No tuition for my coalition

Self-taught by all these bad decisions

Treatin' good girls bad like a competition

So this is not some shit to stay sober to

I mean really, what else was I supposed to do

Cause we spendin' all these days on the avenue

The crew going crazy, and there's always suggestions someone's open to

I W in capital letters on top of a capital feather

What's happenin' fellas? Graf' cat slash rap

Mad hatter whatever we mainline, great minds

Think alike, get it right like a Tinder swipe

Half past middle night, let the wolves come for ya

Money in a brown bag like a lunch order

Or the budget getting squeezed like a Pump water

Dumb c**s oughta know, you can

See us snaking on by through the rooftops

Past the kids in the park with the boombox

Out the tunnel, feel the rush of daylight

Been this way since we was yay high (rep it mainline)

Dim-lit alleyways and apartments

Four walls tightly packed in the compartment

Fat cats, rat bags, fall in the same line

They on the same grind, yeah, that's mainline

Mainline is a'likes with minds tainted

I aimed higher till they ain't ask what my name is

In one room at the same time it's quite dangerous

Like off days for lion tamers, I might

I might take us on a little ride through my side of town

Turn the dial up when you ride around

It’s the I-dub alumni runnin' amuck

Let me see you put your I's and your W's up

I gotta a sweet tooth for trouble and thus I'm due to struggle

Y'all ain't even know about my food critic hustle

Ain't gotta wonder whether Lupe bring the muscle

Yo, fall back and Joyride little finger touch you

Sup du', it's the heavenly seven you'd rather look up to

Grind through the city that you raisin' a cup to

Took our time, thanks for your patience

Cruisin' down mainline, stoppin' all stations

See us snaking on by through the rooftops

Past the kids in the park with the boombox

Out the tunnel, feel the rush of daylight

Been this way since we was yay high (rep it mainline)

Dim-lit alleyways and apartments

Four walls tightly packed in the compartment

Fat cats, rat bags, fall in the same line

They on the same grind, yeah, that's mainline

Mainline, mainline

Many hands put me this high

Mainline, mainline

Eye level with the rails when they race by

Mainline, mainline

See the grey dogs handin' out they fines

Mainline, mainline

Split a cab ride home on your date night

Mainline, mainline

Sunset like a propane sky over

Mainline

No matter where I roam ain't nowhere like Mainline

Mainline, mainline

Just a bottle and your sorrows on a late night

Mainline, mainline

Home in bed 'fore the f**g paint dry
