LYRICS

Oh, guess who is back
It's the [?] flipping stacks
Got the fans who yelling bring it back
But you be like "nah his shit is whack"
Now I'm first place, getting remixed by Hervé
My work way is impeccable
Check the folio
I have done anything to get it on
Ha, see the influence
How a spitta came up from the
[?] Everybody wanna give a shit

Nowadays everybody is like whats up
What's happenin', bruv, what's happenin', cuz
Nowadys everybody's on my case
But I ain't complaining
But where was you when I was grindin'
Let me break it down to you, fam
I want the whole world in the palm of my hand

Huh, you want one fam
Heard you be man swinging in like tarzan
[?] with the tar hands
That will slide for your pockets at the Bar man
Ha, but my Name ain't Genius
Came down to lock the whole game like Jesus
Disbelievers get disbelieved
Spit the Ether slick how I flick off leeches
Cold blooded
Im in the league on my own
I'm in the lab steady rackin' up hits, cashin' my checks
