You can love it, you can leave it

And say you're nothing without it

Don't let them keep you down

What if I don't need it?

There's something about it

That just freaks me out

I just want another minute with it, fuck a little, what's the use?

Never superficial you don't know it when it hit you

Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice

Yeah, okay we colder than the breeze

But the breeze ain't flowing like me, motherfucker hold up

You don't need to hold up, yeah

And I can show you how I seem what it is what it truly might be

Nothing that you know of

You don't need to hold up

I'm so above and beyond you take drugs to make it up

Way up where we on, space shuttle, Elon

Time we don't waste much, fuck when we wake up

Then have her sing just like Céline Dion

Catch me if you can but, you never catch me damn

Whole lotta "yes I am", all the way in with no exit plan

Already left and the jet don't land, yeah, the time is ticking

Come take a ride, get inside, this is highly different

I'm talking fly like a pilot would

Can I mind my business? Why you tripping?

Give you something that your eyes can witness

Ooh, too close

I don't understand why you doing the most

You can love it, you can leave it

And say you're nothing without it

Don't let them keep you down

What if I don't need it?

There's something about it

That just freaks me out

I just want another minute with it, fuck a little, what's the use?

What's the use?

Never superficial you don't know it when it hit you

Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice

Well I'mma give you what you came for, yeah

Shit, I've worked too hard to have a clue who you are

Set the bar so far above par we can parlay all day

Crib long range with the yard

I know I should probably pray more but you gotta love me

'Cuz I save the day spending money

When I had nothing shit it wasn't so funny

Made a promise to the homies nobody go hungry

Look how far we came, still they throwing dirt on my name

But it never worried my brain

Heads turning like a hurricane swerving

Tell the sun get up outta my shade

If they don't get the picture,

Cut 'em out of that frame, shit

I'm up 30 thou miles plus change

Spend a while but I'm down 'till I'm out

And it is what it is 'til it ain't

You can love it, you can leave it

And say you're nothing without it

Don't let them keep you down

What if I don't need it?

There's something about it

That just freaks me out

I just want another minute with it, fuck up little, what's the use?

What's the use?

Never superficial you don't know it when it hit you

Get a little sentimental when I'm off the juice

You can love it

It just freaks me out
