One Mic, One Gun (feat. 21 Savage)

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.

Ain't no back and forth, ain’t no left or right (21, 21)

I got King's Disease but I move like a knight (21, 21)

Rappers bandwagon tryna get some likes (21, 21)

I do it for the fam', never for the hype (21, 21)

When you turn to legend, no such thing as relevance (21, 21)

They must’ve forgot that I'm a new rapper that got integrity (21, 21)

All of the media and blogs, that's just a place I don't care to be (21, 21)

Most of these niggas wouldn't say shit if they was ahead of me

No back and forth, I did it back then, I do it right now

I opened a lane for my era, I'm goated, they gavе me the crown

GOAT with all the succеss, the negative press, I'm watchin' it pile

They sayin’ that black music dyin’, I'm sayin’, they wipin' us out

But look at me now, damn, y'all, look at me now

Whatever I do is NY, I'm keepin’ it Queens 'cause that's my side

I shook up the town, I shook up the city, I shook up the state

I'm with 21 on my second run, this shit come with age

It's a conversation, it's determination

Your interpretation, I just shocked the nation

Did my tour with The Wu', I came back and I set the pace

They just ran in one of my cribs and took what? I replaced it

Two caucasians up out of their faces

Most of y'all assumed that they was black, it's exploitation (Black Caesar)

They ain't know that I see everything, invested in Ring

It's cool to be mainstream, I'd rather be timeless

That's if we keepin' it P, 21 (21, 21)

I'm on that same trajectory

Bullet wounds and jail cells couldn't stop me, this my destiny

Never controversial, I'm mad the fans expected less from me

Nigga sneezed around me, wipe his nose, won't get no bless from me

Fuck the jewelry, I rather buy land and invest successfully

I got all type of stocks and bonds, Kehinde Wiley on my wall

And I'ma pass it to my son

If Savage like the capo that mean Escobar the don, one mic', one gun

My net worth like eight figures, I'm workin' on gettin' me nine

You know that I'm one of them niggas, I ain't doin' no cappin' or lyin'

You rappers be chasin' the hype, I do it and I don't be tryin'

I ain't goin' against no legend, nigga, I'm tryna be next in line

They actin' like I just popped, I was platinum before I signed

I went platinum without no features, I put platinum on your mind

This Glock I got two-tone, and this bitch don't bust no rhyme

They wanna see me fucked so they could deport me like I'm Shyne

No back and forth, I did it back then, I do it right now

They tellin' me that I'm the G-O-A-T, I been here for a while

GOAT., love me today, hate me tomorrow, no switchin' my style

21, Yak', y'all get together, be big for the South

But look at me now, damn, y'all, look at me now

Whatever I do is New York, you hear that shit all in my vowels

I shook up the town, I shook up the city, I shook up the state

I'm one of them ones, on my second run, I'm on a new wave

Two kings

We're sendin' love to the whole culture

21, Esco, Mass Appeal, Slaughter Gang

This shit too easy, king
