Yeah (we secure the enemy!)

Yeah, look

(If they do not surrender, shoot 'em on sight! Shoot on sight)

Talking to my momma half the time (yeah)

Talking to my daddy half the time

Streets crazy, they don't salvage time

Look at the news, that's savage time (woah)

Rolex, that's savage time (Ro)

Pass the licks, I ain't passing time (no)

Cutthroat, we on savage time (cut)

Cutthroat, we on savage time

Look, I'm taking out anyone in my way (way)

I'm not playing with you, bitch, this not the WNBA (no)

I'm a real-life star so you know I need my space (you know)

Beat a white supremacist black, 'til that motherfucker hate his face (lil' bitch)

I been going through some issues that nobody dealing with

Surrounded by real killers and shit, doing it for the thrill of it

Graveyards on some Thriller shit; only zombies 'round here fiends

They need help and they had dreams, but don't nobody give a shit

Metro Boomin want some more, nigga

Yeah, just like them boys in cells who had dreams of NFL (yeah)

How they s'posed to pray to God if they keep waking up in hell?

Been there so long, they got pictures with the fucking devil himself

Everybody need direction, even if it's to find they self

Look, I'm the greatest of our time, bitch, I do it till I die

Swear I'm done with all the bullshit like I moved up out the Chi' (like that)

All that fuck shit obsolete, boy, I hop up on my feet (my feet)

I'm the only one stopping me, I give you one finger away for peace (fuck it)

I'ma take that water from Flint, and I'ma go up there to D. C

I'ma make the president drink, he wouldn't even let it touch his sink

I said: God, we need a blessing

God said: Go and see the reverend

People lined outside the churches like it's the white and blue 11's (straight up)

Hurricanes hitting with another bomb threat

Man, this shit feel like Armageddon, swear I'm goin' every second

So I keep good weed, good vibes, good crystals (yeah) lavender eucalyptus

Mixing it with the incense, just to relieve my tension

Savage time, yeah, it's time to take this shit (take it)

I mean record-breaking shit, all we doing is taking risks (that's all)

I ain't got time to take my time, I'm doin' it like my life on the line

I ain't have no lifeline in my whole lifetime, no hero to hide behind (behind)

With a soul like mine, when it go night time

There's no other choice but to shine (but to shine)

Look, no gold mines, set goals in my mind

When the stars are aligned, I'm divine (straight, straight)

So understand we gon' see success, that's inevitable (woah)

You couldn't hold me down even if I was in federal (woah)

You couldn't stop these plays even if I was ineligible

Kneeling like Colin Kaepernick if that shit unethical (Kap)

Yeah, free my mind, no bargain (free) got one girl, she the hardest (I swear)

That pussy supercharging, making love between war and

Then I hit the stage then get to talking like I'm Marcus Garvey (like I'm Marcus)

Like how is dark skin a weapon but they treat it like a target?

Like how if you rich in the mind then you already worth a fortune

Like you deserve every single golden por

Shots fired, I need 'em right now!

I need 'em, man down right now!

Shots fired, I repeat backup request!

Front line, front line, front line!

I am at a point where

I just don't have any more to give, or feel

How the fuck I'm supposed to feel?

Shit's way too real in the field

Tell me how the fuck I'm 'posed to feel now?

Shit real out here in the field

Got me on no chill

These bitches got me on no chill

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

If Young Metro don't trust you, I'm gon' shoot you

Young nigga heaven sent

Raising hell 'til it's heaven again

My niggas used to sell dope, they was Backstreet Boys

Cops land 'em on the pavement now they black street boys

Pinstripe suits, how I'm mobbing

Alley-oop opportunities, yeah I lob it

To all of my niggas cause we got no other option

I pray V-12 is the only time I'm boxed in

Fuck a fake hoe, that bitch toxic

Push her off of me like I'm in moshpits

Every day fresh as fuck, you niggas never fly, you an ostrich

Back room of the restaurant, we the mobsters

Bitch I'll never touch a mop in my life

I'll never have a nine-to-five in my life

I'm riding through the D with all my jewelries

So much love for me, I never get robbed in my life

Aretha Franklin, respect it, respect

So in tune, I forgot how to stress

So in tune like the choir that's blessed

Boy, no stunt double, I'd die by the set, yeah

Got signed up like a nigga protest

If I ain't a pro at it then a nigga pro effect

Been doing this forever, I ain't getting old yet

Bitch I'ma fill this up with Möet

And my girl get mo' wet, only thing I cuff is Rolex

My nigga working with them bows, that's Bowflex

I straighten this shit out, no botox, I call the shots, no techs

Rocking enough chains for four necks, bitch

Freedom bells, freedom ring (yeah)

Free the eyes, let 'em see

Free them birds (yeah)

Free them birds (yeah, straight up)

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh
