[Intro:]
Yeah
Yeah, y'all ready, leggo
Yeah
Mama told me, "You better keep your head straight" (head straight)
And Pap was always there to let me know I'll elevate (elevate)
I could beat a pound of lead even though I'm feather weight (feather weight)
But if they put it to my heart I'll be in heaven's gate
[Verse 1:]
Oh, yeah, heaven's gate
Never compensate
I'ma drop the tape
When it good timing, ayy
When I'm aspiring
They be conspiring
Waiting to see when I'm wylin'
So when I get a check they can unverify me
"Cause I heard it from a little birdie
You were getting wordy then you started cursing
And it really hurt me how you played me dirty
Now I'm gonna condemn you for getting thirsty"
"Cause I would never do anything wrong
How you say that you love God in your songs
How can you say you a Christian at all?"
I ain't worry 'bout yall
[Chorus]
Mama told me, "You better keep your head straight" (head straight)
And Pap was always there to let me know I'll elevate (elevate)
I could beat a pound of lead even though I'm feather weight (feather weight)
But if they put it to my heart I'll be in heaven's gate (yeah)
Oh, yeah, head straight, Mama keep my head straight (head straight)
Elevate, Papa tell me I'ma elevate (elevate)
Compensate, hey, you know I never compensate (compensate)
The Father, ayy, always 'member where I got it ayy (yeah)
[Verse2:]
I'm just tryna make some music for the fans
I'm just tryna make some music for the Man
Bring the juice in, I'm just tryna do it for the fam
Heard ya talking trash so I threw it in the can
You run your mouth so much it should be in a marathon
So many snakes around it's like I'm in the Amazon
You sitting on the couch, buying bags on Amazon
'Cause you got too much baggage to fit in the carry-on, yeah
I just been driving this thing with no brake
I just been beating the beat 'till it break
I just been working without any break
Jump on the beat like a spring with the break
Everybody want a piece of the cake
Acting like it is a piece of a cake
To put in work so you can bring in the cake
If you are one of 'em get out of my face
I don't wanna have to put you in place
Running with me try to keep up the pace
Make a beat and I'ma turn up the bass
Hitting homers while you sitting on base
Spitting cold ones while you sitting on bass
Record a lick and then I put it in place
Then we got a track to shove in your face
Now everybody got a new one to play
Yeah
[Chorus]
Mama told me, "You better keep your head straight" (head straight)
And Pap was always there to let me know I'll elevate (elevate)
I could beat a pound of lead even though I'm feather weight (feather weight)
But if they put it to my heart I'll be in heaven's gate (yeah)
Oh, yeah, head straight, Mama keep my head straight (head straight)
Elevate, Papa tell me I'ma elevate (elevate)
Compensate, hey, you know I never compensate (compensate)
The Father, ayy, always 'member where I got it ayy (yeah)
[Verse 3]
Why would I settle for anything less
Than being the best and bringing success
And bringing a mess to beat up the pest
That be in distress when we in the blessed
Palm of the hand, the law of the land
Everybody gonna fall when He stand
It's all in a plan, now I'ma go ham
Baking all the tracks that fall in my hands
I ain't perfect so I follow the Man
Got a question, would you call on my hand
How you think that you are gonna get rich
When every paycheck you throw all of your bands?
"Well homie, I ain't spending all of 'em
Man I still got a few left!"
Well, just 'cause you got Gucci don't mean that you balling
If you live in a 2 bedroom apartment
[Chorus]
Mama told me, "You better keep your head straight" (head straight)
And Pap was always there to let me know I'll elevate (elevate)
I could beat a pound of lead even though I'm feather weight (feather weight)
But if they put it to my heart I'll be in heaven's gate (yeah)
Oh, yeah, head straight, Mama keep my head straight (head straight)
Elevate, Papa tell me I'ma elevate (elevate)
Compensate, hey, you know I never compensate (compensate)
The Father, ayy, always 'member where I got it ayy
