Lyrics:

One, two
Check
Yeah

That’s two cents for the mind, zero dollars in the wallet
You know who the be the realest, whether in or out the pocket
And we only being modest ‘bout it, we never flaunt or doubt it
We just really about this, hard to even count us out it
The sound to keep you grounded whenever the weather clouded
We be the flowers sprouting out from where they said it’s crowded
Reroute the roots until we get the fruits they try and claim
You never felt the pain chained to my last name
Is all purpose, mane deeper than the surface plane
And all in service for the verses in the speaker playing
Young playa steeze bring the breeze when you hurt the same
For the people from the people with eternal flame
Burn the frame to the picture that they try and paint of us
Should know it’s dangerous to go and fake the funk
Now we coming with the stuff, this lightening thunderous
Look at up at the sky they see us, it got’em wondering

And really is all progress
Even if we start to get it then we digress
It’s gonna take a little time just to digest it
You know I’m young, son, I just want the finest
Clothes, the women, and the shows you could dine in
Taste the wine every time that I'm rhyming
She type nice when you pair her with alignment
A squeeze of lemon in the summer with the ice
Baby got the butter, and she spreading it precise
And so tight, so tonight you know we sliding
We brought the light so we switching up the climate
You tryna fly honey come get with ya highness
The after hours we gon’ kick it on flight, woah
And I ain’t ever had option
I had to go and get it young, we got it popping
The whole squad from the block back in Watson
Man, the same spot that they caught my pop lost in
Is where I blossom, really where I start from
Where my heart from, really where the art come
And when is all done, you know who to call son
Baby got the gravy and the sauce, wassup
