Yes lord, yeah

Tried to tell niggas, in 2012, nigga

Working hand to hand and no avail

Volume one was too heavy for you frail niggas

So I got leaned like codeine and pills

It's the visionary, in the vintage Chevy

It's been a while but wow you still care

Free Nash 'til they pass out obituaries

In bold caps, "your bitch-ass was not there"

And I can do anything but move backwards

The hardest thing is to keep from being distracted

My big sister still claiming me on them taxes

Tell Uncle Sam I just need a second to add this

Gave my momma ten racks

And she packed and went to Chumash with it

Quadruple the worth and give me half of it

Half of it I took in the back of the air mattress

A quarter stash was stashed in a box with the Air Maxes

The rest got lost in Saks with my wifey, no BM

Whack niggas dropping links in my DM

Bad bitches up and down a nigga TL

I'm glad that you finally made it to the future but you're late

And the price is through the muthafuckin' roof

If you want you could wait outside the building

I ain't takin' no more meetings

Stepped in the waters

The water was cold

Chilled my body

But not in my soul

I bring you greetings from the first church of Boom Baptists

United Fellowship of Free Nationals

Residing pastor is thy .Paak

And the first lady is a bad bitch

With slanted eyelids and thick ass

Sunglasses, Martin Luther King fan for you bitch niggas

Sweating on my Patent Leathers

Pressure turned their feather weight into a Cinderella

I ain't seen the ground in days since I grew propellers

We'll do one better

Word to the liquor that killed my grandpa liver

I know you finally look proud, a nigga smiling

To every hundred niggas that came and gone missing

Only a handful will go the distance

I swear I seen this shit coming as if I was living up under the plumbing

While niggas was riffing and mumbling 'bout, what they could do

I was cooking gumbo whipping the voodoo

I was in the jungle running with Zulu's

We was looking past the struggle while life was moving so fast

You had to be sharp as a Ginsu

To the top of the food group

Doing what I want and how I should too

Stepped in the waters

The water was cold

Chilled my body

But it didn't touch my soul

Stepped in the waters

The water was cold

Chilled my body

But it didn't touch my soul

Ladies in gentlemen, the most fantastic day in history

Would you boys mind explaining the cause

Of what made this great park go underneath this hood
