VERSE 1: Denzel Curry
Rest in energy, it is all about energy
Squeeze two lemons collectively and actually all you will have is bitter
Diesel, niggas’ll smoke your ass to have the juice
Riding round in an all-black coupe
Couple of pigeons that is able to shoot, shit
Ducking and bucking and dodging and dropping
With 48 ounces and cigarette butts
Fucking round with the up echelon
They will flip you to cubes and I hope you be gone
Envelope overload, skull overdose
Denny Cascade, what the fuck is the halves
Click clack, get powed, bitch, it is a wrap
Tierra my witness, I pray for a nap
Youngin’ and stressed, return with a previous
Key in ignition, foot on the fuel
None of you niggas is appearing that jab
Gold tooth within the Glock and a Cybertech masks
Ring gun, particles, flip you into molecules
Planet shrooms, planet shrooms, I’ll take you to my panic room

That boy not gang, no, that boy not my pal
I grasp with my gang, the identical gang that felt all of my ache
When I used to be struggling by the rain
When I had no guap with no ice
Wasn’t no meals however rice
All of those bitches they need me however they get one evening
Fuck ’em, I give a fuck what you sayin’
Bitch nigga know I ain’t taking part in
I’m ’bout my fetty
Sailing Team armored, we prepared
Fuck up that nigga if he speak out too heavy
I’m ’bout it, chains on my neck value me twenty

Young nigga within the Gucci Stans
Fuck with me for those who wanna die
Young nigga, I do not put on no swimsuit and ties
Fuck no
