fire in the booth (part 3)

project mode

i'm ready to drop

always been on fire but i've never been on

inspired by ready to die

but i ain't ready to stop

why you think i put in work instead of getting a job

instead of getting courvoised

i made a drink

still under the influence of what they think

i got niggas on their square and their not masons

just illuminated chains

ever seen slaves whip

ever seen a snakes hip

with a major lazer on it

you can really make hits

you just gotta pain for it

they call it dirty money cause you've got a stain for it

only way to wash it off is when the profit ain't laundered

always had a vision it was never on sight

when there's people counting on you don't forget to count twice

even with these fiftys on me

i know jah rules

when i had a shanty on me

i was always on time

all that b tryna make beyonce queen

excuse me miss i'm just a young jay z

looking back we didn't ever really make p

ballin wasn't ballin till we got on fifa 18

ronaldo edition

a pictures worth a thousand words

now we take thousands of pictures

trends come and go

i never style for the minute

they'll teef from you when they should be crowning your wisdom

no grills

still drop gems when i speak

i don't do a lot of vids

i render the scene

they where really tryna pimp a butterfly

damn

good kid

mad city i was kendrick and tee

then i went uni

my mum needed me at home

now if i go uni i don't need a student loan

it was hard being me

i'm not an easy yout to clone

so if you bite off me

you need to chew the bone

cause this is way deeper than what you see in the flesh

they write about me in the press

i need to impress

they want to see the end of me in the ends

i'm just minding my own business

so i need to invest

looking at the stock market with a golden eye

just so i can buy bonds and then hang in shanghai

ever seen the skyfall

every damn night

with pierce brosnan

that selling man white

what we gotta do to get idris on the next one

what they gonna do when their affection don't affect us

so much food for thought i'm in a restaurant

that does humble pie

so you can get some

you don't get a lot of capital from 1xtra

when they first buy my record

it had my head spun

now the royalty checks are fit for a king

i see the queen's face so much i call her step-mum

my real mum told me never let her down

it was sink or swim

i never let her drown

i had my head above the water

now i think about the flow

i don't think about growin'

i think about growth

i'm coming of age; twenty four years old

might spend twenty four on 24k gold

i'm with twenty four niggas

that's twenty four carat magic

i'm bruno mars with the flow

got versace on the floor and medusa's head on me

no carb diet because i'm used to bread on me

they slept on me

lucky i got used to zs on me

i got fed up of having the feds on me

now i'm my own man but i know my ends got me

give the man the props so he could be himself properly

joke ting how they want to jockey me

i'm in a polo with some creed on

smelling like rocky

balboa

show me the money and i'll show up

pull up in a boat full of bitches

i'm noah

even on a tuesday

watch the club go up

but there's a party next door that's selling drinks to no-one

i might not rap for a year and do melody

i'm just tryna turn all this gas into chemistry

intimate shows where i can't perform energy

didn't know i'd be world class in assembly

guess the best moments are the ones you can't picture

and the best stories are the ones you can't insta

i had to raise the bar with the bars

now niggas buying out the bar at the bar mitzvah

i was too shallow to ever get the shalom

now i'm drinking like a boss in french; that's patron

growing up

we never had googles

we never had chromes

tell me why the fuck is my little cousin googling chromes

to the new kids playin' out

played out

never play yourself

that's nothing to play down

my background's turning into death's playground

a part of me died when it took my mates out

but i'm finally living

i'm loving this new life

running the game instead of running from blue lights

i could've done time a few times

but my new project's out now

i'm no longer the new guy
