[00:09.80]Head in the clouds
[00:11.43]I don't need handshakes and I don't need smiles

[00:15.66]To siphon my profits or eat off my vowels
[00:18.19]I been on tour for like 52 dates
[00:20.26]I knocked a new one in 20 new states
[00:22.62]I been uneasy on how they receive me
[00:24.85]The crescents conceived me you cannot escape

[00:35.91]I hear the **** that you ****** drop and I calmly (What?)
[00:38.34]Disregard any credit so you could never con me (What?)
[00:40.63]Now you got the nerve and the gall to ask me what I been feelin'
[00:43.21]My opinion is "*****, that's beyond me!"

[01:06.14]Narily reachin' my goals,
[01:07.18]You froze when the air was thin (Hey)
[01:08.59]Would you rather follow a dream or a meme
[01:10.66]I rather follow my heart a stark line of comparison (Woo)
[01:13.06]Comparin' me to the next man is shiftless
[01:15.31]If you don't see it now don't ask later forgiveness (Nah)
[01:17.78]I don't do friendship, I do business
[01:19.94]Either you bear arms or bear witness

[01:58.33]Don't expect me to write off with the light scoff
[02:01.22]The nights off you took predictin' what I thought (Yeah)
