Song lyrics
(Seagulls, water, bells)
Heaving breathing, panting
(One shot, one kill)
Okay
Guess who's back, it ain't a fucking question
They know the name, bow in the presence of a living legend
Fuck what you heard, it's murder murder, you gon' need protection
Some niggas blinded, couldn't see
So look for me to come and give direction
Who hold the crown, it ain't no conversation
I'm being modest should be silent 'less you paying homage
Remain the hottest, niggas can't stop us, that's just being honest
And making hits, I never had problems much in that department
Don't get me started, don't compare me to the newest nigga
For every one of you, there's a hundred more
And I watch them come and go, my track record ain't coincidental
And these verses is like hearses
Consistently killing y'all with instrumentals
Tell me, fuck what would y'all do without me?!
Kill yourself for even thinking something crazy 'bout me
I'm like Ali, your fucking champ, now watch me rope a dope
Just watch him choke, cause everything I drop is dope
Now watch 'em all go up in smoke
I came here to raise hell, I can't lie
One shot, one kill, it's real, I ain't hiding
Don't shoot one shot if you ain't ready to die
And never get it fucked up, I got shooters for hire
Cause you don't want it, I have you like aye aye
Better back the fuck up, over guns so I try
Now that weak shit will never slide, I despise
You are now not in the presence of nice guys
Look, what the fuck, I was just chilling in the cut
Ain't no beginners, only winners run amok, you runners up
You funny fuck like twenty bucks, I know your slut will let me fuck
I told my city "Hold me down," now look how high they hold me up
I'm Kobe clutch, I hold my nuts 'fore I was old enough to cuss
Was kissing bitches after lunch, now that's a motherfucking rush
So by high school I was fucking niggas' bitches on the hush
So no questions and no panties is a motherfucking must
It's the people's rapper, I ain't no rapper, I'm the rapture
On the morning after, you lacking passion, you ain't rap
You just a wack distraction, I can't relax cause I feel the magic smashing
Toni Braxton, where your sisters at? Let's get it cracking (Bo!)
Look, I was young, I was broke, had no hope, so I wrote
That's how I cope, I went hard with no results
New approach, same truth, just get ready, aim, shoot
Then get buried, bang, woof, so they better bring troops
Because
I came here to raise hell, I can't lie
One shot, one kill, it's real, I ain't hiding
Don't shoot one shot if you ain't ready to die
And never get it fucked up, I got shooters for hire
Cause you don't want it, I have you like aye aye
Better back the fuck up, over guns so I try
I had weak shit, we'll never slide, I despise
You are now not in the presence of nice guys
It's fucking murder, baby
I'm tryna hurt 'em, baby
I know you heard me, baby
Feel like I'm going crazy
It's fucking murder, baby
Run, run, run, the cops almost got me
Another tear drop, another motherfucking body
Uh, uh, uh, another fucking body
Uh, uh, uh, another body
Uh, uh, uh, another body
Uh, uh, uh, another body
Uh, uh, uh, another body
Uh, uh, uh, another fucking body, body
