Steady Long, Study Long
Ayy, y'all close that front door, y'all let flies in this motherโ
Close that door
My OG up in this motherโ right now
My pops man with the bottle of Hennessy over there
Actin' a fool
Ayy, baby, check it out, I'ma tell you what my mama had said
She like
I can spot you a mile away
I can see your insecurities written all on your face
So predictable, your words, I know what you're gonna say
Who you foolin'? Oh, you โuming you can just come and hang
With the homies, but your level of realness ain't the same
Circus acts only attract those that entertain
Small talk, we know that it's all talk
We live in the laugh factory every time they mention your name
Asking where the โs at to impress me
Asking where the moneybags to impress me
Say you got the burner stashed to impress me
It's all in your head, homie
Asking where the plug at to impress me
Asking where the jug at to impress me
Asking where it's at only upsets me
You sound like the Feds, homie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
And the world don't respect you, and the culture don't accept you
But you think it's all love
And the girls gon' neglect you once your parody is done
Reputation can't protect you if you never had one
Jealousy, complex, emotional, complex
Self-pity, complex, under oath, complex
The loudest one in the room, that's a complex
Let me put it back in proper context
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
Asking where the โs at to impress me
Asking where the moneybags to impress me
Say you got the burner stashed to impress me
It's all in your head, homie
Asking where the plug at to impress me
Asking where the jug at to impress me
Asking where it's at only upsets me
You sound like the Feds, homie
What do you got to offer? Tell me before we off you
Put you deep in that coffin, been allergic to talking
Been a virgin to โ, can't sell a dream in an auction
Tell me just who your boss is, these โs be fugazi
You โs be fugazi, this is for fugazi
โ โes who make habitual lyin' babies
Bless them little hearts, you can never persuade me
You can never relate me to him, to her, or that, or them
Or you, the truth, you love to bend in the back
In the bed, on the floor, that's your ho
On the couch, in her mouth, I'll be out, really though
See, loud rich โs got low money
And loud broke โs got no money
The irony behind it is so funny
And I seen it all this past year
Pass on some advice we feel
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta lie, you ain't gotta lie
You ain't gotta lie to kick it, my โ
You ain't gotta try so hard
