Lyrics
[Chorus]
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
Going up in flames
[Verse 1]
Anyway, lil' ****, don't test the kid
Even Maury Povich couldn't test the kid
Even R. Kelly couldn't touch the kid
And even with all your bars, you couldn't text the kid
I got a pool that I never even swim in
Airports that you bitches never land in
They be like what you doing Nicki? Branding
Suck a cockpit, prepare for landing
I'm branding, I ain't talking about Presley
I keep a sniper, I ain't talking about Wesley
Why these bitches so pressed, B?
Open my trunk, all I gotta do is press B
I'ma violate y'all asses like Chris Stokes
I'm in Saint-Tropez on a big boat
On my way to make a billi' like a big goat
Pull my dick out, case you bitches get a slick throat
[Chorus]
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
Going up in flames
[Verse 2]
Won another round, well, then get the ref'
Got the clothing line popping and the wigs is next
When I fly, you know G5 is the jet
I'm the motherfuckin' Queen, 'lizabeth
Meetings with the president of every network
That is what the fuck I call how to network
My net worth, that net works
Keep my shooters out in Brooklyn where the Nets work
Chilling with executives
Check the charts, all my winnings are consecutive
Trillion dollar deficit
But y'all don't hear me though, all you bitches deaf as shit
Bi-bitches ain't got punchlines or flow
I have both and an empire also
Sellout shows out in Norway, Oslo
This is the re-up, better cop it while the cost low
Fl-flow's sick, I-I'll slap a patient
I'm checking these bitches like an application
'Cause these bitches tripping, no navigation
So it's off with your head, decapitation
S-s-s-send 'em up in flames like a fireman
I do the hiring and I do the firing
That boss shit that you talk, I live it
And I'm calling a travel if you don't stay on your pivot, bitches
[Chorus]
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
We are going up in flames
One more night for us to burn brighter
We are going up in flames
One last time for us to go higher
Going up in flames
