bread & butter

(album: a Gift & a Curse - 2023)

Going all out when it's 'bout that bread and butter
They'll kill for clout, I put that on my dead brother, yeah
He talk so much, I showed him I'm a real hunter
Won't say it, but he know I still got real cutters, yeah
Yeah, I'm right back and I lost mad commas
I had been down bad inside a dark tunnel, yeah
Fuck them boys, I found out who my real partners
And who was only with me 'cause I had dollars

Never fucked a nigga, always stayed solid
Kept it real with niggas, never lied and always stay honest
Love my bro so much, I'd never change on 'em
I'm the one to go and do the work, bring you the damn profits
Hustled on my own, I always didn't know how to sell product
Nigga ain't gave me shit, I grind so long, came from the damn bottom
Every nigga speaking on my name could have some real problems
We are not the same, ain't in my lane, I got my own column, yeah
Peeping shit, I'm seeing niggas fall back
You bitch-ass niggas got me as the topic of the chat
You switched on me when you know you in business with a rat
And the boy that's like your brother, ain't nobody speak on that
The city see it clearly if I had to state a fact
You still fuck with a nigga that done got yo' partner ****
Heard these niggas talking, only knew 'em 'cause of Slatt
These rap boys need more streams, heard he put my name on wax
You wouldn't even believe, I ain't had to watch my back
It's niggas really talking, how you think we done got snatched?
Nobody sent the kite, I sent it wrong way, didn't get it back
This shit done got off track, let's get it back on track

Going all out when it's 'bout that bread and butter
They'll kill for clout, I put that on my dead brother, yeah
He talk so much, I showed him I'm a real hunter
Won't say it, but he know I still got real cutters, yeah
Yeah, I'm right back and I lost mad commas
I had been down bad inside a dark tunnel, yeah
Fuck them boys, I found out who my real partners
And who was only with me 'cause I had dollars, yeah

Fuck I paid the lawyers all those mills for?
Just so I won't have to say a word to dodge a railroad
Niggas find it hard to understand, though
Dawg ain't put me down, I been locked down, I don't know which way to go
Never gave no statement or agree to take no stand on 'em
On whatever you niggas on and trust me, I'ma stand on it
Lawyers and the DA did some sneaky shit, I fell for it
On my Ps and Qs because this time, I be prepared for it, yeah
'Posed to shine, these niggas throwing shade, though
I can get him hit, but I'ma just chill and just see how it go
Buddy say he want some smoke with me, ain't in my time zone
Any given day, I could just pop out one of them side doors
Gunna, he too slick, you ain't gon' know which way I pled
Shit too hot, I can't even put no money on—
Pulling up, pop out, like, "What the fuck you niggas said?"
Ain't with all that talking, this the last time I'ma say it, yeah
Probably think I'm sick, the way I keep popping these meds
I finally found out that's just the way the devil dance
Had too many niggas 'round I fed that bit my hand
I got too many folks to feed, you just don't understand, yeah

Going all out when it's 'bout that bread and butter
They'll kill for clout, I put that on my dead brother, yeah
He talk so much, I showed him I'm a real hunter
Won't say it, but he know I still got real cutters, yeah
Yeah, I'm right back and I lost mad commas
I had been down bad inside a dark tunnel, yeah
Fuck them boys, I found out who my real partners
And who was only with me 'cause I had dollars, yeah (Yeah)
