Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Load the clip in the chopper, flip the script and get Oscars
All my **** is mobsters, all my bitches is doctors
Cole World, this just the tip of the iceberg
So talk shit and taste the tip of the mossberg
[Verse 2]
Don't trip, ****, they just words
Though my words tend to sound like Proverbs
**** don't see the preachers till we dead in the hearse
Granny broke 'cause she always giving bread to the church
[Verse 3]
Now pastor Mason Betha in a Lambo
And little **** holding desert eagles like they Rambo
Pumping my shit, always wonder why they fuck with my shit
I hope it's 'bout the knowledge, not about who's sucking my dick
[Verse 4]
But oh well, I'm gon' sell like I had no bail
For my chain and my piece I should've won Nobel
Ill, boy, you cold, ****, yeah I know, ****
Only young **** do it better than the old ****
[Verse 5]
Took chances, slow dance with the devil bitch
Overcoming the circumstances, we hella rich
Since you all in my business, this what I tell a bitch
If you ain't fucking me, don't fuck with me, this life on the edge
[Verse 6]
Bring dollars splurged all on embellishments
My fellowship paid, don't need to cop my fellas' shit
Scooping hoes at the party, some Cinderella shit
Smash for the hell of it, living life on the edge
[Verse 7]
Miss America, petty thoughts
Miss America, petty thoughts
Miss America, petty thoughts
Just to floss, pay any and every cost
[Verse 8]
Heavy heart as I sit in this Range counting thousands out
Am I about dollars or about change?
Am I about knowledge or about brains?
Freedom or big chains, they don't feel my pain
[Verse 9]
Blood on my sneakers, no remorse for the grievers
He played the corner like Revis, he should've had better defense
That's how I'm feeling, blood spilling, I love killing
****'ll swear that they it, this is as rare as it gets
[Verse 10]
Rap game changed, this is embarrassing shit
Bunch of bitches posing on some old Miss America shit
I was a wilder **** back on my therapist shit, moving careless as shit
In a city where **** really don't care who they hit
[Verse 11]
Who the fuck was I?
Just a young little **** tryna see the other side
Of the railroad tracks, where them scarecrows at
No brains on a **** but they'll air your back
[Verse 12]
Fuck the man, Uncle Sam, I won't sell your crack
I won't fight your wars, I won't wear your hat
I'ma pass your classes, I'ma learn your craft
I'ma fuck your daughters, I'ma burn your flag
[Verse 13]
Took chances, slow dance with the devil bitch
Overcoming the circumstances, we hella rich
Since you all in my business, this what I tell a bitch
If you ain't fucking me, don't fuck with me, this life on the edge
[Verse 14]
Bring dollars splurged all on embellishments
My fellowship paid, don't need to cop my fellas' shit
Scooping hoes at the party, some Cinderella shit
Smash for the hell of it, living life on the edge
[Verse 15]
Miss America, petty thoughts
Miss America, petty thoughts
Miss America, petty thoughts
Just to floss, pay any and every cost
[Verse 16]
Heavy heart as I sit in this Range counting thousands out
Am I about dollars or about change?
Am I about knowledge or about brains?
Freedom or big chains, they don't feel my pain
[Verse 17]
They don't feel my pain
They never feel my pain
And they'll never play this shit on the radio
