  • Yeah (Yeah)
    Yeah, nigga (One two, one two, one)
    The Off-Season (One two, one two, one two, one)
    The Off-Season, nigga
    We off of niggas (Ayy, that's right)
    Fuck you talkin' 'bout? (That's right, ayy)
    Off of niggas (Yeah, hey, yeah)
    (Vocal up a little more, hey)

    Uh, applying pressure
    Started my grind where crime festers
    And now it's showing like they in they second trimesters (Pregnant)
    That's why when nigga's throw a shot or two online
    I pay no mind to their benign gestures (Mm)
    Nigga, please, I got my mind on much bigger things to say the least
    My latest beat just sound like they was released by David East (What up East?)
    Verses hit hard, never pitched hard or played the streets
    These niggas whips hard, behind closed doors, can't pay the lease (Uh)
    Ain't nothin' wrong with livin' check to check 'cause most have to (I understand that)
    Instead of cappin', why don't you talk about being a broke rapper? (I don't understand that)
    That's a perspective I respect because it's real
    What it's like to be nice as fuck but got to stress to pay the bills
    That was me in '08, seein' no cake
    Not even on dates or celebrated my birth
    Just did the mental math and calculated my worth
    Shit crazy, didn't know I got more M's than a real Slim Shady video
    (How many of us in here?)
    Big Boss, less Rick Ross, more like a wavy Hideo
    Kojima, they tote steamers around the way we tippy-toe
    'Round crack vials and cold-blooded killers, no reptiles
    Just projectiles, from niggas salty you rockin' the fresher textiles
    I seen best pals grow up and switch (I hate to see it)
    Sometimes over a couple dollars, more often over a bitch (Ah, I hate to see it)
    I can cap and say that I never scratched my jealousy's itch
    But thank God I conquered that 'cause if not I'd never be rich
    Envy, keep your pockets empty, so just focus on you
    If you broke and clownin' a millionaire, the joke is on you
    Money ain't everything, I never say that (Never)
    But niggas throw stones knowin' they sell soul to get wherever they at (Come on, man)
    Just know these verses is some shit they gon' forever playback, nigga (Come on, nigga)

    Hell yeah (Ooh)
    Fuck, you know what it is nigga
    Don't even dare
    Niggas try to act like they don't—, bitch
    That's why I gotta flex sometimes
    'Cause niggas just try to act like you just not that motherfuckin' nigga like
    Like you just really don't do it how you do it
    Like niggas will really try to act like you don't do what you do
    Nigga look you dead in your face
    And really act like you don't do it to the level that you do it
    That's why sometimes you gotta come through
    And just do it at the level that you do it in front of every nigga face
    So they know the difference between you, the real niggas
    And the mothafuckin' fraudulent niggas, man
    Don't never get it fucked up
    If a nigga can't do it like you do it
    Sometimes you gotta do it in front of his fuckin' face so he'll know forever
    Damn, that nigga did it how I always wanted to do it
    And I'll never be able to do it like that
    Bitch it's a difference (Ah)
    (These are the same ones telling our people what we are
    And we aren't because we're just not working hard enough
    And that mentality is what we're up against today
    But this is good to know because this time, when we march on the Capitol
    You can go ahead and let 'em know long before we get there
    We're coming to get that check)
