Verse 1
I ain’t nothing like you and I’m better for it
Blessed up
I could swear to God
God swore to me I’m next up
Why you getting mad at me
When you wore sweatpants to my show
But your women getting dressed up?
Energy was off
He was lookin’ kinda stressed, huh?
Didn’t have to say shit ‘cause he ‘fessed up
Gettin’ on stage after me is that moment that he knew
[that he what?]
That he knew that he messed up
Messed up, yeah
I’m messed up
We was turnin’ blue asking labels to accept us
Now we on the news
People getting paid to dress us
Beige God-body
Better bow when you address us
If you come at me, you better be committed
If you come at me, you better be fuckin’ terrific
Past 10 years, I been in therapy
There ain’t no fuckin word that you can rhyme with that is scaring me
Chorus (x2)
Now if you wanna do somethin’, we could do somethin’
If you wanna move somethin’, we could move somethin’
I ain’t trippin’ on no time ‘cause it’s mine now
I’m a live forever
Fuck around and find out
Verse 2
Been the dude Spirit wanna talk through
And the news is, God wanna talk shit too
If you choosing to move how I move
Then you lose
I refuse
To reduce
The abuse of your crew
So when you say something stupid, it’s cool
Because standing by the truth is something you could never do
I’m a live forever
Not even because I’m spiritual
Your rapping career the reason I believe in miracles
Chorus (x2)
Now if you wanna do somethin’, we could do somethin’
If you wanna move somethin’, we could move somethin’
I ain’t trippin’ on no time ‘cause it’s mine now
I’m a live forever
Fuck around and find out
