Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Alright
Uh, uh, uh
[Verse 2]
Good grief, I been reaping what I sowed
****, I ain't been outside in a minute
I been livin' what I wrote
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these ****
Momma taught me how to read 'em when I look
Miss me at the precinct getting booked
Fishy **** stick to eatin' off a hooks
Say you eatin' but we see you gettin' cooked, ****
I don't act hard, I'm a hard act to follow, ****
Like it or not, when it drops, bet he gotta listen
Chasin' dragons, tryna make it happen, on a mission
Step into the shadows, we could talk addiction
When it's harmful where you going
And the part of you that know it
Don't give a fuck, pardon me for going into details
Three-seven-six was a brothel
We had females coming ever hour on the dot
And the shit sound like a gavel when it knock
Focus on my chatter, ain't as frantic as my thoughts
Lately I've been panicking a lot
Feeling like I'm stranded in a mob
Scrambling for Xanax out the canister to pop
Never getting outta hand, steady handling my job
Time damaging my ties
Who turn to get up?
Get dude
Turned to dinner quick you circus ****
You turning into tricks
I was making waves, you was surfing in 'em
Dealin' with the stomach pains just from birthin' ****'s shit
Cut the grass off the surface
Pray the lawnmower blade catch the back of a serpent **** shit
Bitch
[Verse 3]
Good grief, I been reaping what I sowed
****, I ain't been outside in a minute
I been livin' what I wrote (Yeah)
And all I see is snakes in the eyes of these ****
Momma taught me how to read 'em when I look
Miss me at the precinct getting booked
Fishy **** stick to eatin' off a hooks
Say you eatin' but we see you gettin' cooked, ****
[Verse 4]
My fleeting thoughts on a leash
For the moment, high as fuck
I've been alone in my shit for the longest
Snakes slidin' in the street
Mama taught me how to not be like the bodies lyin' in 'em
Pigs ridin' in 'em
I'm a target so it's hard to even eye me in 'em
If he ain't dyin' for me, then I ain't ridin' with him
There's no time for that
Making sure my man wallet's straight like a collar
When you iron that
Thinkin' 'bout my grandmama, find a bottle
I'ma wallow when I lie in that
I just want my time and my mind intact
When they both gone, you can't buy 'em back
