Come and lift me up
Funny how niggas tend to believe more than what happened
I mean, really, do we look like Inglorious Bastards? (Come and lift me up)
Lena Waithe told me I was the black Brad Pitt
I wasn't too fond of that title, flatterin' as it is
I mean, really though, that's what you think of my rep?
That's what they sayin' 'bout me, quiet as kept?
Like I just go from one star to another star
Like I'm drawin' out a constellation or
Go from one ho to another, like I'm shootin' par
That ain't me at all
I really had to stop what I was doin' and start retracin' my steps
And had to break some cycles
Sometimes you don't always win it as much as you'd like to
But they can't see you out here panickin'
You can't expect it to change, doin' the same, that's insanity
They catch me on the Canon, movin' candidly
And even though I'm out the frame, they pan to me
But I'm so on, that I'm well off
I only ever fell back, not fell off
Fuck it, it's just a different cycle (Oh)
Sometimes you gotta go through a different cycle
Cycle, cycle
Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard?
That ain't even the half of it, nigga, I'm on a different cycle
Ooh, come and lift me up
I'm sayin' (Oh, yeah)
How about instead of tearin' me down, you— (Come and lift me up)
Yeah, how 'bout that? (Ooh)
Look, I got trauma that I haven't dealt with
I got feelings that I haven't gelled with
I got a lot of girls that wanna get up and meet
And have a conversation with me, after they melt quick
But I can't do that to my baby, I'm too solid (Mmm-hmm)
I mean, so solid, to the point, huh, that my homeboy is The Rock
Shit, you thrivin' over gossip, you the type to lose faith and stop it
I'm climin' the mountain, even if I can't see the top of it
Livin' the highs, thrivin' the lows
Understand that's a whole different control
I done hit, baby, that's mission control
Ulterior motives that's gettin' exposed
Not enough money to give 'em my soul
I set the standards, you live up to those
Life speakin' through me, it's not morse code
I cut you off, 'cause I'm really that cold
Tryin' to go stone cold on me, but I'm hot
American dollar crashin' out, but I'm not
This that prime time, baby, I'm in that time slot
Comin' to you live, swear these niggas is dyin' to watch
So fuckin' busy, she can't tell if I'm lyin' or not
I just got to get this shit, I'm on a different cycle
Ooh, come and lift me up
Oh, is that what you think of me, is that what you heard?
That ain't even the half of it, nigga, I'm on a different cycle
