lyrics

(Verse 1)

Please run the track. Please,
please handle that.
I ran to the corner store, I'm just posted up,
but seen 12 on attack

right where the addicts running at.
One had the scene at his back.
He said "have you seen Molly? Tell her
come through 'cause I need some of that."

Please, please, none of that.
I'm way too clean for some of that,
and what I look like rolling up while you on a sting?
Yeah I seen some of that.

Dipped out quick to the crib,
last place I should go.
My friends left JB in the freezer
from the party I had while ago.

Phone beeped, who is that?
She bailing on me but I already know
she probably copied all of the same texts
from the same doc in her Apple Notes and then mass sent.

She game-playing and she maintaining
ties she got to a dead weight.
If you both sink, then I ain't saving.
Been taking note of these things changing:

me myself, and homegirl's attitude.
I know she heard bout me and bro
up on the stage,
was getting waved inside the rave.

Ones and twos, I make the rules:
command the floor, collect the check if you got dues,
then I'm ghost. The only reason you
keep me around 'cause you know I sound just like you.

(Hook)

Notice me
do my thing and now you're looking at me like it's
more to me.
I do not get paid enough for all the things I

oversee, but I couldn't
help but check the fact you wanted
more from me when you saw my
name up on that poster where I'm

at the top.
Now you wanna take a photo with me, you a
photo opp -- you just wanna
get in where you fit in cause I'm

bound to pop.
Joke's on you, I'm triple-guessing everybody
in the spot. I'm just getting
started, I could never stop.

(Verse 2)

Which is worse -- is it
cloak and dagger or just the dagger?
If she's a wolf in that wool sweater,
then I might be in danger after.

She was like "let me call a friend real quick,"
I was like "nah, yeah, go and take your time."
Her mom pulled up in a SUV, went
*beep-beep* whenever she slid right by.

I'm in this ride and something feel a little bit
strange to me. Why we pulling up on
Rundberg Lane? I made it out the hood,
I don't need them streets.

Switched up language and I still get it.
I stay stocked up on Spanish credits.
Say she need to buy something, I don't know,
I must've fell asleep in class that lesson.

Wait...

Two dudes out the car beside me,
mom said she just need a $5 and
homegirl said "if you move they gon
(*pew-pew*) and go hide the body."

I wasn't too focused on the how or why
until she grabbed a bag of candy --
hold up, wait, she buying Molly.

Brushed it off,
you move quick if you there long enough.
We get to the lounge, I am not a rapper is
what I tell myself when talking off the cuff.

Back to mine, she saw the poster
and the light in her eyes showed up.
She was like "yo, I know you're gonna be a star."
To kill the vibe all she had to do was show love. I know you

(Hook)

Notice me
do my thing and now you're looking at me like it's
more to me.
I do not get paid enough for all the things I

oversee, but I couldn't
help but check the fact you wanted
more from me when you saw my
name up on that poster where I'm

at the top.
Now you wanna take a photo with me, you a
photo opp -- you just wanna
get in where you fit in cause I'm

bound to pop.
Joke's on you, I'm triple-guessing everybody
in the spot. I'm just getting
started, I could never stop.
