Lyrics From Previews

[Chorus]
If I say so, know they gon' ride
I know G's and you know they ain't nice
Tell my mamma, I don't want it, but I get by
Tell the devil I can't have him inside
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright

[Verse]
I smoked myself to sleep, I'm sad, I think I'm feelin' lonely
Took one too many shots last night and I spent all my money
Oh, my nigga, tell me who said you can't own it?
You can own anything right before your eyes
Oh, my nigga, if you knew that, I'd be on it
Woulda did anything just to spoil my rise
Wanted fame, I just got a ticket
It can happen, can I get a witness?
Started focusin', nothin' but business
I'ma finally see all the riches
I keep things to myself, so I promise they'll never know me
Old people in my life should know that I am not the old me (Old me)

[Chorus]
If I say so, know they gon' ride
I know G's and you know they ain't nice
Tell my mamma, I don't want it, but I get by
Tell the devil I can't have him inside
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
Tell the reaper he don't want it, he don't want it
Oh, I know everything's gonna be alright
