[Intro]
PULSE

[Verse 1]
Yeah
I am a misfit (ay)
Double my digits (ay)
Finger is itching (ay)
I need to risk it (ay)
Money my goal (uh yeah)
I had to grow up (yeah)
Now when I show up (ay)
Everyone knows us
I can't be mixing with peasants
I am the start and the ending (yeah)
They know I’m loud with my entrance
I come in hard with a vengeance
I get so caught up in venting (ay)
Time to calm down with my essence (ay)
No back and forth like it's tennis (ay)
I'll go in hard til’ the credits (ay)
Niggas they be ducking now they see that I'm around
If my label drops me then I might just break the ground
I don't think I'm stopping, I'm the killer of this sound
Go and clock my tour dates, you might see me in your town (yeah)

[Chorus]
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I’m making a killing, I gotta get paid

[Verse 2]
Phone rings, what’s that?
Sales on my website
Selling all the merch, I had on tour from my headline
We don't share the game with ops’, we keep it inside
All you motherfuckers come in last, you're so behind
Which pair of Versaces, I can't decide?
I can't ever do it, I’m not online
Ask me why I'm cocky? And I can't lie
All these fucking bangers on my hard drive
Yeah, I bagged up the game and I switched it (ay)
I treat the bag like a kick flip (ay)
Sometimes I gamble, risk it (ay)
(Okay)
I'll bet that heart where my fist is (ay)
If I go silent, it's building (hey)
They know I thrive off the real shit (ey)
Fuck the remorse and just kill it (ey)
I just completed my mission

[Chorus]
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid
Making a killing, I'm making a killing, I gotta get paid

[Outro]
Hahahaha
(Yeah)
"I will"
