Cleo Lyrics

[00:06.78] To my real ones that know, this ain't for you
[00:09.05] To my enemies, it's still love all day
[00:13.93] Everybody's still growing and learning themselves, right?
[00:17.40] My true story, yo
[00:19.84] Pondering, pondering, how to approach
[00:21.57] Some of y'all sensitive, but y'all still need to know (yeah)
[00:24.23] Wonder how a bunch of sheep can have opinions on a goat (how)
[00:26.58] We all on the same continent and off the same boat (right)
[00:29.14] Remember early on, y'all ain't treat me all the same though (uh huh)
[00:31.59] Used to question why the brothers even rocked wit' me for (uh)
[00:34.02] 'Member y'all wonder, used to wonder 'bout Wonder
[00:36.50] Question why they ever wanna push a black woman
[00:39.08] Niggas on my label who ain't want me in the front, and
[00:41.63] Some sisters in the industry, y'all know y'all was frontin' (I know it)
[00:44.10] Dress too tomboy, rap too lyrical (you said it)
[00:46.75] I could save 'em all the pain and bring a few tears to you (huh)
[00:49.16] I shared a few with boo back in Fort Lauderdale (uh)
[00:51.80] Now I'm boo'd up at boohoo 'cause I didn't fail
[00:54.17] Know who you are, I was told names, never tell
[00:56.93] The weight that I carried, those summers, I'm never frail
[00:59.40] Now they say I ain't elite (who are they?)
[01:02.57] On to the next
[01:03.50] I don't take time to address opinions that ain't 9th, Dre, or Jay-Z (right)
[01:06.42] Only rap radars I need are them and the streets (right)
[01:08.88] Be careful, the validations y'all seek (uh huh)
[01:11.42] I been in them offices, they don't look like you and me (they don't)
[01:13.78] I've been in offices that they look like me
[01:15.86] I learned lessons 'bout my essence and this industry (uh)
[01:18.75] Y'all banked on the wrong ones, wasted your energy (you did)
[01:21.29] Lost more interest, got me laughin' at my enemies
[01:23.78] Every door you close, every back you turn (uh huh)
[01:26.18] Can't keep me away from the life I earned (you can't keep it)
[01:28.70] My rock bottom's good, high life y'all yearn (it is)
[01:31.04] What I ain't given I had to take, my turn (gimme that)
[01:33.96] Came back, more ammo, like Cleo to burn
[01:36.47] Blaow, blaow, blaow, nigga burn
[01:38.37] We ain't forgot about them shots Jack
[01:39.97] They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
[01:41.51] Money talk, bullshit walk, you dig?
[01:43.71] If you aim, you better squeeze
[01:45.11] Real ones multiply, chump niggas bleed, you feel me?
[01:47.73] We ain't forgot about them shots Jack
[01:49.87] They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
[01:51.55] You can bank on that nigga
[01:52.97] 252 comin' live from the bugaboo basement
[01:55.11] For the big faces nigga
[01:57.98] Yo, let's keep it a whole G, and talk about it upfront (talk)
[02:00.97] The best, point blank, period, every month (talk)
[02:03.58] The goals been lowered, and we still scared to dunk (talk)
[02:06.21] Y'all don't want no smoke, half the squad roll blunts
[02:08.37] Hold up, enough braggin', let's talk about the baggin' (yeah)
[02:10.88] Talk about the money, when this business they staffin' (uh huh)
[02:13.78] We'll milk the cows but they never put a calf in (tell it)
[02:16.08] White men run us, they don't want this kinda passion
[02:18.42] A black woman story? They don't want this kinda rapping (talk)
[02:20.90] They love a fantasy, they love the gun bang action (talk)
[02:23.44] What good is a black women to them? (yeah)
[02:25.68] Raped us and slavery, they raping us again
[02:28.09] Only put us on TV if our titties jiggling (uh)
[02:30.52] Jay tried to give us Tidals and we giggling at him (damn shame)
[02:33.88] But we ain't peeped the funny shit they doing (crazy)
[02:35.93] Chitlin' Circuit, mom and mop's store been ruined (crazy)
[02:38.27] 'Cause we wouldn't share the profit, we was all movin'
[02:40.59] Now it's pennies on pennies, that don't make sense do it? (dollars)
[02:43.19] We gotta stick together more than we has been (yes we do)
[02:46.00] Beefin' with each other while they get rich laughing (come on bruh)
[02:49.45] Mm, that's a no no (it is)
[02:50.82] Bust my way through like Cleo with the ammo (baow)
[02:53.28] On my own terms, I'ma take what's mine
[02:55.41] Singin' day after day, you can sing that line
[02:57.60] We ain't forgot about them shots Jack
[02:58.99] They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
[03:00.65] And that's a fact nigga
[03:02.24] You see we came up, got our change up, but we ain't change up
[03:05.09] In a world full of fake niggas, still remain us
[03:07.47] We ain't forgot about them shots Jack
[03:09.08] They gon' be mad when I squeeze back
