Back in the city back in the city

I know I was gone for a moment

I had to go get it I had to go get it

These niggas ain't cashing diplomas

That's no disrespect to my niggas back on home on them papers

Get it all congratulations you earned it

Moment of silence for y'all you deserve it

Now back to this here

I been working like 24/7 on something uncertain

On something unclear

I get better with time girl I feel like I'm Julius Erving

Little over a year ago I made decisions on

Who the f**k I wanna see in the mirror

So pulled a Houdini on 'em disappeared

Know once I'm back then I'm back at yo neck like a muhf**kin' herringbone

Baby that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no that ain't no

Baby that ain't no secret

Feeling like I gotta do something

I been going up for like two summers

Mr Every time that you see me out girl

I done f**ked around and got a new number

Y'all done f**ked around and showed your true colors

Niggas turning green over blue hunnids

But that ain't no secret said that ain't no secret

Y'all niggas been tripping

Man I had the drive way before I was whipping that Maxima

G and Denard in the passenger

Talking 'bout once we take off on 'em there ain't no catching up

Flip the script like a spatula

Came from the back of the back to the front of the pack

F**k yo feelings I ain't tryna patch it up

That ain't no secret

Know this ain't what you expected

But me I been feeling spectacular

Riding down 285 with the ratchet tucked

Hard to imagine progression when y'all moving backwards

I know there's a lesson in backing up

I'm tryna see it the way that you see it

I need it the most when I think I don't need it at all

And I never need it at all just look at the stars

F**k what they saying you know ima always be there when you call

Girl that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no secret

Baby that ain't no secret

Aye f**k what they saying

Said that ain't no secret

Y'all getting buzz off the strength of a name drop my name hot

You on fire it's ironic only thing that people think about is

Who taking over after the reign stop

I make waves you a rain drop

Don't get it twisted I put it all on the line for the city

Jennifer Lawrence I would die for my district

And may the odds be forever in the favor of the real niggas

Still a lot cause most of you niggas is b**ches now cosign that

I'm paranoid I was peeking where the blinds at

My confidence was lacking now I got my spine back

Ain't nothing change I always had to have my own back

The city got me wired ni**a feeling like the phone tapped

Mama told me don't bring no hoe to where your home at

And f**k Twitter man I can prolly make my own app

Nothing but love for Mother Earth and Father Time

But you can tell Uncle Sam I ain't never paying them loans back

We needing all that

I see you niggas waiting tryna bite the swag I'm slightly flattered by imitation

Thinking out the box cause I never knew my own limitations

Mama was a nurse maybe that's the reason I been this patient

You know my situation baby you know the deal

Just hold it down while I'm gone so I know it's real

Cause ima bring it home even though these niggas hating

I caught they ear now they biting I feel like Holyfield

Dropped outta college so it ain't no other way now

Jumped off a cliff and built a plane on the way down

Niggas tired of swinging acting monkey over bars

But they don't let sh*t slide on the southside playground

Everybody hate it when they don't know what to do witcha

Them niggas try to box you in like a school picture

I cut that cut class cut hoes cut checks

Baby ima f**k around and need some new scissors

I'm riding 'round with a queen like the new Jigga

Real queen and she listenin' to Real Sisters

Long as shawty play her cards right then ima deal with her

If she ever need to lean on me then I'm Bill Withers

Real scripture and you know that honey

Everybody on my dick like can you hold that for me

I need MJ paper yeah that throwback money

Cause a ni**a big timing like the old Cash Money gahdamn

I grew up a screw up don't trust anybody that knew us

Because to have known us would mean that somehow there's a new us

And f**k it they heard that line too much

These hoes wanna boot up these hoes don't do nothing but boot up

Your niggas aspiring shooters

Yeah that sh*t good but I'm doing better

Cause I want the best f**k the stress and the music

My brother my future hey

My sister my future and trust me I know my influence

Trust me I know my influence

Trust me I know what I'm doing hey

I just been showing and proving hey

I just been going and moving hey

I just been learning from failures

So I always win even when I was losing

I'm gone
