                                                                Bb
And told me he saved me a spot on a new record he got
Bb
He call it "a lot," I open my book and I jot
Cm
Pray for Tekashi, they want him to rot

I picture him inside a cell on a cot
Cm
'Flectin' on how he made it to the top

Wondering if it was worth it or not
Bb
I pray for Markelle 'cause they fucked up his shot

Just want you to know that you got it, my nigga
Bb
Though I never met you, I know that you special

And that the Lord blessed you, don't doubt it, my nigga
Cm
Dennis Smith, Jr., stay solid, my nigga

I'm on a tangent, not how I planned it
Cm
I had some fans that hopped and abandoned ship

When they thought that I wasn't gone pan out,
Bb
I got a plan

They say that success is the greatest revenge, tell all your friends
Bb
Cole on a mission, cementin' the spot as the greatest who did it
Before it all ends, nigga

[Ulangi Chorus dan Interlude]
