Steady strikin' matches
Stakin' all reactions
Star-, started from the bottom
Had to raise off the mattress
Got it, give it to you
God, give me all Your graces
Waitin' any longer
Got me fearin' for my babies

[Verse 1: 1K Phew]
Yeah, I just touched down, I'm in Houston (H-Town)
Yeah, shinin' in the rain, I'm just coolin' (Yes, I'm shinin')
Diamond chain, they gon' sang, call 'em Ruben (Diamond chain)
I was far from makin' change, let mе zoom in (Way too far)
Yeah, zoom, zoom, zoom
Coming down the runway, hard to stop me now (No)
I don't know what thеy told you then
But I had to go hit them battlegrounds (What they tell you?)
Had to go apologize for my sins
Lord, I let my family down
I was in school, had to bury some friends
I wanted to see my cap and gown (I did)
Prayin' to the Lord like, "Thank you Jesus I ain't in prison"
I ain't never gon' go (I ain't)
Remember them times I was livin' down low (Down low)
Yeah, one monkey don't stop no show (No show)
Time to go straight not to and fro (Go straight)
I was a king since '94 (Let's go)
Most of these folks puttin' on a show (A show)
Get out of my way you steppin' on toes (My way)
Goin' outside either way it goes
Yeah, Houston we have a problem
Think I just passed right by the moon (Big problem)
Comin' up from the bottom
Married to the game like bride and groom (I'm married)
They don't even like me floatin'
Tryna put holes in my balloon (Don't like me)
But I ain't gon' lie, I'm flattered that I got haters here this soon

[Verse 2: TNED]
TNED
I think I baptized my soul (Splash)
When I crossed over they froze
I am not talkin' 'bout cold (Ok)
When I said I had her covered (Yeah)
I was not talkin' 'bout clothe (Ok)
I wifed her up and I, yeah
I'ma leave that one alone, I think you know
My lyrics keepin' you high up (Yeah)
You ain't even gotta get stoned (Stoned)
Oh, you say you like the low life (Uhh)
Well that ain't the vibe that I'm on (vibe that I'm on)
I tried it and then let it go (Yeah)
It wasn't matchin' my soul (It wasn't matchin')
Poppin' bottles in the club
Then poppin' my head on Sunday got old (Yeah, it got old)
God was like, "Who is you with? (Who is you with?)
You gotta pick, you gotta pick" I made a choice
Sold out to God and found out it was lit (Yeah)
Now I'm legit, (Yeah) still gotta stick
I know somebody gon' come for the click
And when they do, we gon' be ready for 'em
On some Old Testament shhut up, boy
That there ain't nothin' but a set up, boy
We out here fallin' like pedals, boy
God got it covered like a sports anchor
In the Super Bowl with the Cowboys
Bet you can't tell I'm from Dallas, boy
Never catch me buryin' the talents, boy
Catch me in heaven with a palace, boy (Woo)
It's no malice, boy, I got status, boy
Takin' off and I'm…
