~Okay I’m young and I’m reckless, I do it bigger like texas
Though I aint whipping a lexus, I still be pimping ya exes,
I’m in a honda with sandra ya baby mama in common with this chick,
they both sucked my finish the sentence
And I keep winning and wining like there’s no limit to Alex
so if u wanna get on my level u better Switch it to expert
But most can’t be me, can’t see me like finding fish in the desert
So If u a hater see u later take a trip to the Exit
like bye….bye, hasta luego,
i got a chick i call Bay, that’s cuz she came from Francisco
i got a chick i call J, that’s cuz her booty like J-Lo
and both chicks get the goods, cuz they’re looking muy bueno,
i’m saying, hold up, hold up, hold up, stop there,
i’m royal in this game it’s clear you lames are not player,
and you a clown from a carnival, i am not fare (fair),
cuz i’m top tier, and you are bottom rear,
i’m outta here, i’m faded like more then outerwear,
with a goldilocks laying in my bed she call me papa bear,
stop it there, it’s obvi, i’m cocky, but try and stop me, i dare,
you to, but you dudes are like broken bluetooth, you can’t compare (come pair)
i got a motto i follow, dropped down to 4 letters,
KEWS, kill ’em with success and now who do it more better
that’s why the ladies always looking towards my 4th letter
so i let ’em have the D, full court pressure

The cycle repeated
as explosions broke in the sky
all that I needed
was the one thing I couldn’t find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We’re building it up
To break it back down
We’re building this up
To burn it down
We can’t wait
To burn it to the ground
The colors conflicted
as the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this / but
couldn’t stop from tearing it down
And you were caught at the turn
caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
You told me yes / You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played that soldier / You played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right / to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
so when you fall / I’ll take my turn
and fan the flames as your blazes burn
