[Verse 1]
Walked in scanning the room for human shields
Victory Formation only time he ever kneels
Re-education camp greeter, name tag says Bill
"Is this your first time in the killing fields?
We're not trying to reinvent the wheel"
You gon' get this work
Look alive!
Like botched drug deal team building exercise
Big ice, orange zest, no peel
Old-Fashioned how he kept it really real
Losing sponsors, press release says "I'm too ill"
Not responsible for my comments
Face turn heel
Don't let your Happy Meal congeal laying there killed
By the cops
Juvenile record unsealed before the body drops
News coverage reset your body clock
Now you know the time lightbulb moment
White supremacy the worthiest of opponents
Exchanged jerseys and shook hands
"Both teams played hard, my man!"
[Hook x4]
A couple flavors
A couple favors
A cup of coffee in the majors
Today's paper
[Verse 2]
Ten years old, phone calls, heavy breathing
Mom said, "No more lies or I'm leaving"
Rang again, she screamed he walked out
Came back that evening
Last time they ever called the house
Apple didn't fall far, I'm at the bar like butter
Wouldn't melt in her mouth
Land o' Lakes, one sip, the hand don't shake
Shoebox full of dollar-short, day-late plea cops
Brought it to the wake
Coming in hot
My wave point break under the radar
Over the treetops
Cut the cake, ate it too, she spit on it for lube
I'm the smartest dummy in the room
Daydreaming, night fiending like something
You could cook in a spoon
Running on fumes desert island on horizon
Not a moment too soon
She rode a broom through the gloom but I
Was happier marooned
Hid from the searchlights, rescue flights packed in
Waterpipe
Hemingway shotguns through the nose
Ghost's voice, Rae's flow
The devil you know
[Hook x4]
