Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
And be more grateful
Yeah
[Chorus]
Patient when the paper low, nathin’ for a basic ho
Never been a super man, ain’t been tryna save a ho
Enough of this for all of us, the fuck you niggas waitin’ on?
Baby kept it realer with you, other niggas fake it, though
[Verse 1]
I let you see a nigga lose, I took my losses like a G
I showed them niggas how to do it, you watched them niggas copy me
Y’all think this shit a fuckin’ game, try that shit and watch and see
Just put my voice on top of the beat, none of you niggas toppin’ me
I bought the Maybach car in August, double back and bought the Jeep
A hundred shots inside the cars, it’s push to start, don’t got no key
Said what they gon’ do to me, I told them niggas, “Talk is cheap”
Would have been the biggest in the world, but I told ’em, “I ain’t got no fee to sell my soul”
Ain’t a check alive can make me come off what I’m standin’ on
Yeah, I still survived and it’s fuck all of y’all
I stand alone before I let ’em handle me
If a hundred million make ’em gay, that nigga ain’t no man to me
Fuck that nigga, be yourself, thuggin’, I don’t need no help
Comfortable, I keep it, yeah, fuck with me, they see the belt
I asked the mirror on the wall like, “Who the fuck you think the best?
Who gon’ give they people help?” I looked up and I see myself, nigga
Yeah
Look
[Chorus]
Patient when the paper low, nathin’ for a basic ho
Never been a super man, ain’t been tryna save a ho
Enough of this for all of us, the fuck you niggas waitin’ on?
Baby kept it realer with you, other niggas fake it, though
[Verse 2]
Y’all let them niggas lead you wrong, they told you you ain’t need my songs
A lot of y’all had took the bait, apologize, like, “Leave me ‘lone”
I thought I was supposed to keep it real, I found out I ain’t even know
We all saw ’em hide my ticket sales, it was hard for y’all to see my show
Dirty game, they play it raw
Ain’t even wanna do this shit no more, I had to shake it off
God gave me a gift, and I’ll be damned I let ’em make me soft
Be damned if I let ’em make me quit
Them devils still can’t stand the way I stand in here and make these hits
That nigga, baby
Said that they need real music, I said, “Okay, come get it, baby”
My daughters knew they daddy was that nigga when they was still a baby
I’ma take my losses, hold it down and never let you feel it, baby
Don’t no one keep it realer, baby, yeah
[Chorus]
Patient when the paper low, nathin’ for a basic ho
Never been a super man, ain’t been tryna save a ho
Enough of this for all of us, the fuck you niggas waitin’ on?
Baby kept it realer with you, other niggas fake it, though
