i wake up in the morning and i ask myself
should i sign this deal and broadcast myself?
court-ordered drug screen don’t pass itself
child support the royalty before i cash my check
respect for the corners
got foreign dialects for detective and warrant squads
before they even know me
i’m sitting on that brick wall
denzel or tony, ma?
he outta pocket
this is not his environment
and they don’t like the product
but everybody buying it from him
even after i trimmed back the cut in mine
with a plate of food
it’s suppertime
stay hating on ya dude
but i don’t use the word blatant
the curb did the making now i’m here preferred placement
am i deserving your hatred?
probably
you ain’t never learned the basics
me and woo in the spaceship
pass me the blunt over the ave
and smoke til we got to dating
and passed it back...
that’s jurassic rap we’re making
(ohhhh baaaby
you’re loooooosing me)
