​​clockwork Lyrics by SAFE

Tell It Like It Is

2024

[Chorus]
I keep one in the head if they try to buss a move
I been seein' red since I came up out the blue
Why these old niggas tryna tell me what to do?
Had the trap jumpin' like Mike in '92
I know they be hatin' on anything I do
I know they be shakin' when gang up in the room
I know they be fakin' and actin' like we cool
I know celebratin', they wanna see me lose

[Verse]
Ten bands on a bad day (On a bad day)
I carry niggas, I got back pains (I got back pains)
Three stripes on that park lane (Oh, yeah)
Big body, take both lanes (Oh, yeah)
Wash niggas like Cascade, yeah (You niggas all washed up)
Eighteen when that bag came (Eighteen, I got more than six figures)
Fourteen with that black flame (Fourteen with that old black revvin')
I grew up in that fast lane (Oh, yeah)
More water, more champagne (Oh, yeah)
In the streets, fuck Max Payne (In these streets)
Man, these niggas had their chance but they blew it (Yeah, they blew it)
That's just clockwork, R.I.P. Stanley Kubrick (R.I.P.)
That's just how it goes when you're havin' trouble shootin' (Trouble shootin')
Disrespect the gang, man, these niggas must be stupid (These niggas must be foolish)
If it's up then it's stuck up (If it's up it's stuck)
Way we kickin' doors, would've thought it was a drug bust (It was a drug bust)
Burnin' rubber from the west to Augusta (Yeah)
Scary ass niggas only got strength in numbers

[Chorus]
I keep one in the head if they try to buss a move (If they tryin')
I been seein' red since I came up out the blue (I keep my)
Why these old niggas tryna tell me what to do? (So)
Had the trap jumpin' like Mike in '92 (Trap, trap)
I know they be hatin' on anything I do (Thing I do)
I know they be shakin' when gang up in the room (Gang, gang, gang)
I know they be fakin' and actin' like we cool (I know)
I know celebratin', they wanna see me lose (Can never lose)
