They Know Us
They ain’t seen nothing like me since the '04 Ye
The flow scalding, but the beats something like sorbet
Women lettuce hit cause they know we make romaine
A pioneer in this music like a young Coltrane
I dominate in my sphere as the world rotates
I move stars with my words as my pen notates
I see a cause for the youngins and I must donate
Rather that than blowing money on the hoes I date
Women stare different once they realize my name
Men always hate online but in person they praise
I don’t do this for applause, but it comes with the fame
Yeah, it’s nice to have awards but those won’t go to the grave
N****s, Mel Gibson, act like they got heart of the brave
Mean mugging to portray a life from not which they came
I was only ever me, so I never relate
I keep getting to the cake and it’s never belated
PayPal deposits look like a cartel account
7 figures on the tables then we hearing them out
Labels claim we arrogant, cause they don’t know what we bout
To care less is the only thing I’m caring about
Greatest ever is in session and I’m saying it loud
Yeah we came from the basement but we destined for clouds
Yeah we stayed innovating, while you stayed on the couch
And you wonder why your records imitate a church mouse
I’m the one they was waiting on the wait is over
I’ve arrived and I don’t need to say I’m taking over
They gon’ see me everywhere like a grey Corolla
The streams multiplying and we didn’t need payola
Made money in the kitchen without whipping Yola
Making money off my smashes like I’m Kournikova
Been stacking up, now the heat is boiling over
They used to ask for my name, but now they know us, n***a
If you put me any place, it must be with the greats
N****s try to argue but we never fall for the the bait
God is with me so I’ll probably take my chances with fate
Sky’s the limits cause of what I do with vinyl from crates
Scratch that the limit is a figment, I'm sure of it
I am historic, make sure you recording this
Been a king, now we making money off royalties
So many deals so I’m racking up lawyer fees
I/m scared of fame but its the price that you pay
We all want center stage but it comes with the weight
Of others expectations that will keep you stuck in your place
Then only self-belief can unshackle your chains
I’m prepared for it all and I always want more
We got plans to the kill game and it won’t come with remorse
Leader of the new school, they don’t have a retort
Critics said the feelings gone so I had to restore it
I don’t bump y’all, I'm busy reading Marcus Aurelius
I’m living where patience is, I’m stoic in nature
The Don is my alias, my fortune is radiant
Chain so cold it got the flu, and its avian
Fly til I die, DJ paul, Juicy J and them
Chased excellence and the money just came with it
Know that life will change, I just hope I don’t change with it
Zero dollars to my name, I’m still the same n****
I’m the one they was waiting on the wait is over
I’ve arrived and I don’t need to say I’m taking over
They gon’ see me everywhere like a grey Corolla
The streams multiplying and we didn’t need payola
Made money in the kitchen without whipping Yola
Making money off my smashes like I’m Kournikova
Been stacking up, now the heat is boiling over
They used to ask for my name, but now they know us, n***a
