[Verse 1]
Who gave the ball to these n*ggas
I never pass it like classic Kobe or AI
We taking over now
Ain't no please maybes or may I's
Figured I'll be the goat
So with everything that quote
I give these n*ggas the ghost
Every time I rap is a séance
Hope you saying your prayers
Exercising the hell in me
Excrement equal excellence
Eloquent verbal felonies
Never lost in the sauce
But I'm steady lost in the melody
Grew up right by the magic
I sit and pen what it's telling me
Painting pictures of passion
These n*ggas paint by the numbers
Cold as Chicago winters
And hotter than Florida summers
These Rappers is so ubiquitous
Swear they come in a bundle
Know they never could stick with us
Lock em all in a tunnel
And throw the heads into paper bags
They couldn't rap out
I'm sting out the rafters
Plan is to make em tap out
Know I got the light
But all I know is to black out
My a-cappella
Make em akinyele
When they ak (act) out
Killing since 91
That's the year of my birth n*gga
Dawgs eat in the end
We dont ever desert n*ggas
Sleeping all on the job
But we fully alert n*gga
Tryna pop me a band
Ain't poppin no percs n*gga
You po up a 4
Watch me pour aquafina
Yo patnas get booked
Watch em sing like Selena
My patnas get booked
And it might be arenas
Can't play with you n*ggas
Like Gilbert arenas aw yeah
[Chorus]
What is you talking bout
My n*ggas
Ain't dropping out
I won't quit till I'm dead
I took another route
I took another route
Aiming straight for the head
Verse 2:
And my girl hella bad yeah
I'm a brag yeah
Ain't nobody in her class yeah
Had to bag dat
Outkast dropping bombs
Like it's over Baghdad
Running with my day 1
Never come in last yeah
I been running through the city
Like the city is mine
Got my sights on the future
Like Nayvadius eyes
Ain't nobody too surprised
When an idiot dies
I Rather hear the ugly truth
Than the Hideous lies
Now I been living life like 26 years
Prolly only cried like 26 tears
I been hitting switches
On my 26th gear
All I wanted was a Chevy
On 26's
Now I see clearer
My vision to buy the whole block up
Keep these young n*ggas out of lock up
Learn to seize a good thing
When you see it pop up
And keep the flow like cocaine when it rock up
It's crack n*gga
[Chorus]
What is you talking bout
My n*ggas Ain't dropping out
I won't quit till I'm dead
I took another route
I took another route
Aiming straight for the head
[Bridge]
All of my homies is out of the basement
Out of the basement yeah
We saw yo bar
And then figured we'd raise it
Figured we'd raise it yeah
All of my homies is out of the basement
Out of the basement yeah
I got a dream
And I figure I'll chase it
Figure I'll chase it yeah
[Chorus]
What is you talking bout
My n*ggas ain't dropping out
I won't quit till I'm dead
I took another route
I took another route
Aiming straight for the head
