They say you gotta say nice things

Say you gotta say nice things

You guilty if you got nice things

Guilty if you got nice things

But you know when they come for the ring

And they shoot for the king

I'ma stay feeling something

They say you gotta say nice things

Don't say nothing

I wish you off of your lying shit

My name in your mouth is you high as shit

I'ma stay focused on me and on my own shit

I am a tiger, a lion

And I don't sit down for no one

I ain't never had no handout in my day, nah

See you emptied out your wallet with the shade, bro

See my mama did me solid when she raised no fool

Took my hand, she said, she said, darling

Don't let em see you falling

Don't let em see you falling

Don't sink you down

They gon' say what they need to say to be okay

They feed your name and that's just good for you

If I had my vote

I had so many no's for you

Instead, I just hope for you

They say you gotta say nice things

Say you gotta say nice things

You guilty if you got nice things

Guilty if you got nice things

But you know when they come for the ring

And they shoot for the king

I'ma stay feeling something

They say you gotta say nice things

Don't say nothing

I got a working hypothesis

You thinking, lurking, and gossiping, working

No mas, so watch, it's the opposite

Curbing your worth at a deficit

First, let me preface this verse

With some requisites

You take what you fake with your reckless shit

Zero from zero's the estimate

Fear of the mirror's the lesson

You just don't hear it

Stay sleep while I work

See how I walk with my chin up

You just woke up while I been up

I made it through and I didn't even do

All the heinous bull that your name has been through

You can google me, too

And the photos and the news on the pinups

This be the face of a winner

I am not your enemy

They're staring right back at you

Your energy's just veering off track

And I don't need that

I'll give you some feedback

Been too busy building you up

You ain't gotta come for me

She said they gonna sink their claws in

Right when they see you bossing

Right when they see you bossing

Don't sink you down

They're gon say what they need to say

To be okay

They feed your name

And that's just good for you

If I had my way I have so much to say

Only instead I'm just praying for you

They say you gotta say nice things

Say you gotta say nice things

Guilty if you got nice things

They say you're guilty if you got nice things

But you know when they come for the ring

And they shoot for the king

I'ma stay feeling something

They say you gotta say nice things

But don't say nothing
