Description
It sounds like stand-up comedy: sharp, bold, and full of jibes in all directions. There's irony about other people's labels and confidence that doesn't need anyone else's approval. Every line is like a jab in the side: funny, painful, and honest all at once. Music becomes a platform for provocation - not for likes, but to dot the i's and add a couple of bold exclamation marks on top.
Lyrics and translation
Original
There's that big one
Beethoven was Black, truth is a key
The only time I rap on a chord, I'm not a puppet to string
Victoria thong color pink, these niggas all up my ass
A lotta y'all let 'em pass, surround my Grammy with glass
How I caught cases, I still ain't got my roses, I'm waitin'
I bought some vases, hmm, ha-ha-ha, I laugh at everything they used to say
Used to judge me, call me ugly, still I never changed my face
Just my place on your list, top five
I couldn't let a bitch top me if I was bi
Couldn't let a nigga top me if I was TDE
Ab-Soul, they can't see me
Niggas hate, now they spend a block like a CD
Periodically tables turn
Like H-E, helium, God will rise
I see through Nip eyes, a real G
Hold on, wait a minute
Some of y'all might listen more if I throw some pussy in it
Some of y'all pussy, isn't ya? (Oh-oh, whoo)
You bitch, when I lose, the city got my back like the Knicks
In the center of the storm like Patrick, y'all average
Y'all can't fuck with what I average (oh-oh)
Three classics back-to-back
One Grammy out the door, I'm comin' for four more
No chase, just attraction
Turn your career into a caption, mine a Wiki (oh-oh)
Doin' rain dances like Missy, I can't stand y'all
I'm AI with the band on
You're artificial, my art official like Basquiat
Y'all niggas in boxes while we just box a lot
Been fightin' my way through for this culture we call hip-hop
What y'all mean y'all don't like this?
I really think you niggas is jealous 'cause y'all ain't write shit
I know all of your writers, haha, bitch
Raise my seat up in this bitch like a bar mitzvah
All my Black Hebrews, Hebrews, we stand with ya
Kyrie, we stand with ya
Kanye, we do not fuck with no Hitler
We don't stand with genocide in Gaza neither
The Congo, Sudan, all of my people
We all equal 'til I start rappin'
That ain't equal, ha-ha-ha, you bitch
