[03:04.89] This ain't been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest
[03:08.32] It's always been about love and hate, now let me say I'm the biggest hater
[03:11.74] I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress
[03:15.28] I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight, it's gon' be direct
[03:18.55] We hate the bitches you fuck, 'cause they confuse themself with real women
[03:21.93] And notice, I said "we," it's not just me, I'm what the culture feelin'

Uh, yeah (Uh)
It's survival, survival
I think somebody lying
Smell somebody lying
I don't see no fire

[Verse 1]
Off-white Sunseeker at the marina
Fuck a Phantom, I like to buy yachts when I get the fever
Wine cooler spill on my white t-shirt, the sightseer
Trifecta, money, morals, and culture, that's my leisure
My visa, passport tatted, I should hub in Ibiza
Lucalis dwellings in Brooklyn just to book me some pizza
Who could reach us? Only God could teleport this type of freedom
God, ah, my confession is yours
But, who am I if I don't go to war?
There's opportunity when livin' with loss
I discover myself when I fall short
Raise my hands to a fallen sky, I fantasize
Me jumpin' planets immortalized, I correspond
Three angels watchin' me all the time
Put my children to sleep with a prayer, then close my eyes
Definition of peace
Tell me who gon' stop me? I come from love
Estelle cover my heart, then open me up
Remember when picked up a pen, lyrics that I can trust
Timid soul, stare in the mirror, askin' where I was from often
I know this type of power is gon' cost
But I live in circadian rhythms of a shooting star
The mannerisms of Raphael, I can heal or give you art
But the industry's cooked as I pick the carcass apart

[Verse 2]
Yeah, somebody's lyin', I can see the vibes on Ak'
Even he lookin' compromised, let's peel the layers back
Ain't no brownie points for beating your chest, harassin' Ant
Fuckin' with good people make good people go to bat
Conspiracies about Cash, dog? That's not even the leak
Find the jewels like Kash Doll, I just need you to think
Are you finally ready to play have-you-ever? – let's see
Have you ever thought that OVO is workin' for me?
Fake bully, I hate bullies, you must be a terrible person
Everyone inside your team is whispering that you deserve it
Can't Toosie Slide up outta this one, it's just gon' resurface
Every dog gotta have its day, now live in your purpose
It was fun until you started to put money in the streets
Then lost money 'cause they came back with no receipts
I'm sorry that I live a boring life, I love peace
But war-ready if the world is ready to see you bleed, The Elohim, KTW
Know you can't sleep, these images trouble you
Know the wires in your circle should puzzle you
If you were street-smart, then you woulda caught that your entourage is only to hustle you
A hundred niggas that you got on salary
And twenty of 'em want you as a casualty
And one of them is actually next to you
And two of them is practically tired of your lifestyle
Just don't got the audacity to tell you
But let me tell you some game 'cause I can see you, my lil' homie
You playin' dirty with propaganda, it blow up on ya
You're playin' nerdy with Zack Bia and Twitter bots
But your reality can't hide behind Wi-Fi
Your lil' memes is losin' steam, they figured you out
The forced opinions is not convincin', y'all need a new route
It's time that you look around on who's around you
Before you figure that you're not alone, ask: "What Mike would do?"

[00:07.15] Dear, Adonis
[00:08.26] I'm sorry that that man is your father, let me be honest
[00:11.36] It takes a man to be a man, your dad is not responsive
[00:14.85] I look at him and wish your grandpa would've wore a condom
[00:17.66] I'm sorry that you gotta grow up and then stand behind him
[00:20.82] Life is hard, I know, the challenge is always gon' beat us home
[00:24.09] Sometimes our parents make mistakes that affect us until we grown
[00:27.13] And you're a good kid that need good leadership
[00:29.85] Let me be your mentor since your daddy don't teach you shit
[00:33.04] Never let a man piss on your leg, son

[01:08.21] Five percent will comprehend, but 95 is lost
[01:11.39] Be proud of who you are, your strength come from within
[01:14.42] Lotta superstars that's real, but your daddy ain't one of them
[01:17.63] And you nothing like him, you'll carry yourself as king
[01:20.97] Can't understand me right now? Just play this when you 18
[01:25.29]

[01:41.09] With emotion, hopin' a man can see you and not be blinded
[01:44.40] Dear Dennis, you gave birth to a master manipulator
[01:47.63] Even using you to prove who he is, is a huge favor
[01:50.76] I think you should ask for more paper, and more paper
[01:53.96] And more, uh, more paper

[02:08.26] Mm-mm, your son's a sick man with sick thoughts, I think niggas like him should die
[02:12.33] Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest they life
[02:15.43] He hates Black women, hypersexualizes 'em with kinks of a nympho fetish
[02:18.54] Grew facial hair because he understood bein' a beard just fit him better
[02:21.87] He got sex offenders on hoe-VO that he keep on a monthly allowance
[02:25.15] A child should never be compromised and he keepin' his child around them
[02:28.09] And we gotta raise our daughters knowin' there's predators like him lurkin'
[02:31.48] Fuck a rap battle, he should die so all of these women can live with a purpose
[02:34.63] I been in this industry 12 years, I'ma tell y'all one lil' secret
[02:37.96] It's some weird shit goin' on and some of these artists be here to police it
[02:41.10] They be streamlinin' victims all inside of they home and callin' 'em tender
[02:44.27] Then leak videos of themselves to further push their agendas
[02:47.48] To any woman that be playin' his music, know that you're playin' your sister
[02:50.81] Or better, you're sellin' your niece to the weirdos, not the good ones

[03:23.77] He don't commit to much but his music, yeah, that's for sure
[03:27.17] He a narcissist, misogynist, livin' inside his songs
[03:30.18] Try destroy families rather than takin' care of his own
[03:33.43] Should be teachin' you timetables or watchin' Frozen with you
[03:36.63] Or at your eleventh birthday singin' poems with you
[03:39.88] Instead, he be in Turks payin' for sex and poppin' Percs, examples that you don't deserve
[03:44.66] I wanna tell you that you're loved, you're brave, you're kind
[03:47.72] You got a gift to change the world, and could change your father's mind
