lyrics

[Verse 1]

Please don't quit yo day job
Niggas claiming they hot
We skimmed through your EP
Only heard you say lies
Had me hot but C'est la
Vie I'm on my B.I.
Me I'm on I-C-Y
He not on I see why

My shit so I-C-Y
Heat it up finna get cracking
Get ya man tell him quit acting
Bubble wrap sending him packing
He a maggot, money I stack it
Talk a big game and I back it
You ain't seen this since Khaled
Everything else invalid
Lookin foolish, nigga I do this

[Hook]

Please don't quit your day job
They been claiming they time
Is comin any day now

Boy don't quit your day job
Get yo bread & stay fly
Swear you got that flame I
Just can't hear what you say nah

Please don't quit your day job
Suit & tied up tied up
Please don't quit your day job
Got me fired up fired up
Please don't quit your day job
Suit & tied up tied up
Please don't quit your day job
Got me fired up fired up what


[Verse 2]

I come through and shut shit down
Cause that's just what I'm paid to do
My shows get so live I might have
Comcast put it on pay per view

I Got to
Want that real I gotchu
My whole aura ice blue
I'm red hot though ain't I

Don't call me your bro, that's degrading
Heard yo bars, I can't related and
If you feelin disrespected
Say the word & get to fading
Uh

Take that out your bio
We don't care about your booking
Niggas cookin you's a rookie
Sweeter than a sugar cookie
Ol lookin ass



[Verse 3]

I make a beat and I bash it
Whip it with speed and I crash it
You get directed disposit
I get a check and I cash it

The way that I treat it is tragic
Yo bars and your bitches are trashy
Playin games and flick the c stick
Only time you see a smash hit

I hit back to back I'm using Link
You a square & I'm a Cuban link
Goin crazy I could use a shrink
You should market more than tweet a stupid link

I take a rhyme and push it to the brink ugh
Box it up & put it through the ringer
Doper than anything you can think of
Niggas writing you just biting boy
Fuck outta here
