Keep My Wits

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

Yeah, a lot changed but I'm still the same old me

I'd still rather make a song than go to KOD

I'm still a boss, I make everybody wait on me

I'm still tellin' mom and dad to put the weight on me, I got it

But according to the haters, they're a cheat code

But if they were rich, then why'd their cars get repo'd?

And fuck the rappers who pretend to be amigos

But want to see me finito like Pacino and Carlito

Plus these women want exploitable dick

I can't let the pussy drive me off avoidable cliffs

I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt and burned it

I studied for this shit, I did my research and learned it

Everything I'm getting right now, I deserve it

Everything that's bottled up is coming to the surface

I can look and see that the world is malnourished

They're hungry for some real shit, and bitch I'm about to serve it

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

Yeah, every week when the stats come in

All these basement recordings turned to plaques and Ms

I had to devise a plan first and get higher standards

I like wire transfers and Cheshire dancers, yeah

Gettin' on was hard, stayin' on is strenuous

Paranoid, I'm thinkin' everybody's disingenuous

Shots from the outside keep gettin' sent to us

We don't give a fuck about cliquein' up, y'all ain't friends to us

This is not pretend to us, this is non-fiction

I been makin' beats since y'all were bumpin' Sean Kingston

Never gave a fuck about my high school test score

Just bought a mansion and my high school's next door

Wave to the principal, wave to the teachers

I ran on the field, haters stayed in the bleachers

Now my show's louder than the football game

I'm goin' apeshit, I'm on my Jane Goodall wave

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I'm tryna clear my head more, I know that I don't sleep enough

I should call my dad more, I know that we don't speak enough

Adjustin' to the fame, sometimes he's not discreet enough

I'm tryna run the game, I hope me will be enough

But fuck y'all, most of y'all talkin' ain't got the balls to do what I do

Don't worry about me, all my homies wanna fight you

Power's omnipresent, I'm the stranger right beside you

The universe sees everything, trust me, it'll find you

Path to the billions is the road that I'm walkin' on

Rappers playin' dress-up, the game looks like Comic-Con

Y'all ain't sayin' shit, na-na-na, na-na-na

I'm Badu with the hits, on and on, on and on

Bet your girl's car got Russ in the system

You don't feel yourself unless there's drugs in your system

I'ma be 80 makin' hits, I'm not lyin'

I see a lot of people get rich and stop tryin'

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me

Especially right now, I got a rich bounty

I can tell that you don't give a shit 'bout me

I keep the same people that's been 'round me

I keep my wits 'bout me
