City under siege
Big bank take little bank, kids overheat
It's a million degrees
Fahrenheit at least
These sides going to war for you, better keep it responsible
Times that I afforded you, times that I was calling you
See you wanna be popular, I just wanna be comfortable
Sorry the aura bothered you, but you ain't honorable
Go unlock your phone and let your wifey come audit you
I ain't creepin' with Mona Lisa, just keeping it cordial
Found comfort in solitude, I'm silent with all the moves
You can FaceTime if you ain't watchin' who you talkin' to
This the gospel according to TOBi, I wrote the scripture
When hotheads all had they hands on the nine like it's a quarter to
These kids be whippin' leases, man, but at least it's affordable, Lord
It's like that, woah
It's like that, yeah
It's like that, woah
It's like that, yeah
It's like that, woah (I'ma sit you, I'ma need to have a chat)
It's like that, yeah (I'ma hit you, you can meet me where I'm at)
It's like that, woah (One-eighty, one-eighty, one-eighty)
It's like that,
Yeah (I'ma switch you, I'ma need to bring you back, woah)
Society been tryin' me
Tryna breathe to find some peace, yeah
Mind on mine, so keep it brief
Your talk is cheap, we don't believe ya
Please don't throw no stones
Please just let me be
I switched up that flow
So my sons could eat
Hah-hah, hah-hah-hah-hah
I grew up on concrete, where I cut my teeth
There ain't no trick up my sleeve, I was pure as Eve
'Til as showed up in this industry as the only one covered in leaves
When I realized these niggas not like me
Fuck it, I was naive, I was fooled, I want to believe
This shit was my dream, I skipped school, I underachieved
I pulled up my jeans, me and my niggas run from police
When they told us "Freeze," nigga, please, nigga
Back from a city of basses, I been the ambassador
Leadin' in Catholics and killings and cappin' per capita
My skin as brown as the liquor, the lynch, and the bathwater
I might be takin' my talents to Africa, uh
Earth is gonna orbit perfectly, in perfect time, in circles
Not to be deterred by any person, I don't see his purpose
I don't have to rhyme hyperbole in every verse
The average person have no need have no need interpretin' the meaning
Niggas know it's certainty (Why are you like this?)
It's like that, woah
It's like that, yeah
It's like that, woah
It's like that, yeah
It's like that, woah (I'ma sit you, I'ma need to have a chat)
It's like that, yeah (I'ma hit you, you can meet me where I'm at)
It's like that, woah (One-eighty, one-eighty, one-eighty)
It's like that,
Yeah (I'ma switch you, I'ma need to bring you back, woah)
It's like that, woah (I'ma sit you, I'ma need to have a chat)
It's like that, yeah (I'ma hit you, you can meet me where I'm at)
It's like that, woah (One-eighty, one-eighty, one-eighty)
It's like that,
Yeah (I'ma switch you, I'ma need to bring you back, woah)
I'ma sit you, I'ma need to have a chat
I'ma hit you, you can meet me where I'm at
One-eighty, one-eighty, one-eighty, yeah
I'ma switch you, I'ma need to bring you back, woah
