Breaker, breaker
911, somebody come get this bitch
Thinking you a star on the rise, you got time to reply
Don't lie, you can hit my shit
You can lend me five lil' nigga, on the side, lil' nigga
Couple thou', need to fix my whip
How you switch sides on a nigga who was down with you, nigga?
You a fraud, just a fib my nig', my nig', uh
You know I never did you wrong
Even though I'm right here by the phone, dawg
You know, you never used to call
Keep it that way now
I'll treat you like you're dead right now
I'm on your head right now
You wanna fuck with me so bad right now
Well, now you can't right now
Oh, oh, oh
2018, I was at my sister house the whole summer (yeah)
Songs wasn't doing numbers (yeah)
Whole life was going under
Left school, then my dad and I had a face-to-face in Atlanta
He said: It's one in a million chance, son
I told him: Daddy, I am that one, uh, huh, uh
I ain't never need him, huh
I ain't never need no nigga, uh
I ain't never need no feature
If I didn't blow, I would've died tryna be here
If it didn't go, suicide, wouldn't be here
Now they all come around like they've been here
When you get this rich and famous
Everybody come up to you singing
Hallelujah, how'd you do it?
You've been on my mind
You've been running through it, yeah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah, how'd you do it?
You've been on my mind
You've been running through it, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I never did you wrong
Even though I'm right here by the phone, dawg
You know, you never used to call
Keep it that way now
I'll treat you like you're dead right now
I'm on your head right now
You wanna fuck with me so bad right now
Well, now you can't right now
Oh, oh, oh
Momma told me she was gonna stop fucking around with that nigga (fucking 'round with that nigga)
Told me she'd be clean, but I'm knowing that her ass is a deceiver
My momma told me that she love me, don't believe her
When she get drunk, she hit me up, man, with a fever, like, woah
You ain't even all that pretty
You ain't even all that, nigga
You ain't helping out with me, God won't forgive you (shit)
You ain't even all that pretty
You ain't even all that, nigga
You ain't helping out with me, God won't forgive you (damn)
You know I never did you wrong
Even though I'm right here by the phone, dawg
You know, you never used to call
Keep it that way now
I'll treat you like you're dead right now (I'll treat you like you're dead)
I'm on your head right now
You wanna fuck with me so bad right now (well, now you can't)
Well, now you can't right now
Oh
Treat you like you're dead right now
I'm on your head right now
You wanna fuck with me so bad right now
Well, now you can't right now
Oh, oh, oh
