288 Bars (I Remember Makonnen)

[Verse]
I just, think about all my past times
Get on these f*ckin' tracks and make these words rhyme
I don't even sell no dimes, cause I do not have no time
But I used to reminisce when me and my homies was on the grind
All the time, tryna shine cause we need them new things
Now a boy got pinky rings, switching lanes with 6 chains
I don't even give a f*ck, used to have a black truck
All the way in zip codes that I do not go no mo
Oh sh*t, I got shows every motherf*ckin' weekend
Me and my best friends ain't f*ckin' speakin
'
Got friends from down under arrivin' in the morning
Tell 'em that Makonnen is the best thing goin
Worldwide, now you know it, finally I can show it
Young boy in the city lookin' like I'm f*ckin' growin'
All the way with the moon, ocean sun when it be snowin
'
I don't know how I got it, I'm so thankful for the flowin'
My friends, once again, when they come back around
I remember all night, we was sellin' that brown
To some motherf*ckin' junkies, I was actin' like a monkey
Swingin' off them god damn trees
Makin' hunnid of them things
All damn night with the white, now a n*gga barely see
Any type of f*ckin' drugs, who the f*ck is me?
I just once was a young boy, on the f*ckin' corner
Sellin' all this dope from Atlanta to California
And now I brought it back all the way to the West
Cuz them n*ggas in the East said that I was one of the best
So I'm like, let me go, see if the rumors true
When I step off in the room, n*ggas be mad at who?
When I step in studios, n*ggas tryna sound like who, now
God damn, I ride around in black f*ckin' coupes now
Don't even need to pick it up
n*gga come deliver me
Feel like i'm dominos the way they f*cking playing me
Oh sh*t is a game
n*gga love my last name
Girls want my last name
I switch them with my last game
Hit em with some new sh*t
Like how the f*ck he do it
I remember being in church staring at the pool p*ssed
Like goddamn that water could make me feel stronger
Then i see that preacher daughter get killed by a gang banger
On the f*cking corner and em girls was out here singing songs
Bout sweet jesus and how he was gon come back home
Put my whole family on as they f*cking waiting
n*ggas on the east side out here still hating
Cause they know that i'm great when i'm came from the south
Now i'm hottest in the north ain't sh*t else to talk bout
I'm like damn Uncle Sam who the f*ck is donald trump
These n*ggas done f*cked up
Presidents be going up
Now the life in america is all about the money have no time for no jokes
Man ain't seeing sh*t funny when my friends f*cking dying and drugs f*cking colliding everyday in communities
b*tches wanna do me
n*ggas out here shooting bullets when we riding pass i'm like oh sh*t what happened i forgot about my dad
Cause that n*gga did me wrong way back in ‘96 now i'm feeling like a bad dog
Looking like michael vick
Out here switching f*cking teams can't find my f*cking path
I'm on the f*cking road feeling so damn glad
That i have f*cking twice another day at life
I remember last week when i felt like a bum
sh*t be f*cking popping now like a n*gga is bubble gum
I remember being so broke i couldn't afford no bubble yum
Now i'm see now and laters riding around in the latest jaguars supercars saying i'm a super star
And my mom came to my release
Thank god for warner but
Man i never swore that i would leave california
When i was young i felt dumb thought i had to be gang banging
Out here f*cking slanging drugs but now all these songs i'm singing
I can't think about no hook
History about these books all i know is f*cking dope fiends and a few crooks that f*cking switch they ways off in the usa
Now i feel like gps when i'm using that waze
In the app i can snap on any f*cking rap but a n*gga hate on me at the same time give me dap
I used to be a young fool now i'm feeling smarter
Goddamn thank god im feeling like a scholar
Didn't go to college unless it was for beauty
Now the girls love me they want me out in movies
I done sign a stupid deal with a new agency
Hope they put me on a f*cking tv show on channel E
Goddamn i'm entertaining oh sh*t ain't complaining
Cause the money that i'm making is enough to buy jamaica uh
I love it but sometimes i dont uh
I think i'll stay but sometimes i won't
I swear that i should leave what's is up my sleeve
Everybody hating, hating on me
So i fly all the time when i look at the moon
I remember being home making songs in my room
But now i fly all the time and i stare at the moon
I remember when i was young making songs in my room
But now i fly all the time and i stare at the moon
I remember making all these songs back in my room
But now i fly all the time and i stare at the moon
I remember making songs in my room

With my dogs little two pit bulls
Man one of them just died i swear this sh*t ain't cool
I been hurting so bad i can't even call my dad
Thank god i got my mom hope that she ain't feeling sad
Bout them rumors going round in the town
What they saying that i'm f*cking new asian that i'm looking like satan
All i'm doing is K and the coke all night
I'm like momma no i'm not but she know i sold that white
So it might not sound to f*cking far fetch
Plus you losing all this weight
Man you looking kinda sick
I'm like man no i'm not i be running in the morning
I'm practicing for the world stage so i can put a show on that is as good as beyoncé
Look for my fiancé
Retire off this rap sh*t
Chillin in a bungalow
Goddamn dont need no hoes
I just need the f*cking cash
I remember being broke couldn't afford f*cking the dash
That's the of us that be riding on western ave
I remember being down there crying for my dad
He like f*ck you im leaving
I was out there weeping
Now i'm the man from akron to Cleveland
And beyond doing songs you know i can f*cking snap
I be out here looking in the audience waiting for claps
But these n*ggas don't give me claps
They just give me stank eye
So i've hit them with that whip
Cook that chicken one time
Now your girl said she wanna meet a kid backstage
I know what she really want just to hit it backstage and f*ck around and break a condom so she could have my child and when a n*gga fall off she said that i ain't sh*t now
But i never will fall off cause i never got on
I'm the same little kid making songs in my room
Now when i f*cking fly i just stare at the room at the moon in my room
At the same time im feeling like a bride and a groom
Why won't somebody come and marry me
I been smoking all night i should f*cking pay the fee to the goddamn smokers club weight i be be going up
Goddamn nobody f*ck with me since i haven't been going up on a f*cking tuesday but i got new news today
I can make plenty songs slow it down anyway
All in the usa they know that i'm leaving soon
I remember making songs staring at the moon in my room
Now when i fly i just stare at the moon cause i remember making songs in my room
Now when i fly i just stare at the moon
Cause i remember being alone
Just making these songs in my room
Making these songs in my room
I remember being alone in my room
Starting at the moon
