[Intro]
Shouts out to my guitarist
Red flame devil music
You know I love y'all and I just gotta keep it real
It's how I feel sometimes
Yeah

[Verse]
Will you remember me?
A centipede a lot of legs
A lot of bread
I ran a lot of marathons
Still hot I'm still young
Livin' reckless, outta my mind
People respect it
I'm like check it
Count the blessings
Erase the suckers time on time
Makin' hustles
Had to play and struggle
Beat the bosses and take losses
Had to bounce back harder than ever
Once shit crosses
Over my dead body
This based body shotty through eight bodies
Prodigy, jeans probably
Niggas try and stop it
Gettin' Oscars
Mob boss lil boss
Tryin' to find my way through
Manuever
Way past the sharks cuttin' niggas off
Like a doctor
Surgical the way I take it off 'em
Coming with the dufflebag the same color as coffee
In my hood we gotta hear this
Like killas in Marcy
Not glorifyin' the hood
But this shit'll pause 'em
Niggas is killin' little kids in drive-bys, you salty
I don't respect your game
I got rules and I start 'em
I used to smoke my own dope
Sell a zip and charge 'em
It's that hustle, my hustle, its the customers
Cops who bust it up for celebration
For the growth the save they self
Hittin' licks solo
I'm good by my damn self
Fuck niggas I swear to god
Fake killas play life chess pieces
Fuck being the realist
Niggas is iller
And I still kill it
But I'm the illest and I'm the realest
To ever do it
This is way past music
Nigga this is some Moses on the track
Nigga watch me do it
Lil Boss

[Outro]
Thank y'all for downloadin' that Red Flame Devil Music
And thank you for listenin' to me right now
I want to tell you, Illusions of Grandeur is comin'
This is a secret
Listen to the based
I love you from my heart
Fuck the mainstream
I'm never sellin' out
I'ma do me
I love y'all man
Based for life
Thank y'all for lovin' me
I appreciate that, that's from the heart
I love y'all for lovin' me
Thank you so much man, for real
Without y'all, I wouldn't be nothin'
And anybody that's listenin' to this right now
This is rare and this is real special
Know that without you, Lil B, the Basedgod
Nobody, I love you

Lil B

Brandon Christopher McCartney (b. August 17, 1989), better known by his stage name Lil B, is a rapper coming out of Berkeley, California. He began his career as a member of the Bay Area collective The Pack.

Following some success with The Pack, most notably the song “Vans,” Lil B started his solo career with the album I’m Thraxx.

Lil B’s follow up project, 6 Kiss, dropped in 2009 and helped solidify him as an internet legend. Often considered the first real “cloud rap” album, songs like “I’m God” and “Birth of Rap (B.O.R)” helped turn both Lil B and producer Clams Casino into blog-darlings. Lil B’s bars flowed freely over Clam’s spacious beats in a way that would go on to influence many artists who come after them.
