Lyrics

[Verse 1]

They can't keep a good man down

Always keep a smile when they want me to frowns

Keep the vibes and they stood my grounds

They will never ever take my crown

[Verse 2]

Who Jah bless I say no man curse

Things gettin' better when they thought it would be worse

Here comes the officers askin' for a search

They found no weapon just only a draw of herbs

[Verse 3]

One, one

One, two

One, two

Bounce

Yeah

[Verse 4]

You in the presence of a king

Scratch that, you in the presence of a God

Put in the belly of the best

I escaped, a **** never had a job

[Verse 5]

Scott Boras, you over, baby

Robinson Cano, you comin' with me

These **** like rotary phones

It's a new day, hit up KD

[Verse 6]

**** always try to knock a **** down

Knock to me to my knees about a million times

Uncle said I'll never sell a million records

I sold a million records like a million times

[Verse 7]

These **** shouldn't let me in

I ball so hard on ESPN

See my name come across on CNN

'Bout six minutes, you gonna see it again

'Bout six minutes, you gonna see me again

[Verse 8]

Shit on me, these **** tried to shit on me

I was left for dead, they tried to wipe me out of your history

Shit on me, these **** tried to shit on me

I was left for dead, they tried to wipe me out of their history

[Verse 9]

If fear is your only God

Get y'all to fear me is my only job

Crown, crown

Crown, crown

Crown, crown

[Verse 10]

Bulletproof glass, glass roof like the Pope

Bulletproof love, **** down since the yolk

Bitch asked if I was God, fuck I'm supposed to say no?

[Verse 11]

You already seen me turn a man to a G.O.A.T

You already know what I could do with the coke

Dropped it in the water, made it disappear

I made it reappear, I had that bitch on a rope

[Verse 12]

I make my roof get ghost, bottom grill

I make my tooth get gold

All the shit I did, I wasn't supposed to live, Hallelujah Hov

Wasn't for the 'caine wouldn't be able

Wasn't for the bread, probably dead

Best friends become ya enemies

****' knives are double-edged

[Verse 13]

Best friends become my enemies

****' knives are double-edged

[Verse 14]

Shit on me, these **** tried to shit on me

I was left for dead, they tried to wipe me out of your history

Shit on me, these **** tried to shit on me

I was left for dead, they tried to wipe me out of their history
