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
