  • Lucky me
    If they want my spot, then they gotta come for me
    Just know I want this shit more than whatever it is you want from me
    And the only thought at night that comforts me is starving whoever's hunting me
    Shit, lucky me, to be rich in a world where nothing's free
    And separated from hell by one degree
    Surrounded by niggas who did first degree
    And the other ones that never got they first degree, sheesh
    Lucky me (nigga), yeah, I done slashed hoes like I'm Slash on some rockstar shit
    Even bought Slash old crib, that's rockstar as it gets
    And had my hands on the R&B legends you couldn't handle
    Whether you do music or not, you wish you could sample
    And I had to live through the scandals, public humiliations and breaks up on camera
    It's a living nightmare when your dream girl has to get cancelled
    And you gotta delete all the photos and shit like you never Instagramed it
    And you get off track but somehow you gotta stay transit, ha
    Man, lucky me

    I was diagnosed with a heart disease at nineteen
    Could barely stand on my feet
    Doctor said they had to cut it open, put a pacemaker on it to put it back on beat
    'Til my mama took me to holistic doctors and they prescribed me magnesium for two weeks
    Went back to the regular doctors and they said
    "Huh, damn, looks like we don't need to proceed"
    That's how I know that western medicine weak
    Man lucky me, to be the chosen one
    And saved for the special occasions like I was Opus One
    You know and I'ma live for ever like Walt Disney, the frozen one
    Done flew so many times past the limit, I didn't even know it was one
    And faced our problems head on when they told us to run
    And ran it up in the city where no one would come
    One that had literally died but then came back alive
    And that's the furthest thing that I know from over and done
    And I don't even have to say it, you know where I'm from, bitch
    Lucky me, lucky who? Lucky true
    It's a wonder what prayer, working smart, and love can do
    And y'all got an efficient and humble crew
    And you got a long list of the things y'all wanna do
    Shit, who who knows? Lucky me can turn into lucky you

    We turn nothing to something so much, it's nothing new
    I know lady luck so well, I swear that's like my bottom bitch, number two
    Doing what we love and choose with lots to lose and more to prove
    Ain't runnin' from nothing but haven't lost sight of the finish line
    That we been runnin' to, lil' bitch
    This Detroit fuckin' 2
    My thoughts is all black, yeah, I'm back to the roots
    Fuck your white flag, ho, I don't want no truce
    And we all in the huddle they like, it's on you
    Mmm, lucky me, pressure's what I eat
    Ain't no roses at my feet, just the blood on the concrete, look

    The mission is covert, I stuck to the code and you don't know the code word
    Once they turn me up and just know that it's over
    My soul is on soulless, surrounded by angels and soldiers on soldiers
    World turn me cold, game turned me colder
    Sittin' court-side lookin' like I'm finna be the fuckin' future owner
    Cup runneth over and she coming over
    And she told me that her lil' bro wanna be me when he older
    Look, I ain't gon' hold you, though
    Put in my family, I feel like Utopia
    Falling in love with a slut is my phobia
    My whole team first class, so it ain't no coaching us
    Whoa there, don't go there, now slow down lil' brody, I know you don't know me
    I buffed up my chest up, I feel like Hulk Hogan, I walk in the building like everybody owe me
    Move heaven on earth, this shit feel like erosion
    The don, I'm the king, I'm consulting the soldiers
    You talk to me nice and not real, I'm insulted
    I bet on myself, ain't no way my hands folded
    What's a limitation? Fuck your validation, I don't gotta figure, God flow got it renovated
    Demon slayer and bitch slayin', legendary it's insulated
    Two guards outside barricaded while I'm serenading
    Paradise covein' while I'm strokin', pussy tight I'm claustrophobic
    She do damn down and devoted, got me wondering what's her motives
    Remember my feelings don't mean shit to none of my goals
    So I gotta stay focused, this city is soulless, this shit get to vulgar
    Seen bodies wrapped up in them white sheets, no COVID

    The mission is covert, I stuck to the code and you don't know the code word
    Once they turn me up and just know that it's over
    My soul is on soulless, surrounded by angels and soldiers on soldiers
    World turn me cold, game turned me colder
    Sittin' court-side lookin' like I'm finna be the fuckin' future owner
    Cup runneth over and she coming over
    And she told me that her lil' bro wanna be me when he older (facts)
    Look, I ain't gon' hold you, though
    Put in my family, I feel like Utopia
    Falling in love with a slut is my phobia
    My whole team first class, so it ain't no coaching us
    My whole team first class, so it ain't no coaching us
    Nobody over us, except the ones we lost, stay watching over us

    Prayin' hands, prayin' hands
    Say amen, got a lot of to do
    But she gon' wait on me (wait on me)
    Legendary shit, lucky me (yeah) Writer/s: Benny Soebardja, Chauncey A. Hollis, Dacoury Dahi Natche, Roget Chahayed, Sean Michael Anderson, Travis Darelle Walton
