lyrics

This is about us (yeah)

Huh

Yeah

Huh yeah

Yo

Some of y’all got passion but no patience (yep yep)

Always had an irrational anxiousness (yep yep)

When things got hairy between you and me

I brushed it off like a pet groomer

Why would you let the Grammys that we got get to ya?

Why?


The kings and queens of a outdoor festival Like lollapalooza (Thats us)

But We Can't pack a club and that’s how they do’s us.

Like Flo Rida The way you
say things
change's everything

We spoke things that was ever green

But the industry said

Stop
So hip hop lets not
fight anymore more
We ain't got
All the time in the world
People
Dropping like flies
Can’t we realize

In the pop music scene man
All these G’s are calling me
And I’m looking at em like a Spam risk
And I don’t trust these big wigs
So I’m flaking on them like dandruff

4xs we platinum but they treating us like aluminum
cuz we couldn't keep the heat on our hits
Except for only a few of em

Hey hey hey

Lost my first brother at 22
(hey)
Lost my grandma the same week
(hey)
Last time I saw em was in Tennessee
(hey)
And that’s way more than a song to me (hey)

I keep ducking from the shots you're firing
I don't think that's what they meant by having my ducks in a row
What are yo desires?

We went on before you it was packed for us
but not packed for y'all
mental therapy is a thing
but this is a different approach to unpacking it all

We see you dropping like flies
Can’t we realize that we need to stop!

lets not
fight anymore more
We ain't got
All the time in the world no more
People
Dropping like flies
Can’t we realize that we need to stop!


Stop.
Yeah, We would communicate a lot
Yeah
I was so fixated on the top Yeah
You infatuated with a thot, Yeah
We were Skip and Shannon from the start
but you gave a Thot your heart, now we’re drifting apart Yeah
I was away and shh
You wasn’t ok with it
I wasn’t paying shh
You wasn’t saying shh.
Stop. Stop STOP
We going out on tours I thought you’d be happy for us but I bet..
But I bet
If we talk about awards and the tours you’ll get upset
You been hating way beyond 0 one in Gwinnett
When we reppin’ where we from you start feeling disrespect
If I’m sharing what we done, you get feelings of neglect
If I mention having fun, you start lunging for my neck..
I deflect (whew)
We got a couple Grammys
So promoters got their panties in bunches…
In bunches. Cause we’re screaming be United
So we never get invited to the brunches
Now I’m feeling slighted cause I really got the munchies
You were unexcited when you heard what we accomplished
It would be a fight if we decided to confront this…Punches. You don’t really want this.
Stop

Like MF Doom

back in his KMD days
Kausing much damage

We stay true

Motherland roots giving you the home advantage

We put it on like a sweater on Mr Rogers

They took our sense and gave us dollars


That's how far societies got us
from things that are actual and factual and rational yo

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

I’m charged up like a Tesla
Some playing pretend like a wrestler (hey)
I'm just trying to bring out the best in us
And they may divest - we invest in us
Anything that's not about excellence
we need to
stop



Let's not hurt each other no more
We ain't got
All the time in the world no mo
people
Dropping like flies
Shouldn’t we realize
that

We need to…
