8am in Charlotte Lyrics
[00:01.15] In God's hands (Conductor)
[00:03.90] Be grateful
[00:07.19] That He was there
[00:12.07] Glory (yeah)
[00:15.58] I'm out here on the road
[00:17.35] You can hear it in the voice (glory)
[00:19.18] Ah-em, still get this shit off, though
[00:21.42] Look
[00:24.75] The money speakin' for itself, I call it fortune-tell
[00:27.37] Fire top from a bitch that work at corporate sales
[00:30.51] Chinchilla ushanka, we skiin' out in Courchevel
[00:33.56] Breakin' news, they tried to kill him, but the boy prevails
[00:36.75] I leave for tour and my niggas fuckin' go to jail
[00:39.63] Preachin' to the dogs 'bout wantin' more for themselves
[00:42.69] It's weighin' heavy on my moral scale
[00:44.95] Knowin' they gon' sell another citizen 'cane, they think they Orson Welles
[00:48.70] Walk in Chanel, they like, "How the fuck you need more Chanel?"
[00:51.42] I got these cats tuckin' tails on fourth-quarter sales
[00:54.54] I'm used to seein' tears drop over enormous meals
[00:57.48] The restaurant clears out, faint echoes of Lauryn Hill
[01:00.65] I say, "We gotta talk about us," I feel like Jordan Peele
[01:03.84] Could tell I'm gettin' under your skin like a orange peel
[01:07.23] 'Cause your words don't match your actions like a foreign film
[01:09.88] And now it's silence in the Lamb' like the horror film
[01:13.05] Things get quiet after me statin' the obvious
[01:15.85] Things get kinky after 15 years of dominance
[01:19.48] That October sky is lookin' ominous
[01:21.82] The money is autonomous
[01:23.31] Shout' to Oliver North, he out in Rome doin' Toronto shit
[01:26.31] And Jeremiah the watchdog, you niggas know what time it is
[01:29.55] I'm in and out of Houston Hobby so much, I'm a hobbyist
[01:32.47] Hoes waitin' on Cench in the lobby, that boy a lobbyist
[01:35.33] Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate
[01:38.53] Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian
[01:41.34] Formal is the dress code, dawg, so many checks owed
[01:44.41] I feel Czechoslovakian, nigga, what the fuck?
[01:50.28] Nah, I'm movin' different right now, for real, like
[01:52.92] I feel like if Mike switched out the glove for the pen, like
[01:56.44] This shit just too enticing right now, you know?
[01:59.94] Look
[02:02.89] Diamonds do the silly dance, I raise up the wine glass
[02:05.76] Metal detectors beepin' and security bypass
[02:08.90] The numbers goin' up, someone pull up the line graph
[02:11.45] The days are goin' by, it's like I'm livin' in time-lapse
[02:14.60] Been talkin' to Adel like he majored in finance
[02:17.77] Shania Twain, notepad, I'm makin' it line-dance
[02:20.69] You tryna rob me, and it's gon' feel like you sittin' at your favorite restaurant
[02:25.09] 'Cause, nigga, that's where you dyin' at
[02:27.01] Mob ties, I swear we like a bitch with fine sisters and fine cousins, the family all bad
[02:32.13] I'm preachin' to the dawgs about cleanin' they images
[02:35.07] I swear I'm like a young T.D. Jakes to my menaces
[02:38.17] Long-kiss goodnight, PDA for my nemesis
[02:41.56] Three hunnid acres, PGA on the premises
[02:44.41] That's what's really brackin' like this verse in parentheses
[02:47.04] I'm givin' hits to niggas on some, don't even mention it
[02:50.73] Like, don't even worry about it, like
[02:52.58] You can get me back whenever, or
[02:54.91] Or don't, you know?
[02:57.65] It is what it is, I guess
[03:00.08] Yeah, hm
[03:01.54] Look
[03:02.49] You young boys take some of that money and set it aside
[03:05.65] Not havin' enough to pay your tax is a federal crime
[03:08.67] You niggas obsessed with me, and it's not on no-hetero vibe
[03:11.71] Handle beef so quiet, you think that I'm lettin' it slide
[03:14.59] Next thing you know, we tip-toein' past enemy lines
[03:17.87] Diss me so long ago, we making your memories fly
[03:20.79] Conspiracy theories start floatin' 'round like the Kennedy guy
[03:23.82] I'll pro'ly hold a grudge against you guys 'til I'm 75
[03:27.31] Ayy, niggas lyin' for a livin', I couldn't relate
[03:29.92] We all gotta lay in the bed we make, but that couldn't be Drake
[03:33.10] You forced a lot of fake love when real ones stood in your face
[03:35.96] That's why you got deserted by your niggas like puddin' and cake
[03:38.83] I got you on camera bowin' down, but the footage is safe
[03:42.14] Thank God, another USB to put in the safe
[03:44.96] Thank God, at the crib, dippin' my foot in the lake
[03:48.00] I swear that y'all turned me into the villain, I couldn't escape
[03:51.11] Not sayin' I'm the best at what I do
[03:53.35] I'm just sayin' that it's me versus whoever wanna lose
[03:56.20] Pick any one of the Who's Whos, I got .22s for new crews
[04:00.24] R.I.P. to the DJ from Houston, we loose screws
[04:03.12] Helicopters, cop lights, and news crews
[04:06.47] Niggas steady cryin' to my daddy, well, boo-hoo
[04:09.11] You pro'ly heard a lot about the boy, well, true, true, haha
[04:15.64] (In God's hands) yeah
[04:18.93] (Be grateful)
[04:21.83] (That He was there)
