Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know
Yup
It's easy
As you make it
Look
[Verse 2]
Architect the way I take it to extreme measures
Sometimes you gotta break your life down to build it better
The game softened up, a lot of time to add some pressure
A lot of peers, we ain't spoke in years
Yeah, you can go
Pretend like I ain't here, but that just shows me how much y'all threatened
Y'all new music, don't ask me how I feel about it
Don't got problems being real, I got real problems
Old school, top down, sliding to Phil Collins (Swerve)
And, God, my Phil Jackson
And somehow he blessed me with Uncle Phil's wallet
But my other Uncle Sam in my pocket, it's like I'm philanthropic
I'm blessed though, he only taking it because I got it
Look, if I peel out, I squeeze, I hype and go beast
You boys is hypebeasts (Sheesh)
You boys light, I move at light speed
So rooted, hurricane to me is a light breeze
Watch me, fuck TV, but the way I channel sh-
Yeah, more like a conduit
Plus it's going gold if I ever put palms to it
And I did my whole career in napalm fluid
[Verse 3]
So we the ones that blowed up, y'all **** blew it
Bet on me to never fail, that never fails, that's how we do it
You don't have the right to hate on me, unless you took your mama out of hell
Then in the hills, then move her to it
And the way I dealt with love is like I get consumed
By girls who never satisfied with everything I'm doing
It's like once I give 'em space, they gon' want the moon
Shit, I'm already a star, what more can I do?
The world pick me, must have good taste and be picky
I'm that **** for real, I don't know what it's like for girls not to want me
Only know what it's like when they miss me
You either believe it or not, it's not Ripley's
Late night studio sessions, our stomachs would touch backs
No matter how far ahead, the clique, yeah, we touch back
It's been looking up out whole lives, we'll never have hunchbacks
Leaving everybody where they had me fucked up at
Mountaintop views where the inspiration spews
Sometimes when you lose that's when innovation cues
Everybody favorites, just imitation yous
Talking in the mirror more than occasional
'Cause that's the only one who going to relate to you
'Cause you the one
For real
