"No Take Backs....
fuck your subliminal's...
I'm here to take back what they owe me (yuh)
.........Pompeii"
(Verse 1)
You gotta pay attention or pay admission/
cuz I can tell who it is they really dissin' /
It be the ones closest to you/
You got more of chance trusting those who don't even know you/
It be the ones that claim they loyal and they down for you/
But be the first ones to crack under pressure like they hard boiled/
That's why I gotta set tests for these rats setting tracks/
It aint shit for me to send it back/
Couple to the chest, same way they gave it to me on my back/
Drop This No Take Backs, I'm on a full attack/
I mean yall got ok raps, and the other half just wack/
Read cat in a hat, Wrote a verse and thought he was crack/
I'm just worried bout that paper right now/
You think you a step ahead
Cuz you on vacation right now?/
My team steady working on our foundation right now/
So while you happy with a milli
I'm focused on getting paid right now/
look how much you could of made by now/
Your team lookin like they wanna trade right now/
If you had played yo cards correct the first run...
Instead of kicking back man..
you coulda been a ace by now/
And I aint in to wasting time, I'm impatient with mines/
Like I said on Bitch Please I aint tryna spend a dime/
Like me and Caez said yelling M.O.B/
Fuck a thot on my mind cuz I have money on mines so.../
(Hook)
I don't need no fragrants round me
I don't need no flaking round me
You can switch sides on yo team
but don't expect shit back from me
Cuz I don't need no fragrants round me
Cuz I don't need no flaking round me
what the fuck was ya'll thinking
bringing that fake shit round me
(Black Caesar)
A pity how they see me when I tried to help
Extended my hand and now my nigga going left
Eh something ain't right I smell the death in the air It's gone be a cold night (damn)
Why they do it to em that's what the paper said dude just pulled up shooting something like a movie my nigga that shit was ruthless bullets everywhere and no witness that shit was clueless
Damn...Why it gotta be this way we was raised the same why you gotta stray
We was bred the same why you gotta change
Thought we wanted the same thought we was chasing the fame
But you was fucking them hoes that left you fucking insane
And you now stuck with decisions that done corrupted your brain foolish child Gambino
Yea we know rolling the dice and you ain't get no c-notes
Living ya life turning into a zero
Burning ya bridges until you fell right below
Hit a crack and break ya back all black
So on your way out Just remember No Take Backs
(Hook)
