[Produced by Metro Boomin] Metro Boomin want some more n***a [Verse 1: Nyck Caution] I run around through the night like I'm nocturnal Running raw through the wife when she not fertile Everybody in my high school, sh**ting on me rapping Wished we would've swapped journals I am not the flop, I learned that when the block was hot And Lil Wayne got me thinking that I got this A little pain gonna happen in the process But a little change gonna happen after all that Now I'm thinking back like I once did Back when I thought I could run sh** Summer camp getting higher than bunk beds Summer plans getting fly for the function You know that I was getting by as a young kid Back when everything was blissful Back when everything was so simple But everything don't last forever I break bread with the fans, bring cats together Little different than my last direction But the flow is like a blast Beretta A couple shots, put him down like an anesthetic And now you way too fast to get up About time Nyck told y'all that About time, Nyck cold and the world know that If you see me around the block I don't owe you dap World cla** in my verse, you can hold your gla** Cause we good [Hook: Nyck Caution] Ya'll know the name I said what's understood Don't gotta be explained Met-Metro, Metro Boomin want some more Went to school ain't wanna go So I started dropping out And instead I hit that road Now this life is all I f**ing know You took a shot You missed and can't reload Boy I swear to god, I took this to my grave What's understood don't gotta be explained [Bridge] I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know [Verse 2: Joey Bada$$] Back in the booth on my boss sh** It's a new year, I'm on my boss sh** Got the news, they need more sh** Dropped my debut, been on tour since Tell the truth, man I really hate to dispute Name another yout that really did it on his own No majors, no cosign at all Just labor and raising the bar Still ain't enough to get invited to awards Like I still ain't get a nut and I've been going this hard f** it I'ma pull up to awards with the squad Slamming the door, shooting up stars Who want war bet they don't want none Who, what, when, where, why, go run Catch a motherf**er like Ricky with his gun With a .22 b**h, ain't 22 yet Everyday trying to live, Russian roulette Just turned 21, I be forever young I be the greatest one, he told me to my face Patience is key, you gonna be straight How many times you gonna be late? Miss my chance? Oh no, not me Shift my stance and go the right way Took one glance and saw the right thing I could give a f** what they say about me They ain't making nothing, they ain't taking my cheese I ain't gotta forfeit, I done get those hoes to leave To the water, don't you order take a motherf**ing drink Guess eyes roll cause they more like sheep There's stress in the belly of the beast For generation X, to generation Y, to generation Z-Z-Z Y'all n***as is sleep And I pray that they're ready when the war time In the belly of the beast with the pork rinds Barely in the street, n***a f** 12 Seen the cameras on me when I touched down Feds watching, please believe it Don't share my business with social media n***as devious, they can't eat with us Went around starting fake beef with us And this life [Hook: Nyck Caution] Is all I f**ing know You took a shot You missed and can't reload Boy I swear to god, I took this to my grave What's understood, don't gotta be explained [Bridge] I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know if you gotta go I don't wanna know
