Funny how niggas tend to believe more than what happened
I mean, really, do we look like Inglorious Bastards? (Come and lift me up) Lena Waithe told me I was the black Brad Pitt I wasn´t too fond of that title, flatterin´ as it is I mean, really though, that´s what you think of my rep? That´s what they sayin´ ´bout me, quiet as kept? Like I just go from one star to another star Like I´m drawin´ out a constellation or Go from one ho to another, like I´m shootin´ par That ain´t me at all I really had to stop what I was doin´ and start retracin´ my steps And had to break some cycles Sometimes you don´t always win it as much as you´d like to But they can´t see you out here panickin´
You can´t expect it to change, doin´ the same, that´s insanity They catch me on the Canon, movin´ candidly And even though I´m out the frame, they pan to me But I´m so on, that I´m well off I only ever fell back, not fell off Fuck it, it´s just a different cycle (Oh) Sometimes you gotta go through a different cycle
Cycle, cycle Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard? That ain´t even the half of it, nigga, I´m on a different cycle Ooh, come and lift me up I´m sayin´ (Oh, yeah) How about instead of tearin´ me down, you (Come and lift me up)
Yeah, how ´bout that? (Ooh)
Look, I got trauma that I haven´t dealt with I got feelings that I haven´t gelled with I got a lot of girls that wanna get up and meet And have a conversation with me, after they melt quick But I can´t do that to my baby, I´m too solid (Mmm-hmm) I mean, so solid, to the point, huh, that my homeboy is The Rock Shit, you thrivin´ over gossip, you the type to lose faith and stop it I´m climin´ the mountain, even if I can´t see the top of it Livin´ the highs, thrivin´ the lows Understand that´s a whole different control
I done hit, baby, that´s mission control Ulterior motives that´s gettin´ exposed Not enough money to give ´em my soul I set the standards, you live up to those Life speakin´ through me, it´s not morse code I cut you off, ´cause I´m really that cold Tryin´ to go stone cold on me, but I´m hot American dollar crashin´ out, but I´m not This that prime time, baby, I´m in that time slot Comin´ to you live, swear these niggas is dyin´ to watch So fuckin´ busy, she can´t tell if I´m lyin´ or not I just got to get this shit, I´m on a different cycle
Ooh, come and lift me up
Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard? That ain´t even the half of it, nigga, I´m on a different cycle How about instead of tearin´ me down, you (Come and lift me up) Oh, God (How?)
Ayy, ayy, I went and bought my Mama a Benz´ And then I bought myself one and she like "Look, we twins" Nice watch, baby boy, but watch how you spend And make sure that it´s a write-off, I just wanna see you right off And before you leave that mansion, make sure you cut the lights off Mama, I know, like I don´t work for every dollar of my own
She know I got the heart of Joe and the mind of Mildred And the rest of the OG´s that´s woven all through my soul In spirit, fuck it, I had to break the cycle
Break the cycle of us thinkin´ we don´t have enough, you know? Livin´ in the illusion of scarcity She never got her Chanel, but I broke the cycle Yeah, and I had to get her a red one, ´cause she a delta And she used to be a flight attendant on Delta, for real I´m a grown man, but I had to break the cycle Yes, I did, yeah I said I´m a grown man, break the cycle
Yo, what´s up, my brother? Great to hear from you, man So a few things, most importantly, uh, that sounds amazing Your baby boy´s nine months old and thriving And I´m sure that you´re an inspired artist to begin with Like right out of the gates But I´m sure holding your baby boy Gives you a whole new perspective on this new evolution Of what inspiration means, right? So I´m sure, man, I´m sure your motivation and inspiration Is through the roof every time you hold your baby boy
And what´s cool is your baby boy at nine months Is already almost bigger than Kevin Hart So, so that´s really cool, haha Alright, my brother, love you, man And I´m so happy for you, man, can´t wait to see your baby boy Okay, bye
