Lyrics
[Intro]
You don't wanna go to war with a soldier
You don't wanna go to war with a soldier
Them **** thought I was dead
You don't wanna go to war with a soldier
Them **** thought I was dead, these **** thought I was dead
You don't wanna go to war with a soldier (There's more to life than just fuckin' workin', bro)
Them **** thought I was dead
They thought I was dead
[Verse 1]
Okay, bitch, I've been trapped in a zoo
**** got plaques like the crack of a tooth
I need some space like the back of a coupe
I'm tryna magic wand, I'm tryna poof, so
Dead, I was dead, thought I was dead
Grab the blammer, fuck all the glitz and the glamour
I want a crib in Atlanta, me and my bitch changing Pampers (Brodie)
[Chorus]
Them **** thought I was dead
Them **** thought I was dead (You ain't gon' see me)
You **** thought I was dead (****, no way)
You **** thought I was dead (Turned to a ghost)
Them **** thought I was dead (I'm over this shit)
Them **** thought I was dead (I'm over this shit)
They thought I was dead, dead
[Chorus]
Them **** thought I was dead
Them **** thought I was dead
You **** thought I was dead
You **** thought I was dead
**** thought I was dead
Them **** thought I was dead
You **** thought I was dead
You **** thought I was dead
They thought I was dead
[Verse 2]
Get love in the hood, but I must leave
Boy, I'm way in the Hills, where they can't see
Swear I burned twenty Ms, 2018
Like I play for the Bills, goin' OD
They thought I was dead
**** tend to get rich, and they act weird (Weird)
How you walkin' out da party wit' cha butt pierced?
Shit, I'd rather play golf till the check clear
**** turn thirty-five, now they out here
They thought I was dead
****, Rolls or da 'Rari tryna program
I was really outside with the dope man
Now I really got Ms, ****, no chance
I don't wanna be seen in your bromance, hmm
[Bridge]
Packed in, goddamn, that dream
Never seen a **** with a fuckin' cap game
They thought I was
If a **** think he gon' get blatt-blatt-blatt-blatt me
[Chorus]
Them **** thought I was dead
Them **** thought I was dead
These **** thought I was dead
Them **** thought I was dead (And they thought I was dead)
**** thought I was dead (I was dead)
Thought I was dead, these **** thought I was dead
Dead
Them **** thought I was dead
They thought I was dead
[Bridge]
I don't wanna be found, I don't wanna be down
I don't wanna be found, I don't wanna be down
I don't wanna be found, I don't wanna be down (Oh, you know Tyler and his tone, I'm so sick of these ****, they don't know you, fuck you)
I don't wanna be found, I don't wanna be down
[Verse 3]
White boys mockin' this shit, and y'all mad at me? Y'all can suck my dick (Suck my dick)
Pull up old tweets, pull up old t-shirts, all that, I'll moonwalk over that bitch
See, T changed like the 'fit got dirty
I was young man, then a **** hit thirty
I was one mill', den a **** hit thirty, bitch, you ain't Coco Gauff, you can't serve me
Anti-what? Hmm, yeah, right
**** running their mouth, keep it airtight
I'ma crash shit out till my hair white
I got too much drive, I'm a terabyte
I got a big, old head, I ain't like these ****
Uh-uh, don't put me with these ****
I don't "haha and kiki" with these ****
It's Loiter Squad, baby, I don't be with these ****
The same boys with me since back, back then
Everything I said I'd do, I did (True story)
Talk my shit? I sho' damn will
You ain't like dat shit? I'll do it again
5 in the morn', I be hating on shit
10 in the eve', I be hating on shit
Ten years later, might've changed my mind, I'm a fake-ass bitch, don't kill me
I'm a hypocrite, ain't real, ain't really
I'm a big troll, haha, I'm silly (I'm silly)
Fuck you know about being better than the **** that you hate?
You ain't good at shit, you can't feel me
Fuck your one trick, GOAT, I'm billy
Shout out Papa, he for real
Don't test V, he pop for real (Don't bother)
Had to call him like, "Stop and chill"
Look, I try to be out the way
I like the farm with the lake, I like some truth in my space
Y'all **** friendly and fake
"That's big bro"? How, when y'all met yesterday?
This feel Planet of Apes
Why am I filled with this hate? I got freedom in every way
Y'all wanna take what I got, but y'all do not got what it takes
[Outro]
I don't wanna be found, you ho
I don't wanna be down, you ho
I don't like coming around, you ho
I will not knock-knock at your door
"Just me," that's what I said
Trav, these **** is fed
Me? I'm over here
These **** thought I was dead!
