Okay, 2 A.M., I'm posted (I'm posted)

Dope all in my Jansport

Movin', the youth I run with

Might treat your block like a dance floor

Finesse the rent out the landlord

Mama said "Pull your pants up"

Bendin' corners and scraper, I'm loyal to 'til my bands up

I'm pushin', movin' work, improvin'

There's commas on the way
C#m
Put the pussy on pedestal
Blow the medical to the face
A
It's evident on my face
G#
Rollin' heaven in my new Wraith
C#m
Declinin' the call from labels

Still grubbin' on struggle plates

All in my loins, all on my nerves
Can't get a break, but that's my snack
A
Call me Almond Joy, mama's boy

Shit, I'm hardly on, not quite broke
Off the wall, but on the border

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference
