[Intro]
Hey
This might be the realest shit I ever wrote
This might be the hardest beat I ever rode
This might be the coldest game I ever sold
This might be the greatest story ever told
Guess time will tell
[Verse 1]
I’ve been the biggest for a minute, so the hardest how I fell
North Pole, heart froze, seen the coldest niggas mеlt
They may never undеrstand the depths of darkness where I dealt
But I had to keep it pushing, that’s regardless how I felt
Nigga, “pressure” ain’t the word
Business, pleasure, never mix, built it by the brick, got it out the dirt
Even when it went amiss, no, I never switched, kept the family first
All skin-folk ain’t kinfolk, shit, you got to know your worth
Rock bottom just a springboard, talk about a blessing from a curse
Got a testimony for the church
I done built a church up in the wild, ‘cause I kept the faith and put it first
Not too many men could walk a mile, I’m just glad I made it through the hurt
Now I sing these praises with a smile, ‘cause I navigated through the turf
I learned everybody makes choices, not everybody got options
Partners versus your pockets, you proud of me, or the profit?
‘Cause a lot of people changed up, still been on the same shit
Getting what I came for, and leave with who I came with
[Chorus]
Same nigga from the same place, on the same thang
Same mission, trying to maintain with the same gang
Same side, throw the same signs, these ain’t gang sings
Praise God, and we raise hell at the same time
Hey, know you went to the place with the shrimp and the steak, not to mention the pasta and lobster
Me, I’m good with my chicken and waffles, fuck around sip the Hen out the bottle
We just took it from big to colossal, yeah, they’re just catching up but it’s not new
Hold it down for my squad ‘cause I got to, best believe if you got me, I got you
[Verse 2]
Wasn’t no Church In The Wild ‘til I walked through
So watch how you talk when you talk to whoever you talk to
They might not believe, but please believe me, they’re ‘bout to
‘Cause I represent God in the flesh, I done passed every test, even still they gon’ doubt you
I can show ‘em the way but it pains me to say they won’t get it until they without you
So I separate just to elevate, only walking on the water, otherwise I levitate
Circumstances tried to devastate, but tables turn, I get to celebrate
I went from nights I couldn’t sleep, to dreaming wide awake, to only seeing heaven’s gates
Manifesting when I meditate, look at God, He ain’t never late
He ain’t never late
The patience led to the praises, I’m recognizing the grace ‘cause it’s nothing short of amazing
But a lot of people changed up, still been on the same shit
Getting what I came for, and leave with who I came with
[Chorus]
Same nigga from the same place, on the same thang
Same mission, trying to maintain with the same gang
Same side, throw the same signs, these ain’t gang signs
Praise God, and we raise hell at the same time
Hey, cut your grass for the snakes, I can’t deal with the fakes, not to mention the frauds and imposters
Me, I’m good with my chicken and waffles, I pull up with my click like apostles
We just took it from big to colossal, yeah, they’re just catching up but it’s not new
Go to war, I’ma ride for my roster, on my life, if you got me, I got you
[Bridge]
This might be the realest shit I ever wrote
This might be the hardest beat I ever rode
This might be the greatest story ever told
Bingo “Off The Books,” I guess we’ll never know
[Outro]
Praise
Know you went to the place with the shrimp and the steak, not to mention the pasta and lobster
Me, I’m good with my chicken and waffles, fuck around sip the Hen out the bottle
Cut your grass for the snakes, I can’t deal with the fakes, not to mention the frauds and imposters
Me, I’m good with my chicken and waffles, I pull up with my click like apostles
