Lyrics

I just wanna be something, I wanna shoot for the stars
Look at what I'm becoming I be flippin' the cards
And both sides of the coin just really shows who we are
Could be thriving here on Earth but now they send us to Mars
They showing all this math to show how stupid we are
While they're kissing cold aluminum all night at the bar
I celebrate my nights with a blazing cigar If I'm Aladdin, you're the parrot sitting
Atop of Jafar
Walked in, owned the places like I had a conscience
All this, boy, I'm coming straight out of my pockets
Called it, had to take it off like I'm a rocket
Shocked shit, like a little kid next to the socket
Bopped it, master of the games they call me Prophet
Dropped shit, aiming for the head without a conflict
Shot it, gave up all my change to make a profit
Bought it, traded out the fade for goldy locks shit
I'm a man on a mission, I'll keep reaching for the stars no matter if I keep missing
And I ain't never gonna stop because I'm no expedition
And if I lose it ain't a loss because I'll learn to keep winning
Shootin' for the top because I'm done reminiscing
And know I'm tired of the snakes because they always keep hissing
My nose about to shine because I'm done with the kissing
And I ain't talking about your ass because your mouth did the shitting
Three, two, one, Houston, we got a problem
One, two, three, I'm the man that's gonna solve them
Take my life, go ahead because I'm haunting
I hear your thoughts, now I'm tired and I'm yawning
Fall in line, don't take a chance, you a robot
Terminator vibes, I'll take you out with a bow shot
I wanna let you know since you think that you're so hot
I was talking with your girl, she said you never hit her G-spot
Only way I'm going out is if I get stopped
And I won't shy away from music just because I get mocked
The amount of disrespect you give is the way to get blocked
You better quit while you're ahead before you get your shit rocked
And I really hope you're taking that rocket to Mars
And I really hope you bandage up all of your scars
But the next time that I wish upon a shooting star
I'll make a wish that you will never unhear these bars
I'm gonna float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
You wanna fight, I'll take you out like Muhammad Ali
And I'll give you one fair warning, something I guarantee
I'll trap your body in the ground and let your soul fly free
You're not a warrior, bitch, you hide behind a keyboard
You're looking for a prize, hear the lyrics, that's your reward
You claim that you're a gangster, so I put this song in G-chord
I fire off these rounds with a pen and then press record
Three, two, one, turn around I'm waving bye, bitch
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying and I got a side stitch
I throw these lyrics on a beat and call it the goodbye bridge
I modified the snare with a bass, call it my side switch
Sprinkle on guitar, then some bells, screamin' blast off
Reaching for the bag all alone with my mask off
Runnin' on your ass with runny nose and a bad cough
Remember what I said about your girl, she said, you mad soft
