We play chess while they play checkers
Wait, wait, wait, whoa
Wait, wait, wait, no
Wait, wait, wait, ohhh
Wait, wait, wait, go
Bounce, bounce, bounce, pause
Bounce, bounce, bounce, nah
Bounce, bounce, bounce, y'all
Better stop that bouncing shit if you ain't gon' ride for the cause
Rappers be yapping 'bout nonsense
Bout trapping and stacking a profit
But tap in back of their pockets
Now they act like now they ain't got it
Nigga you fake
The fuck out my face
Hmm…
You was thug in your skits
Constantly busting your shit
But when a real gunna walked in
Then you start mumbling quick
Now what did you say?
Yeah…
The fuck out my face
I ain't got no time and don't fear what I'm seeing
When they're capping in their rhymes and be weirdos when I see 'em
They be staring in my eyes, steady viewing where I'm leaning
Tryna see if I'll respond to the clues they be leaving
I ain't gon' judge ya
I'ma still love ya
Cause you're my brotha
Though undercover
But I'ma tell you so you can know whassup
If you don’t stop coming at me you'll get cut up
I always subconsciously flow on the deep in
I'm a product of NOI teachings
And I pop it when I'm on the defense
So stop it, before you start leaking
Listen and wait
Wait, wait, wait, whoa
Wait, wait, wait, no
Wait, wait, wait, ohhh
Wait, wait, wait, go
Bounce, bounce, bounce, pause
Bounce, bounce, bounce, nah
Bounce, bounce, bounce, y'all
Better stop that bouncing shit if you ain't gon' ride for the cause
Now... if one of your hitters
Get done up, I figure
Ain't none of you niggas gon' do shit
But to keep running ya lips
And then something you mentioned
Means none of you niggas gon' prove it
Y'all niggas useless
Ain't no excuses
What you gon' do when they're coming to shoot us
Raising your hands in the air when they move in
Steadily killing us off in the news clip
We become target practice
Small disasters
Psychologically arm the masses
Storm the castles
Call they're asses out
And tell 'em that they all are trash
I've never been afraid to convey what's on my mind
I was born into a place where they hate us by design
But I'm a man now
And I stand out
With no hands out
On my own
Lay my plans out
And expand out
Til my brand's bout to be known
Now they're saying I'm toxic
Cause I'm raising my son as a masculine father
I ain't gon' sway on that topic
But teach him respect anybody else option
I ain't no savage
Just a man who understands habits
Never been average
I rise above the quo status
Never I play
And I do whatever I say
I ain't never been fake
So you should listen and wait, hol’up
Wait, wait, wait, whoa
Wait, wait, wait, no
Wait, wait, wait, ohhh
Wait, wait, wait, go
Bounce, bounce, bounce, pause
Bounce, bounce, bounce, nah
Bounce, bounce, bounce, y'all
Better stop that bouncing shit if you ain't gon' ride for the cause
