That's The Thing

(album: Effected - 2018)

Sixteen bars is like sixteen charms
Every word put in it is like diamonds to y'all
Lot of top jewels
People at the top is like tools, we use 'em and we make moves
Don't you get shit confused
Fuck all that news, windows down as we cruise
I'll kick it with Uncle Tom as long as Tom isn't Cruise
Cause we don't like actors, they remind me of Packers
They only Cheeseheads, give a fuck about a Black son
Waiting on my Black son, don't know when that'll happen
So I'ma make sure my rapping is here when I'm absent
I happen to know there's classic dope that's packed this flow
Yeah, nigga, I was slacking before
But took a trip to Carolina, went and practiced with Cole
Five days then I'm back to the Coast
My foot back on your throats
On my way to the top, it's just happening slow
The rap rapture is close, Cozz snatching your souls
Real shit

You will not believe what I seen, baby
The top is the only thing I see lately
Won't die before I live all of my dreams, baby
And that's the thing, baby
That's the thing, baby
You will not believe what I seen, baby
The top is the only thing I see lately
Won't die before I live all of my dreams, baby
And that's the thing, baby
That's the thing, baby

Always had dreams of bring rich, uh
Mama never thought I'd make it this way
On this page of my life, I'm tryna get paid
Name on that big screen, fame ain't a thing
I'm just trying to maintain
Flame from that rib cage
Come out when I take aim, music is my main thang
And she never played games, she hit me with that straight face
Telling me I ain't change, I'm still aggressive and super overprotective and selective how I make change
She always tell me how stupid I can be
Asking, "how can you stay moving without having a plan B?"
Cause I put my trust in music and homie, quite frankly
I'd rather just take these chances to make cheese
I fathom the great things, I battle to save cream
Walking across the streets was niggas with broken dreams
You don't wanna walk in my jeans cause

You will not believe what I seen, baby
The top is the only thing I see lately
Won't die before I live all of my dreams, baby
And that's the thing, baby
That's the thing, baby
You will not believe what I seen, baby
The top is the only thing I see lately
Won't die before I live all of my dreams, baby
And that's the thing, baby
That's the thing, baby
