum 'cause I been tryna make it
Since ninety-something, that's dumb young, send me back where I come from
Now that I'm here, I ain't goin' stupid, I'm goin' dumb-dumb
This a long way from beef ramen
So when I speak Simon says it makes sense to keep rhymin'
So when you see I, know it's a long way from Antwerp
And I been fightin' with life so long, my fuckin' hands hurt
And I decided to right my wrongs and wrote a jam first
'Cause if it jam first, they'll never kill me like a cancer
In my hood, you lie, they not surprised, it's always comin'
Found a way like, fuck it, make it nasty, put a thumb in
A city full of two-strikes, but still give advice, they like to shoot dice
And you nice, but it gets no life, I probably shoot twice

The situation is advantageous
Look, I'm at the top, that's why I had to take it
Drumwork piece, see, these diamonds is flawless
I'm grindin' regardless..
East side raised me, this shit was crazy
You see, we legends in the flesh, now's time to give us daisies, not later
