Lyrics

0:03You good T-Minus
0:08Niggas been countin' me out
0:09I'm countin' my bullets I'm loadin' my clips
0:11I'm writin' down names I'm makin' a list
0:13I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
0:15The real ones been dyin' the fake ones is lit
0:17The game is off balance I'm back on my ****
0:19The Bentley is dirty my sneakers is dirty
0:21But that's how I like it you all on my d**k
0:23I'm all in my bag this hard as it get
0:25I do not snort powder I might take a sip
0:27I might hit the blunt but I'm liable to trip
0:29I ain't poppin' no pill but you do as you wish
0:31I roll with some fiends I love 'em to death
0:32I got a few mil' but not all of them rich
0:34What good is the bread if my niggas is broke
0:36What good is first class if my niggas can't sit
0:38That's my next mission that's why I can't quit
0:40Just like LeBron get my niggas more chips
0:42Just put the Rollie right back on my wrist
0:44This watch came from Drizzy he gave me a gift
0:46Back when the rap game was prayin' I'd diss
0:48They act like two legends cannot coexist
0:50But I'd never beef with a nigga for nothin'
0:52If I smoke a rapper it's gon' be legit
0:54It won't be for clout it won't be for fame
0:56It won't be 'cause my **** ain't sellin' the same
0:58It won't be to sell you my latest lil' sneakers
1:00It won't be 'cause some nigga slid in my lane
1:02Everything grows it's destined to change
1:04I love you lil' niggas I'm glad that you came
1:05I hope that you scrape every dollar you can
1:08I hope you know money won't erase the pain
1:09To the OGs I'm thankin' you now
1:11Was watchin' you when you was pavin' the ground
1:13I copied your cadence I mirrored your style
1:15I studied the greats I'm the greatest right now
1:17**** if you feel me you ain't got a choice
1:19Now I ain't do no promo still made all that noise
1:21This year gon' be different I set my intentions
1:23I promise to slap all that hate out your voice
1:26Niggas been countin' me out
1:27I'm countin' my bullets I'm loadin' my clips
1:29I'm writin' down names I'm makin' a list
1:31I'm checkin' it twice and I'm gettin' 'em hit
1:33The real ones been dyin' the fake ones is lit
1:34The game is off balance I'm back on my ****
1:37The Bentley is dirty my sneakers is dirty
1:38But that's how I like it you all on my d**k
1:43I just poured somethin' in my cup
1:47I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
1:51Promise I am never lettin' up
1:54Money in your palm don't make you real
1:59Foot is on they neck I got 'em stuck
2:02I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
2:06If it ain't 'bout the squad don't give a ****
2:10Pistol in your hand don't make you real
2:12I'm dead in the middle of two generations
2:13I'm little bro and big bro all at once
2:15Just left the lab with young 21 Savage
2:17I'm 'bout to go and meet Jigga for lunch
2:19Had a long talk with the young nigga Kodak
2:21Reminded me of young niggas from 'Ville
2:23Straight out the projects no fakin' just honest
2:25I wish that he had more guidance for real
2:27Too many niggas in cycle of jail
2:29Spending they birthdays inside of a cell
2:31We coming from a long bloodline of trauma
2:33We raised by our mamas Lord we gotta heal
2:35We hurting our sisters the babies as well
2:36We killing our brothers they poisoned the well
2:38Distorted self image we set up to fail
2:40I'ma make sure that the real gon' prevail nigga
2:45I just poured somethin' in my cup
2:49I've been wantin' somethin' I can feel
2:53Promise I am never lettin' up
2:56Money in your palm don't make you real
3:00Foot is on they neck I got 'em stuck
3:04I'ma give 'em somethin' they can feel
3:08If it ain't 'bout the squad don't give a ****
3:12Pistol in your hand don't make you real
3:16Money in your palm don't make you real
3:20Pistol in your hand don't make you real
3:28Money in your palm don't make you real
You good T-Minus
Niggas been countin' me out
