All due respect

[Verse 1]

So, if it's all due respect

I ain't givin' it at all

Never took a L, though I got some wins in a row

They wanna see me in a hole, or see me outta my soul

Wanna see me off of my square and see me outta control

I got visions of villas with marbled columns and stairs

But what you get from the top is what you get from the root

If God made us in His image, then I'm reppin' the truth

I'm gettin' high like I'm wearin' my boots

Feelin' free as a bird, seein' clear as the flute

Makin' all my wrongs right like I'm movin' a rook

Tryin' to get my mind right, I'm in need of a book

If I'm wearin' the crown, then you might be the rook

When the tables turn, you can call me the cook

But in the end, I'm just me, I ain't gon' be a crook

Or maybe not, maybe that's what they thought

They can't ever leave me alone, I'm somethin' they can't afford

Said I don't talk to my fam', so now they think I'm in gangs

I guess if I ever change, that's the cost of the chain

But I guess that's what I get when I'm talkin' to change

What would happen to your mind if I gave you my brain?

The world's a crazy place, just keep a lid on it

It's all about your top, it ain't what's in it

It's the picture you paint, not the image

When you in the kitchen, it's how you cook it, not the dinner

I'm cold as a blizzard, never fold or I quiver

Turnin' bold into glitter, turnin' souls into silver

I put a hole in the river, the world revolves around truth

I gotta show 'em the pivot, I'm just that dude

Guess it's hard to admit it, but I don't care

I'm in my prime, you could say that I'm near the equator

I'm real life, you could say that you see Darth Vader

I'm self-centered

 

[Verse 2]

My rap stats like high school

Crib decorated with awards like living room, nice views

My money look like art, they imitate my life too

The irony, your big homie imitate my moves

My money got power, it's my best friend

My car speak Spanish, it get the front in

I put up the Tesla, pull out the 'Burban

So many imitators, I should plan it on purpose

Say you getting chicken, that's turducken

Three different birds, two of 'em ain't worth nothing

My money tall, what’s a recession?

Your account can't breathe, I could see your money suffocating

In my bag like a lunch, this ain't lunch money

"How'd you get all that out a booth?" Ask the tooth fairy

Looking for a handout, where you from? Who your plug? Who your family?

Never mind, I'm just practicing my jokes for the Grammys

My career more Christopher Reeve than it’s ever been

Except now I’m hangin' with Gatorade

‘Cause I got ten of 'em

White Spider-Man lookin’ like Jack Harlow

When I climb a building

People claim I’m stingy with my essence

Said I want the attention, nah, for real, you just wanna drain my energy

I’m gone 'til November, like Wyclef

Like I hit a fly on the wall with the fly swat

Some people findin’ out that I got all my flies swatted

If I gotta walk on hot coals, I’ll just fly above it

Who needs breathin' room when you're ahead of it

Above it, outside it, wait, what’s a bigger picture?

Oh, and I’m a leader to my people like Kratos

I mean, nah, for real, it’s like Plato

Would you rather play with or play in?

tryna start somethin’

From nothin’, and I couldn’t be prouder

I’m chancellor

My rise to power looks like the Titanic from the iceberg’s point of view

Mmh, I can’t see you through the chip

I had the windows cracked, but now the shards are few

 

[Verse 3]

Okay, I'm back again

Stop frontin', if it ain't about success, my friend

If it ain't on the menu, then it ain't on the plate

The truth is so hard to swallow, it's a hater's taste

I'm bakin' cakes, a.k.a. I'm makin' bakes

A bay in Bae for days, she the bass, I'm 808s

They hatin' on me, 'cause they know they ain't got no space

I need at least eight states for my estate

It's not a drill, 'cause the base is real

Put my soul in a song and my face in the steel

Lived in Paris for two weeks, ate pâté, c'est bon

Make a major statement, please play my playlist

I'm so fresh, I'm so cool, please play my fragrance

I do me, do what I do but it's not okay to be shameless

Do what you do, but stay true, and I bet you make it

ARYEH season approachin', they won't stop me from eatin'

I'm the breath of fresh air the industry breathin'

A lot of legends alive, a lot of legacies leavin'

You can't take it with you, and so I can't keep it

Yeah, the boy been busy, a boy in business

In the lab, in the kitchen, cookin' up what's missin'

Stop waitin' for the answers and just live the question

Keep your chin up, ten toes down, and hope for the best

I think that I might be just like the most

And if you gettin' high and mighty, then we all just ghosts

And I can be the one to tell you when your time is close

That you just be another one of those
