[Benny the Butcher] Ah The Butcher comin´, nigga Yo
[Benny the Butcher] I been sellin´ dreams to sleepers, nigga Tell the truth, that´s the perfect business ´Cause in the drought, I was payin´ double For some work that wasn´t even worth the ticket Plate scrapers, went to work to get it Check my bank statements, probably hurt your feelings How I´m in every verse admittin´ How I work a kitchen like it´s Church´s Chicken What you know about takin´ bags ´Cross state on a half a tank of gas? The first around ain´t a workaround
You gotta hit it twice just to make it last Take a quarter, you make a quarter Put that together, that´ll make a half When the coke come pressed, it´s Matter fact, I ain´t tellin´ niggas shit Who are these niggas? I think they all overrated, I think they all are outdated I´m independent but they think that I´m signed to Shady ´cause my jewelry look like I made it Just got a house, I need a brand new Mercedes, we kickin´ ass like DaBaby I´m on the grind, I´ll link with the plugs that I met one more time if these labels don´t pay me, uh
[India] I remember when I first told my father who I was dealin´ with
I´m like, I told him I was dealin´ with Benny He was like, "Benny from Montana?" He was like, "Be careful with him" He was like, "That boy crazy, that´s the H block"
[Benny the Butcher] I ran off the deep end Kicked out my mama house, came back carryin´ things in I´m careful ´cause they give you five for a robbery But they buryin´ kingpins The real trenches War with the Feds, nigga, and I´m talkin´ real business For Duffle, was plea to a 20 They forced him to trial, he came back on appeal sentence
These investigations current, nigga, them wiretaps got me playin´ it safe Ask Earl Howard ´bout it if you think I´m frontin´ ´bout that 20 grand a day This the only block on the East side Where the dope shooters all come and get it Quarterbackin´ plays from a kitchen How an honor student gon´ become a chemist? At my mom crib havin´ flashbacks Ten guns on me like I´m Mad Max Put the team on with the last batch But you niggas never gon´ be half that On the road to riches or jail bars With some niggas that I´ll burn in Hell for I was feelin´ like the cards was dealt wrong Got my money up and put myself on, motherfucker
[India]
Sure enough, a few months later It was like 7:30 in the morning I heard some loud bangin´ at the door Benny went to the window and said, "Bae, it´s the police" I swear my heart dropped
[Benny the Butcher] Yo, uh Daydreamin´ ´bout my past Zonin´ while I´m drivin´, hopin´ I don´t crash Loyal ´cause you feed ´em, that´ll only last Long as I´m ballin´, Bulls vs. the Jazz And before you niggas ever got some cash I could put 200 grams on every half That´s another twenty if you do the math Carry zeroes over every time I add West signed a deal, nigga, I was glad
Got me out the hood, I was down bad Still owe my plug for another half Every time you bring my name up, he get mad Then I turned my flip phone to a stash Six figures, legal money, that ain´t bad Three-time felon, now I run a business Every plug I ever met, I made ´em cash ´Fore I rode a tour bus, made a fork jump Thirty bands on me, made me sag I can turn your front door to a drug store Make any kitchen to a lab Man, I hear these drug stories and I laugh Talkin´ ´bout the coke sales they never had Pull up on a nigga, you gon´ know the pad Only house with a Bentley on the grass
[ India] But everything is different now
Everything is legal, Benny doin´ what he love to do I don´t gotta worry ´bout no more police kickin´ in our doors Our life is good
