Saltwater (feat. Conway the Machine) Lyrics

[00:17.07] Yeah
[00:17.55] You so cliche, you're the nouveau riche
[00:19.83] That come up hard as a youth and knew no peace
[00:22.84] You hit that lick and switched to a new motif
[00:25.60] In a whip with two low seats and new gold teeth
[00:28.38] You say you wanna live fast, gettin' paid in cash
[00:31.54] Puffin' the most gas and dyin' of car crash
[00:34.70] You never learned math in school, you cut class
[00:37.13] So you can't count what's in the clip, you just blast
[00:40.28] I feel your mind spinnin' in place and just bufferin'
[00:43.31] And all you tryna see is someplace with less sufferin'
[00:45.76] Or make a lot of big blue faces just hustlin'
[00:48.95] What could I say that you would embrace? I guess nothin'
[00:51.46] This isn't in attempts to reach you and your hitters
[00:54.32] The last thing you do is bullshit a bullshitter
[00:57.25] The streets is a bitch, you up in the club with her
[01:00.43] You should cease and desist, but you too in love with her, yeah
[01:03.86]
[01:14.92] We're pass the baton like a drum major at Howard
[01:18.05] We transfer the power for salt water and flower
[01:20.71] My pen packs a dawah, Akira Kurosawa
[01:23.40] My ideas is gunpower, secure the tower
[01:26.71] That overlooks a graveyard full of cancelled niggas
[01:29.42] Who paid ransoms when they made handsome figures
[01:32.63] Guilt and bad business'll make a man religious
[01:35.19] I'm the difference of where Sanford and Sanford Biggers
[01:37.78] Save the revelry if you tryna lower level me
[01:40.57] I be over seventy, flippin' the script regularly
[01:43.85] Know the L holder 'bout to be you instead of me
[01:47.20] Why? 'Cause you a dickhead, I'm a Dick Gregory
[01:49.83] Sendin' every opponent disciplinary notice
[01:52.44] Ulterior motives begin, pure as a lotus
[01:55.26] Even if uncertain, I bet you I never showed it
[01:58.19] If you checkin' for me to choke, I suggest you adjust your focus (yeah)
[02:01.32]
[02:12.58] Look, they heard me rhymin', they wanna know where they find me at
[02:15.60] The grimy cat from the main street trenches, insomniac
[02:18.59] Three in the mornin', lurkin' in that Pontiac
[02:20.76] Where I'm from, you gotta take your pole even when you go to the laundromat (keep it on you)
[02:24.34] Niggas tried to line me, but I had time to react
[02:27.29] We spin the same day, and the day after, we slidin' back (uh-huh)
[02:29.89] Empty the mop in broad day and leave somebody whacked
[02:32.83] He tried to run, three or four shots hit him inside his back (brrt)
[02:36.30] And that go for anybody that rap
[02:38.06] That Buffalo nigga that catch the bodies back (ha)
[02:40.69] Hold up, rewind me back (yeah)
[02:41.98] They heard me rhymin', they wanna know where they find me at
[02:44.59] The grimy cat from the Main Street trenches, insomniac
[02:47.44] Three in the mornin', catch me inside the trap
[02:50.00] Knockin' off a ninety pack right by the door where the MAK-90 at (uh-huh)
[02:53.51] After the deal, the label still wanna sign me back
[02:56.29] The contract worth a few mill', but I ain't signin' that (hahahaha)
[03:01.01] Yeah, nigga
[03:04.32]
