[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
Call me the general
[?]
For my millennials, for the youth and the fellas too
Trying to be perennial, but chances of living is minimal
She critical, exactly what made my n***as criminals
Typical America, damn sure ain't no miracle
Word to Steezy, Imma keep this sh** lyrical
Til' I fall out my physical
All of my verses is biblical
Flowing religiously, my delivery is spiritual
Feelin' invincible, this sh** ain't nothing new
This is just principle, take those [?] with you
They say I'm a closer king, how I be dropping j**els
But see the funny thing is I got lots to lose
Having no f**s to give, only one life to live
So I can change my negative to positive
And it's all
Good Lord
The pen is way mightier than the sword
Who want war? I told you before
[Pre-hook] x2
How I kick in the door
With the rugged war, back it's the [?] store
What you n***as come across?
Guess I'm a veteran, you just a come up
I can teach you a lesson
How to get your hunger up?
Homie ya
[Hook] x2
Badmon we a run tings
We never let the tings run we
All the gals [?]
[?]
[Verse 2: Styles P]
Super predator, filthy America
Burn the newspapers and the editors
My dead president ain't dead enough
[?] zip for the head, still lean red enough
Pray to Jesus, hope he got you
[?] chicken [?]
n***as built the country but never getting their props
Paying for my people, I'm still payin' for my pops dues
I'm royalty, my momma said it
I'm gold hearted, I'm [?]
Lost soul in a promised land of promises
Gotta mask on, but no I'm not anonymous
Built on my lonely, no accomplices
Light an L up for my accomplishments
I'm a real n***a, it's not a lot of them
If they were, then the cops probably shot them
[Hook] x2
[Samples & Scratches]
[Verse 3: Joey Bada$$]
Yeah
Start the grabs in my chamber land
Ain't nothing colder than New York when that December ends
The coldest shoulders
From average joes and the simple mans
I pack the heat cause I'm known to be simmering
That mean I'm finna hit the ball and point like real soon
Man, I've been heating up
My self esteem on the move
The flow is out of the volcanic craters near the equator
Any debaters is simply haters
They know that I'm greater
I be countin' my paper, forever f** all the majors
Did it all on my own, don't owe nobody no favors
It's clear, I'm heir to the throne
I've been the best in my zone
Internationally known, forever Brooklyn's own
I mean
But here's for the Presidents, the Congressmen, the Senators
Who got us all slaving while they reaping all the benefits
Half of the world think it's the truth of what they said of us
America's worst nightmare, a super predator
