[Intro]
Cb Fm Cb Fm
 
[Verse 1]
CbMy niggas be smokin' on somethin' loud
FmHead to the clouds I ain't been steppin' out
CbTired of stickin' out in the crowd This world is changin
FmRight in front of me And gray hairs I'm agin
 
Quicker than I thought I'd be
 
[Chorus]
Cb Fm Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
FmStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
 
[Verse 2]
CbPlease believe these flows teach egos to freeze and then reseed I'm
Fm
G4 beneath your
 
Jeep the second you turn that key
 
Holdin' heat blows your weak flows right out the water
CbThe father boy
 
I work smarter and harder
FmMy style got a restraining order don't bother
 
I charter unseen territories in order
 
To push it farther than you niggas had ever thought of
CbI caught a lot of murder charges turn artists to martyrs When
 
I rock thot turns to goddess
FmFiends turn to kings dreams turn to things tangible
 
My hands are full with grands
CbI pull from stanzas No
 
I can't Go slow I'm Sandra Boyle
FmEither proceed with speed or don't breathe
 
Snow creed a color that won't heed to the warning
 
The planet is shaped when
 
I'm performing
Cb Tectonic plates from a place with text on their waist
FmSo stay safe or get left with chest on your face
 
As death waits for your last breath
 
I'mma pass the test Yes
CbI'm a master chef wanna taste and pay for it
 
They claim they're real but they're seldom straight for it
 
The pain
FmI feel on my frame gets transmuted to a dangerous flame
 
I spit fire at the devil while the angels sang
CbThe flow changed but remains the same
 
I'm playing
 
Jane out of chain on my net with shine like baguettes
FmAshamed not to flex to rhyme like the rest
 
My mind's quite depressed if
CbI don't write I'm Spike
 
Lee of the audio back in my barrio
 
Parties got shout outs so
FmI built up all my cardio
 
Dodge shells collect coins like a Mario
 
But this is not a gaming experience
 
I'm serious nigga
 
[Chorus]
Cb Fm Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
FmStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
 
[Verse 3]
CbMy niggas be smokin' on somethin' loud
FmHead to the clouds I ain't been steppin' out
CbTired of stickin' out in the crowd This world is changin
FmRight in front of me And gray hairs I'm agin
 
Quicker than I thought I'd be
 
[Verse 4]
 
Cb I'm that bass in your trunk the bullet that missed Trump
 
The gun that jammed cause it seemed
 
God had other plans
FmThe son of man extending his hand the son of
 
Sam in forgiveness For all of the homicides we witnessed
CbThe over-dramatized the traumatized with sickness
 
Thrown in a pan and caramelized for richness
FmAnd served on a plate with sirloin steak
 
To billionaires who don't care the world's gonna break
CbLong as they make money off it pain brings profit
 
One man gains it soon as the next man lost it
FmThere's a bridge you can walk to hear God talk
 
But there are real slim odds a rich man crosses
CbCause greed is a poison
 
Indeed as it spreads like weeds through the mind's apple trees
FmI proceed with caution and
 
I'm not flossing
 
Unlike some
 
I'm not defined by my fortune
CbI'm defined by rhymes though
 
I'm in my prime
 
There was times that
 
I was down cause I thought I lost it
FmBut no lo and behold as my poetry grows
 
I give all glory to
 
God as the story unfolds
CbAnd the gray hairs that grow on my head will show
 
Ain't no time limit to get it you ain't never too old
FmSo keep hold of your dream no matter how it seems
 
If you don't water your lawn well then it won't stay green
CbI seen babies turn fiends addicted to the screen
 
The dad shares cashiers replaced by machines
FmDon't buy subscribe so you can just
 
Your content like rent you won't own a thing
CbBefore long all the songs the whole world sings
 
Will be generated by latest of AI regimes
FmAs all of our favorite artists are raced by a scream
 
From the wayside hey whatever happened to human beings
 
[Chorus]
Cb Fm Straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
FmStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
CbStraight up, straight up, straight up, straight up, straight up
 
[Outro]
My niggas be smokin' on something loud
