Unnecessary

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Who the fuck, Gambino, this nigga on your tivo?

My hotel cost a kilo, banking like a free throw

Fuck y'all, we A-Team, y'all plan B like Walgreens

Cop that shit and paint it black, niggas want they summer back?

Ha-ha, no way, hublots, Dolce

Beans in my hand, girl in the car

She still with her man, but she seeing me tomorrow

Homegirl on that Master P, watch us ball like referees

Unnecessary roughness? We just trying to function

Used to sport them Filas cause my cousin pack them heaters

We don't wife 'em like Khalifa, we just party then we leave 'em

Tell 'em that we hittin', we don't really see 'em

My girl look best when she only wear a fitted

Q and 'Bino in the house and you niggas in the senate

Get it?

Four thou' on my fit, that's unnecessary

Skiing in Japan, that's unnecessary

Molly on my rider, that's unnecessary

'Bino spit the fire, that ain't even necessary

That's unnecessary, that's unnecessary

That's unnecessary, that's unnecessary

Roll out on a plane, that's unnecessary

'Tussin and champagne, nigga that ain't even necessary

They say don’t buy the belt and I got it

They say don’t get the Rollie and I bought it

Nigga, I’m balling

My fucking mixtape can get you through college

Getting them dollars

Showing my pearly white teeth, I'm a nigga that’s flawless

Came a long way from dumping out Impalas

Same gun and pants, different ski mask from coppers

All of this copper

Knock knock, who could it be? Niggas know I got it on lock

Yawk, yawk - bitch rappers better move ‘fore them niggas get dropped

Mr. Flop boy, you got your label hot

I’m the hardest out, you's a table cloth

Unnecessary balling, I was carted off

Been fucking with my side bitch so much my main bitch can’t stand it

Hunned racks in three months, man this shit is outstanding

Seen a dollar go to stupid racks, billion, trillion

Nigga, that’s what I call building

‘Bino what it do, let’s go half on a million

Bathroom DVR, that’s unnecessary

Cushion in that bulletproof, that’s unnecessary

Stunting in the mall, that’s unnecessary

Condo on my arm, that ain't even unnecessary

That’s unnecessary, that’s unnecessary

That’s unnecessary, that’s unnecessary

Ibiza for a day, that’s unnecessary

Shows a hundred K, that ain’t even necessary

Black Lip Bastard

Actual natural disaster

I did a song about DMT

Soulja Boy did one right after

3 eyes, these guys ain’t seeing me

No radio show up over B.o.B

G-O-D Emcee

I’m the devil with angel wings

Pilot Talk, Curren$y

Stole the show, burglary

I love that flow but I got more

Open condoms & condos

Open bottles of Moet

White with white girls in Eugene

And use to call hoes on 3-Way

And take out to the movies

And now we just do it always

She driving stick in the driveway

Just popped a molly with Molly

She do shrooms every blue moon

Hundred million trillion muthafuckin racks nigga

Pinot grigio the lean’ll go in that nigga

Now that's unnecessary

Been a legend since elementary

Ayo, Bino, tell these niggas I ain't no joke

She don't need speech, she ain't giving no throat

You are under my control

Suspender L's but I'm on a roll

Grade A, honor roll

Mayday, Soul!
