Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The ghetto Othello, the Moor
Oh my God, they speak venomous on the boy
Oh my Lord, my enemy is fear and I'm sure
Oh my God, they want the end of me 'cause I'm pure
Oh my Lord, discipline for the win, I just go for it
It's a trend for these men to die on their own sword
Journey far, learn who you can be
But you could learn who you are when you're around family
Chip off the shoulders of soldiers on their grizzle
My granddaddy Mack Little married Nannie Little
They passed down wisdom, blessings were given
Pray my sins don't get passed to my children
I made a killing
[Verse 2]
I'm alive like the morning star
Court Jordans for the price on stock, so what the Hornets are?
I need evaluations, I'm savvy, y'all
Eating foie gras and caviar, listen
[Chorus]
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
Yeah
Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
[Verse 3]
The ghosts of gangstas dance, chinchillas shake on the hanger
The force of this banger
Yeah, my language advanced, my cadence amazing
The voice triggers something, what is this conundrum?
The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile
Still puff the loud, it's nothing less than a quarter pound
[Verse 4]
Savage narrative, every verse that I write bursts light
Brings awareness to my personal life
After my morning walk, Havana cigar, the ganja spark
See my doctor more, sweating the sauna or the spa
Spend fifty large at the Bellagio
Spend twenty on a bad bitch I hardly know
New girl every night, two girls was every other night
Sexual addiction, gangsta tradition
They wanna fuck me, have me under their belt
Slightly offended
Yeah, that's how I felt, that's how it ended
I'm just good at existing, existing in my truth
As long as I enjoy the fruit, yeah
[Chorus]
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
Yeah
Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
[Verse 5]
What come first, peace or the paper?
Before I had a piece of paper, peace was in my favor
Before I sat to eat at the table, it had leeches and traitors
Cut the fat from the meat, extract the weak
Bon appétit, no bacon
Brothers is swine, it's so hard to trust 'em
'Cause my hustle is mine
It's evident they're all the same
With gray hair and still mean mugging
Gray hairs of wisdom, that means you've seen something
Say something
[Verse 6]
You stay fronting, but these clowns got false crowns
Fictitional kings
You broke my heart, Fredo
You bring this thing of ours down to a fable
Be advised my guys dine, enterprising at the boss's table
There's always room at my table
Insecurities is keeping you disabled
All this money to get, is it less time?
They ain't stopped printing money 'cause they made mine
I learned to stretch time, these are the best times
I'm in my neighborhood in stadiums, the Mets' kind
With restaurants and Carbone, spicy rigatoni
Go hard, a Red Bordeaux, oh God
[Chorus]
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
Yeah
Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve don't fall too far from the apple tree
