Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the way
Minus sign **** in the way
In the way
Minus sign **** in the way
Yeah
In the way
Minus sign **** in the way
In the way
Minus sign **** in the way
[Verse 2]
But they will not get nothin' off
In the way
(Minus sign **** in the way)
They will not get nothin' off
In the way
(Minus sign **** in the way)
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
[Verse 3]
It's funny to watch 'em
Their attempt at blocking
But they will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
He's watching me
(Minus sign **** in the way)
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
The stars will keep falling like asteroids
We ballin', so
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way) (Minus sign **** in the way)
Watchin' me
[Verse 4]
If ain't a half a million in the face (In the face)
As far as I'm concerned, It's in the way (In the way)
If it ain't a half a million when you race (When you race)
As far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (It's in the way)
If you're good, we're good, not great (In the way)
[Verse 5]
As far as I'm concerned, it's in the way
No Rimowa I'm on a G5 plane
As far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (It's in the way)
You can't fall back asleep once you awake (Once you awake)
As far as I'm concerned, It's in the way (In the way)
You ain't supposed to worry 'bout it when you pray (When you pray)
As far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (It's in the way)
If what you doin' don't help you elevate
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (It's in the way)
If you don't share the culture, you shouldn't play (When you play)
Far as I'm concerned, it's in the way (Hey)
[Verse 6]
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
It's funny too watch 'em
Their attempt at blocking
But they will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
He's watching me
(Minus sign **** in the way)
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
The stars will keep falling like asteroids
We ballin', so
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
Watchin' me
(Minus sign **** in the way)
[Verse 7]
I was down bad
Then my life switched (Then my life switched)
What a crisis
My black Seville with no liscence (No license)
I was lifeless, I was dead weight I was trifilin' (I was trifilin')
Then my eye twitched, and my head shook
And my fist balled
And my right wrist
Took a risk for it
[Verse 8]
Saw lightening that made titans (I was triflin')
With a pitch fork
We ate your food
That got you bent more
With excitement
Big boys in my neckpiece
VVS be fighting
Move fast like loose Jazz
[Verse 9]
I gotta race the world and be vibrant
No plates on my scrape, yeah, that's mando'
Massaging the handle, left hand on the candle, huh
I'm too high profile to drive Lambo'
That there is a scandal
That man, grab a handful
Ugh, never in love (Easy)
Better pull up (Beep, beep)
I got a thing for her
[Verse 10]
I wanna fuck (Freaky)
Fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuck it up, fuck it up
Fuckin' it up (Easy)
I got a thing for her
[Verse 11]
I mean, I get you **** out the way
Right now, today, you say so
Take the safe and dock the pay
I'm aimin' for the case closed
Operate, then make the play
I move on 'em for escro
Holdin' weight since Section 8
That's on my day to day though
[Verse 12]
Mad man, don't shake hand, he pop shit
(Out the way)
She stargaze all through the cosmic
(Out the way)
Amped up we blew out the metropolis
(Out the way)
[Verse 13]
And I've been too involved (Out the way)
And I got tens on call (Out the way)
And you pretend you ball (Huh) (Out the way)
I'ma do this for my dog
You need a life jacket
Throw you in the deep end
Then start my target practice
Never been loved (Easy)
Better pull up (Beep beep)
I got a thing for it
[Verse 14]
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
Yeah, all that they talking is blessing blocking
So, they will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
He's watching me
(Minus sign **** in the way)
They will not get nothin' off
(In the way)
That bulletproof aura, knowin' God is for you
So, they will not get nothing off (Ooh, yeah, yeah)
Watchin' me
(Minus sign **** in the way)
