Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah, ****, it's me again
I'm still around, I guess I win
You hear me in your sister's room like all the time
Gambino girl forever on that bracelet that she bought online
To dudes who couldn't take it, might I say, "Hasta luego"
'Cause I'm takin' o'er your city like I'm Carmen Sandiego
I'm smokin', I'm on fire
I am blazin', don't get hurt
To my white dudes, it's a concert
To my black nerds, this is church
[Verse 2]
From that NYU dorm to the Emory
Everyone hated me
I'm more hip hop than you'll ever be
I'm bustin', bustin', bustin', I'm bustin' on these ****, man
And nothin', nothin', nothin', n-nothin' is the same again
You lookin' dumb as hell man, forever sleepin' on him
Your girl is not around, she busy sleepin' on him
Will he fail?
Now that's the wrong conversation
Terry Gross on the mic, I'm the talk of that nation
[Verse 3]
Ay, what it do bitch?
Why these other rappers do shit stupid?
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
Ay (Ay) what it do bitch?
Why these other rappers do shit stupid?
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
Ay
[Verse 4]
New shit
You didn't know?
Black rock like a fuckin' Lost episode
Somethin' for these black kids to call they own
So when you skatin' in your driveway, you not alone
She stay down like that new coat that I bought her
And the fly Rihanna girls, they drinkin' my coconut water
And I'm lookin' at her butt
That's that twenty, twenty hindsight
My shit be Jackson, Jordan, Bolton, Keaton, Tyson, five Mikes
[Verse 5]
Donald Glover, no relation
Always workin', no vacation
They couldn't feel me, novocation
Murder verses the only motive was motivation
Money equals freedom, I wanted this since a three-year-old
I seen it all, like I'm John Mayer's penis hole
Bein' me, that's somethin' that's so unusual
I've seen the future and the future go
[Verse 6]
Ay, what it do bitch?
Why these other rappers do shit stupid?
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
Ay (Ay) what it do bitch?
Why these other rappers do shit stupid?
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
While they be sleepin', I be onto that new shit
Ay
New shit
[Verse 7]
Can't you hear me, baby?
Can't you hear me callin' out your name?
Can't you hear me, baby?
Oh, can't you hear me callin' out your name?
