Paroles

[Verse 1]
Yeah, levitatin' off the blacktop
Used to struggle gettin' started, now I can't stop
Used to be the quiet kid in the sandbox
Now it's hands up every time that your man rocks
You oughta stop me comin' in again
You mad? You thought we were synonyms?
Too bad, that's the water you're gettin' in
You're too fat for the sharks that you're swimmin' in
From where I'm sittin', contenders are lookin' like fruit
Spinnin' around in a blender
Hardly a snack when I'm here lookin' for dinner
I eat 'em, delete 'em, they're barely beginners
Main course is my main sport
Play major but Minor's my main Fort
Put a chain around everything I came for
Look but don't touch, sucka
[Verse 2]
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Say they want respect, now
Thinkin' they deserve to have it next, now
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Believin' what they're makin' up
Talkin' loud but never really sayin' much
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
I been drawin' plans out
And they think I'm givin' them a handout?
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Thinkin' they're entitled to a piece? No
I don't think so
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
[Verse 3]
Levitatin' in a blackout
Used to drink at least a 40 'fore we mashed out
Used to think that workin' 40 was a max-out
Now I'm workin' even when I'm sleepin'
Do the math now
'Cause even when I'm sleepin', eyes, keep 'em open
It's repped across and both the color of your hemoglobin
A huge act, man, like I'm known for bein' Logan
Next twenty-three, I'm keen to leave 'em with a femur broken
Takin' it too far? Maybe, friends like
"Mike, I don't know who you are lately"
But pride and hate has made naysayers mistake me
For wastin' brain space on ratings they gave me?
I don't need your respect, I got history
I'm '81 Reagan with that nonsense, miss me
Father like Frances, Anakin or John Misty
Not to be touched, sucka
[Verse 4]
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Say they want respect, now
Thinkin' they deserve to have it next, now
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Believin' what they're makin' up
Talkin' loud but never really sayin' much
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
I been drawin' plans out
And they think I'm givin' them a handout?
Tell 'em take an I.O.U.
Thinkin' they're entitled to a piece? No
I don't think so
Tell 'em take an I.O.
