lyrics

"Pompeii...
some of yall are in my seats
tell you right off the back
I ain't gon let it go"

(Verse 1)
I ain't even asking for much (I ain't)
I'm just asking for what's owed
nothing less and nothing more
How you playing off a hunch (How ya?)
tell me something I don't already know
I'm familiar with the code
I'm familiar with these hoes
I'm familiar with the fact I got people round me (whoah)
hating behind closed doors
showing fake love more
then underage teens showing fake I.D. (huh huh huh)
Just to fit in, just to get in
don't get yourself exposed tryna lie to me
cuz it ain't gon do you no good
that fake shit don't fly with me
(it don't)
Just a couple young men with more drive then a man with adrenaline
running through his ivy
I keep a small circle and you know who they are cuz they right beside me
watch me pull up on em slow
hit three in a row, like tic tac toe (like tic tac toe)
Bitch I live by the rules
Hoe I live by the code
(Hoe I live by the code)

(Hook)

(Verse 2)
I don't need no help, I can do it by myself
don't you worry me, me and my team
making moves top shelf
if you ain't part of the team
don't expect to get part of the wealth
you ain't making moves like chess
playing checkers get checked
speaking out your ass, why you puffin out your chest
quit holding your breathe
every time you take a step
if you half step to the plate I'm running at you left
(HUH)
don't throw me a bone (bone)
I ain't one to play fetch (I ain't the one to play fetch)
and we all tryna ball (and we all tryna ball)
so don't you dare play ref (ref)

(Hook)
