hook
every time i look down
i just wanna hop out
they be like not now no
(nah)
(nope)
i can’t put this book down
finally getting good now
peaks hard starts out slow
(i don’t know it’s kinda slow)
got the plot sussed out
wonder what the fuss ‘bout
habits die hard not cold
(shhh)
(shhh)
ain’t knocking on no wood now
i know how it should sound
baby i am not my ghost

v1
nope ain’t really shit to talk about tho
if money don’t buy happiness
but stocks buy boats
seem like some of y’all
got some lopsided goals
and them bolts in your neck
leave yacht size holes ugh
but maybe i’ll just stockpile dope
i’m sticking with the simple economics i know
Wanda posted on the rooftop to spot 5 0
ain’t no way to stop me i’m on mach 5 go
find god by the strobe light glow
yea it’s kinda hard to get the dose right tho
mmm treat myself to what the Most High smoke
i’m just tryna keep my balance
all i know is tight ropes
all i know is goats
all i know is tight flow
all i all i know
is all that woke life broke
prolly best to bite your tongue
or your nose might grow
level up in tax brackets
get the gross right bro

hook
every time i look down
i just wanna hop out
they be like not now no
(nope)
(hell no)
i can’t put this book down
finally getting good now
peaks hard starts out slow
(real slow)
got the plot sussed out
wonder what the fuss ‘bout
habits die hard not cold
(not cold)
ain’t knocking on no wood now
i know how it should sound
baby i am not my ghost

v2
yea i’m just tryna live stress free
and breathe easily
but that ain’t realistic
so i’m searching for the peace in me
i know that it exists
playing hide n seek sneakily
always comes bearing gifts
never leaves peacefully
i’m only fucking with em
if i know that they believe in me
‘cause nowadays my brain say
they using me or leaving me
i’m working through that
i thought you knew that
if you gon’ make me show receipts
i’d be glad to prove that ugh
i don’t want the flowers
i want the.. nah i’m lying
just give me mine before i am dying
and i’ll be fine
don’t me beg for em
nah i’m too proud for that
pride’ll get you ether killed
or smacked in a shouting match
matter fact jack
who you think you shouting at
turn it down some levels too
why the fuck you yelling foo
bad actors climbing ladders
for a better view
buncha high horses
hopping hurdles on a pedestal

hook
every time i look down
i just wanna hop out
they be like not now no
(mMmm)
(don’t do it)
i can’t put this book down
finally getting good now
peaks hard starts out slow
(real slow)
got the plot sussed out
wonder what the fuss ‘bout
habits die hard not cold
(not cold)
ain’t knocking on no wood now
i know how it should sound
baby i am not my ghost

outro
person #1: ooh i - here it goes you know the one umm - A my name is so and so all the way through the alphabet..all through the alphabet

person #2: do it - do a little of it - do the first five letters
