Catch This Wave (feat. T.I.)

Took them chains off 'round my feet

Put 'em back 'round my necklace

Workin' till I can't sleep no more, but that money just worth my stress

I bet you knew that though

I bet you knew that

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on

One of these days I'm gon' be, way far away so low-key

And I don't give a damn what your momma say, you fuck **** still don't know me

And I don't want to hear 'bout your bread till you rich enough to not get shot by the police

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on

We takin' them shackles off

I want the gold rings like my uncle in Saginaw

My bandwagon too heavy, I'm keepin' it steady by takin' that wagon off

Freein' myself from all the constraints, Social Media and weed

Alcohol, sex addiction and greed, it's lookin' like a new levee to me

I'm blessed up, been runnin' my check up

How you beef and you ain't never had you a life insurance or a checkup? Get your self respect up

Been drownin' in bullshit from the neck down to the neck up

And still found a way to be next up, like what, what, what, what, what?

This the new sub culture in Rap

It's called bein' real no matter what's goin' on in the trap and bein' unapologetically black, these are facts

Deleted my Waze app, usin' Only God for the maps, more facts

Meanwhile the gatekeepers in Raps only gettin' more 'laxed

We can learn from Mufasa, **** need to move faster

For they sons a new chapter, open up the Black Panther in our blood

I'm more Malcom than Martin, I'm sorry, Nat Turner and the Garvey

It's a war in our own backyard, so I ain't goin' to the Army

Took them chains off 'round my feet

Put 'em back 'round my necklace

Workin' till I can't sleep no more, but that money just worth my stress

I bet you knew that though

I bet you knew that

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on

One of these days I'm gon' be, way far away so low-key

And I don't give a damn what your momma say, you fuck **** still don't know me

And I don't want to hear 'bout your bread till you rich enough to not get shot by the police

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on

Okay, tryna make it in this muhfucker, got me ridin' dirty like the mud puddle

What's a hate crime to a fun lover?

Tear the block down while you burn rubber with the top down, motion picture shit

Make it cinematic, it done been a minute since I thought about my power implemented

For the conversation sake, let's say hypothetically

I'm as forward thinking as I can ever be

Won't be bothered by that bullshit you tellin' me

No time for back and forth, so let it be

I'm just tryna be a better me

Walk around a millionaire in prison, could a just as easy got a law degree

Could've just as easy got assassinated, 'stead it's hardly anybody else that make it

Shit, havin' money really mean shit, 'cause if you ain't have it ****, you ain't shit

I done had every ho I seen with you, boy, your whole swag magazine

Issue after issue, ****, soft as tissue, huh?

Runnin' when they come to get you, huh?

Till they catch up with you, put that ratchet on you, now I bet you see the big picture, huh?

I'm just sayin'

Like one of these days, I promise

We gonna be paid, move out of these projects, ooh, that shit to my momma

I'm just sayin'

Like one of these days, I promise

We gonna be paid, move out of these projects, ooh, that shit to my momma

Took them chains off 'round my feet

Put 'em back 'round my necklace

Workin' till I can't sleep no more, but that money just worth my stress

I bet you knew that though

I bet you knew that

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on

One of these days I'm gon' be, way far away so low-key

And I don't give a damn what your momma say, you fuck **** still don't know me

And I don't want to hear 'bout your bread till you rich enough to not get shot by the police

Can't catch this wave, can't catch this wave, not with your durag on
