Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm transforming to a better version
Looking back, it was well worth it
Unbeatable, most powerful, I'm much better that's undeniable
Your skillset unreliable, by all means do what I gotta do
Upgraded, I'm unstoppable, new me, nothing's impossible
[Verse 2]
Go harder, so I go farther
Competition gotta' get slaughtered
Get it from my Pops, I'm a big baller
Just wait 'til I'm an inch taller
I'ma destroy all the competition, even if it's you on the opposition
Gotta' be great by any means no I don't regret it, it was my decision
[PreChorus]
I'm a silent killer, like Kahwhi Leonard
Then I make the loot to go and buy me dinner
It's my instinct, I was born a winner
It's my instinct, I was born a winner
[Chorus]
They just mad, we're taking over
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
They just mad we're taking over
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
[Bridge]
Ah
[Bridge]
Black boots on the pavement
Beast mode like I'm out of them cages
Blacking out on occasions
Pick yo' chin up, why you all in amazement?
I can see it in your faces, you never wanted us here in your spaces
Yep, you mad, wild boys taking over the nation
[Verse 3]
They really mad cause we hundred percent
Put up your walls and we hoppin' the fence
Take off the filter and took off the tints
So you can see exactly who you are against
[Chorus]
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
They just mad we're taking over
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
[Verse 4]
I strive for greatness for my elation
No foul play, that's a violation
Plus, I may change an entire nation
But the competition, ain't accommodating
Top five, put me in the conversation
Better yet, top too, not two
Here's a different angle I'm obtuse
Got more skill knock your sock lose
I just win, will not lose
With the best at it, let the critics choose
Boy, I been a man since middle school
I'm a born leader, I'm the general
[Refrain]
They just mad we're taking over
[Chorus]
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
They just mad we're taking over
You want it bad, I want it more
Sorry, I had to settle the score
