Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mm, ay
My momma told me I should lead with love
My poppa told me not to trust in people, ay
I can't decide, I flip a coin, I toss it up
Heads I allow it, tails is fuck these people
Homie only round me 'cause my shit bang
And shorty only 'round me for the wristband
I haven't made my mind up, keep your distance
Keep your distance, keep your distance
[Verse 2]
Hey, I need more than 1.5
I'm pushing wide
Before, I never saw the signs
I wasn't wise
My poppa told me hundred times
Now I know why
Serpents coiling round my thighs
Open my eyes
Dick and Harry talkin' down
They tryna clown
No matter if I wear a suit
Or cap and gown
I'm thinkin' that I take control
I'm captain now
I'm cappin' all the numbers to the squad
I'm clamping down
[Verse 3]
My gut is screaming at me still
It's never chill
Notice when they take advantage
To bend your will
Pay them close attention
If their hands is on your door
And watch out for photographers
Who tryna off your clothes
[Verse 4]
Watch out for these snakes
Who busy running round the game
Break of day or dead of night
The theorem is the same
Focus less on mode of dress
And more on whose to blame
If this shit make you feel a way
Pray I don't get your name
[Verse 5]
My momma told me I should lead with love
My poppa told me not to trust in people, ay
I can't decide, I flip a coin, I toss it up
Heads, I allow it, tails is fuck these people
Homie only round me 'cause my shit bang
And shorty only round me for the wristband
I haven't made my mind up, keep your distance
Keep your distance, keep your distance
[Verse 6]
I ain't got all the answers, that's ok 'cause life ain't no quiz, so
I'ma stay on my tizzoes
Till my pockets healthy like Lizzo's
Check my steelo, the show's a stickup
I got 'em with they hands up
If you thinking you next
Then I'ma come through and fuck yo' plans up
Throw a spanner in your works
On my worst
Yeah, I know it hurt
Get the dough and skrrt
Keep it curt, I came from the dirt
I'm building from the ground up with them mud bricks
Come up taking hella time, but I don't ever come quick
[Verse 7]
Taking note of lessons learned and using them for substance
I'm making sure I stick, my whip won't turn back to no pumpkin
Eradicate naivety, making no more assumptions
No one owes me nothing
Building up that tough skin
That gravel mixed with tar, man
[Verse 8]
This the way it is, no wasting time wishing it wasn't
So hard to let the love in
I done went above and beyond
And it left me at the bottom
Fool me once then shame on you
Fool me twice, we got a problem
Oh my gosh
[Verse 9]
My momma told me I should lead with love
My poppa told me not to trust in people
I can't decide, I flip a coin, I toss it up
Heads I allow it, tails is fuck these people
Homie only round me 'cause my shit bang
And shorty only round me for the wristband
I haven't made my mind up, keep your distance
Keep your distance, keep your distance
