Buddha on a brown leaf, same for my coat and shoes/ gettin lifted everyday, the motto be a better youth/ so miss me with that bullshit, I bleed ink so suckers die/ everything is brand new, I’m done hanging, y’all niggas dry/ 5 years in, I done lost a ton a friends/ I done gained a lotta weight, dropped a few girls around the game/ guess I owe it the fame and all the snitching be my change/ had I known before going in, I’d jack off and never came/ seen my friend die along the way, on his way to work/ RIP to Mr D, hope u forgive me, been a jerk/ been hatin ass n*gga when I seen my n*ggas going up/ makin moves, cashin checks, yeah, In God we trust/ f**k it, I don’t wanna lose to Love/ if they call this shit crush It means there something wrong with us/ I don’t even know what’s good part from the sex that we be havin/ never loved her like I should, i want her back now she’s just frontin/
Hook
Told u I would kill it | Told u I was on fire | I was borna win u shud call young fighter | I know they gon feel it // Till the light just goes | Till the hooks stop flowin | And my life turn ghost yeah [x2] That’s the sh*t I’mma show’em | I’mma show’em until I’m Ghost
V2
They say I shine a lot/ and the people that’s around gets too shining too feeling like I’m pandora’s box/ u don’t know whatchu gon get, but u gonna get some/ u don’t know where u gon end up live it up son/ yeah I know I’m darker than the hour/ so u better get to running cause the clock is like’em owls/ keep schemin in ya back while losing focus on’em foolish things/ life is gettin wild niggas on’em higher spleens/ now they on that smack, they wanna taste the blow/ but when u talkin jobs, they own degrees but there aint no mo/ thot school was the way to Go but its 100+ on the road to make it/ they say they proud of me but where my crown African nation/ anthrax and cocaine for the haters tho/ retrosuperfuture flow,
the recipe’s original/ shout out to my cohort AKB work city/ we the future Whitney Houston told me that so I just kill it/
