"Ain't no runnin' up on me, went from nothin' to glory
I ain't tellin' y'all to do it, I'm just tellin' my story
I don't hang with these b****** 'cause these b****** be corny
And I got enough bras, y'all ain't gotta support me

Only person in my fam to see six figures
The pressure on your shoulders feel like boulders
When you gotta make sure that everybody straight"

You sleepin', you sleepin', you sleepin'
You sleeping like a baby
Everyone was right about you now, and
You creepin', you creepin', you creepin'

Saw some things I didn't like
I went through your phone last night
It's killin' me, killin' me, killin' me, oh"
