Check

I was sittin' sideways

Born in the days where you stand by what you say (one)

Never let a broke boy know you gettin' paid (two)

Never let a quick lay lay-up where you stay (three)

Never let them step up on the carpet that you pray

Don't need body armour, know my angels keep me safe (safe)

You say you got goons, I know goblins in the cage

When life gave me lemons, I got rich off lemonade

It's a brand-new suede (uh), do not rain on my parade

I don't make the rules, I can't tell you what to do

Show you how to move, monkey see, monkey do

Each one, teach one, rule one, real smooth

Keep your business in your pocket, pocket watchers on the loose

A broken heart expensive, I don't think many recoup (uh)

That honey trap was sweet, now it's gimme the loot, gimme the loot

Rule three, that's about respect, nothin' less

If you let somebody test, they might do that shit again

Love taught me "forgive," disrespect said "revenge"

I ain't tasted nothin' sweeter in a minute

Need another lesson? Don't worry, I still ain't finished

I remember bein' young, dumb, and hungry for a livin'

Wondered if there's space up in Heaven for a sinner

'Til I got up off my back and started winnin'

Never let the chase swap you out and use your place

Never let the fates bring you down and lose grace

Still can't let the jakes get a smile or a trial

Make sure you take your shorty out, it's been a while

Act like you know, say she somebody's child

And try not to bring the vex back home

I beg you leave the beggin' and the hat alone

This is hard as hell, but you never been to hell (hell)

That ain't gonna sell, swear I made it out as well

Made it out the shell, now I'm singin' like Adele

Boys, slow down 'cause you're messin' up a good thing

Good thing, real good thing

Girls, slow down 'cause you're messin' up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good thing

Boys, slow down 'cause you're messin' up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good thing

Girls, slow down 'cause you're messin' up a good thing

Good thing, baby, real good-

(You must got it, but you never mean a thing, though)
