[Intro: Vic Mensa & Sway]
Sway In The Morning
Let me get my moucfkin'
This for real emcees only!!
Lemme put my hood on one time
That’s why they don't always come, true emcees only


[Verse: Vic Mensa & Sway]
Live in the flesh to dispel all the rumors, I'm magical when I do this
Eyes Wide Shut, I’m Stanley Kubrick
Yellow gold Rollie so my Clockwork Orange, I was still a local nigga when I bought my first forgine
Dreamin' of that house on The Hill like Lauryn
Fast forward, I got a view, I came out the blue
Vic a Lunatic you would think he came out the 'Lou
Said what I shouldn't, did what they told me not to do
I'm like a lie detector I can only tell the truth
For better or worse, gift and a curse, I never reverse my stance, I never minch words, I can't
I live with a purpuse man, to the death I am
Still skatin' on Blades, call me (Pepper Ann?)
Out the window throwing' signs like a catcher’s hand
Bitch niggas full estrogen in that case then I only eat pussy, I’m a Pescatarian
Cat Fish a femo trynna catch a scam
Then I DIp with the set like I rep what Cam rep
Ace outta the bottle like Sheck, Kazaam
That means I'm only half man half amazing, cats get cold feet when the gats is blazing, uh
(oooh, we got a real hyena up in here today, Vic Mensa taking over Sway in The Morning, we not done!)
Swerve in the Ghost no Patrick Swayze, I’m no actor baby, still they accolade me
I was, Grammy nominated when I told my mom I made it
Pimp hard like Don "Magic" Juan in gators, send shots through the car like Pac in Vegas
And I ain't Farrakhan but I be around the Nation
They'll never get the best of my like a compilation
And keep my foot on niggas neck like a Dominatrix
World domination, that's what I’m chasin'
Not Robert but I used to trap in the basement
Run up with the strap and mask like I'm Jason
(ooooh, you hear that boy spittin that flame, Chicagos finest, emcees step up to the plate, Vic Mensa on Sway in The Morning, Shade 45, Vic I feel like you got more you wanna say man, this how we getting down we raising the bar, let's go))
Flex for my niggas in mass incarceration
I feel your pain James, they trynna give my brother 30
He trynna maintain, hard to remain sane
In a city where everybody claim thangs
They even got a gang for niggas who don't gangbang
I'm not a neutron, I SaveMoney like a coupon
I stay breaded like a crouton
I smoke wet and cake 'till I can't pronunciate
Now she trynna blow me, when I'm mouth to mouth, participate
Let it breath, venitlate, catch a breeze in LA
Hustle like Nip don't slip like Timberlake, uh
On my hip, turn the chip, yuh, don't like slip like Timberlake
Keep my dick in they mouth, how you articulate? yuh
[Vdeo censored and edited]
I know these niggas fake, they gon' hate anyway, fuck 'em 'till they menstruate
Spit like Little Wayne mixed with a bit of Jay but I'm no protégé
"You crazy for this Sway" that's what Hova Say
But I'm the GOAT today, wrappin' like a Cobra snake, yeah
(oooooh, what y'all gon do to Vic Mensa, I know there's a lot of battling going on right now but what y'all gonna do about Vic Mensa)
And the flow fluctuate like Oprah's wight, the flow fluctuate like Opras, wait
You know how we was rockin' like Hoobastank, I was GDK
I didn't go the Larry Hoover way
Gentrfy the game, make these niggas move away
Now there's a Starbucks where you used to stay
Stupid paid, I'm stupid paid, that's all these stpuid niggas say, they sound stupid Sway
Niggas needin' to cap more in they rap less
You ain't got next, you just the nigga with the fat neck!

[Outro: Vic Mensa & Sway]
And I be fucking up the game like a bad ref
My fiteen minutes of fame has not left
They keep my name in the mouth like bad breath
If not press is bad pess, then come and press me on Wednesday, nigga I be at Flex
Fuck you talmbout bitch ass niggas
(Vic Mensa ladies and gentlemen)
That's not cap, no top hat!
(he doing his rounds right now)
