lyrics

Real life…
I needed just a taste of that V9,
I hated when I faked it - want that real line,
I never wanna waste my time…

So long…
you made a nigga work this route for so long,
I waited till my fingers popped - I’m so strong,
it made me elevate my pride…

(Vamp)
If you want it…you can’t have it…
if you need it…you can’t get it…
If you want it…you can’t have it…

(Chorus)
Now stay woke…niggas chasing,
they gonna find you…gonna catch you racing…
Now stay woke…niggas chasing,
don’t you close your eyes…

I work out every Wednesday…
trying to get that Hayden Hodge body,
lo-cal is my intake…
grilled chicken over basmati,
you would hardly believe your own retina,
slicker than diabase at Mount Gretna,
going hard as Seneca when I’m in the cut,
my mind’s there, the body is steady catching up,
I'm a mean model with a Clean Bottle,
please swallow and close your eyes,
they said that 25 was when I was supposed to die,
so me and Hova celebrating our post demise - still want me to
rap about hood living in fear, y’all?
But I ain't lived in the hood for 10 years, dog,
been doing it pretty good - that’s sincere, but I stay woke…

(Chorus)
