Shit'll probably change if your BM start to kiss and tell

Hugs and kisses, man, don't tell me 'bout no switches

Top say drop, your little midget ass better fuckin'

Ayy, better drop and give me fifty, ayy

Drop and give me fifty, drop and give me fifty, ayy

Niggas really got me out here talkin' like I'm 50, ayy

Niggas really got me out here rappin' what I'm livin'

This for all the top dogs, drop and give me fifty, drop-drop

And that fuckin' song y'all got did not start the beef with us

This shit been brewin' in a pot, now I'm heatin' up

I don't care what Cole think, that Dot shit was weak as fuck

Champagne trippin', he is not fuckin' easin' up

Nigga calling Top to see if Top wanna peace it up

"Top, wanna peace it up? Top, wanna peace it up?"

Nah, pussy, now you on your own when you speakin' up

Lyrics from Demo

I can't wait to see how far you niggas get to reachin' now

This the closest thing you niggas gettin' to a feature now

Backpedal gang 'cause a few of y'all been reachin' out

Y'all drew the line, what the fuck we gotta speak about?

Get your fuckin' head tapped, you niggas get to peekin' out

You had a song for four years, drop that shit and shut your mouth

[Outro]

Shut your mouth, nigga

It's me twice in my Big Three, I had to leave you out

Fuckin' dumb-ass nigga
