  • How I'm feeling, it doesn't matter
    'Cause you know I'm okay
    Instead, I ask myself, "Why do you worry?"
    You know, you know I'm the same
    I know, I know you don't love me, baby
    They're trying to take you away from me
    Only over my dead body

    I think I killed everybody in the game last year
    Man, fuck it, I was on though
    And I thought I found the girl of my dreams at the strip club
    Mm-mm, fuck it, I was wrong though
    Shout out all to all my niggas livin' tax free
    Nowadays, it's six figures when they tax me
    Oh well, guess you lose some and win some
    Long as the outcome is income
    You know I want it all and then some
    Shout out to Asian girls, let the lights dim some
    Shots came, I don't know where they was sent from
    Probably some bad hoes I'm 'bout to take the hint from
    Yeah, you know me well, nigga
    Yeah, I mean you ain't the only real nigga
    They got me on these white women like Seal, nigga
    Slave to the pussy but I'm just playin' the field nigga, yeah
    Are these people really discussin' my career again?
    Askin' if I'll be goin' platinum in a year again
    Don't I got the shit the world wanna hear again?
    Don't Michael Jordan still got his hoop earring in?
    Man, all of your flows bore me, paint dryin'
    And I don't ever be trippin' off of what ain't mine
    And I be hearin' the shit you say through the grapevine
    But jealousy is just love and hate at the same time
    Yeah, it's been that way from the beginnin'
    I just been playin', I ain't even notice I was winnin'
    And this is the only sound you should fear
    Man, these kids wear crowns over here and everything is alright

    Oh, I know you don't love me, baby
    They're trying to take you away from me
    Only over my dead body

    You say I'm old news, well, who the new star?
    'Cause if I'm goin' anywhere, it's probably too far
    Just performed at a Bar Mitzvah over in the States
    Used half of the money to beat my brother's case
    Red wine over fed time
    But shout out to the niggas that's doin' dead time
    And shout out to the bitches there when it's bedtime
    And fuck you to the niggas that think it's their time
    Yeah, don't make me take your life apart, boy
    You and whoever the fuck gave you your start, boy
    Oh, you wanna be a motherfuckin' funny guy?
    Don't make me break your Kevin Hart, boy
    Yeah, it's whatever
    You know, feelin' good, livin' better
    I think maybe I was numb to it last year
    But you know I feel it now more than ever
    My city love me like Mac Dre in the Bay
    Second album, I'm back pavin' the way
    The backpackers are back on the bandwagon
    Like this was my comeback season back, back in the day
    And I met your baby moms last night
    We took a picture together, I hope she frames it
    And I was drinkin' at the Palms last night
    And ended up losin' everything that I came with
    Yeah, feel like I've been here before, huh?
    I still got ten years to go, huh?
    And this is the only sound you should fear
    Man, these kids wear crowns over here and everything is alright

    Oh, I know you don't love me, baby
    They're trying to take you away from me
    Only over my dead body
