[Noname Gypsy:]
Who are you to tell me
I’m not warm enough for summertime?
I know that I can decide myself
But you don’t know me like the sun you’ve never seen my horizon

[Noname Gypsy:]
If I was everything I never was
Drugs got me bubbly suddenly mumbling simile meant to be for you now
The futile go fishing for moon over roof top
A new style for praying to everything I ever loved
My black boy outer space looking like a rain child
But but my body move like the sun

[Intro:]
Oh, oh, oh, incredible
I would… incredible
Everything…

[Verse 1 – Chance The Rapper:]
Socks on concrete, jolly rancher kids
I was talking back and now I gotta stay at grandma’s crib
Bunch of tank top, nappy headed bike-stealing Chatham boys

Picked by my NY peeps, TJ.

[Hook: Action Bronson]
Why you always all on my back?
Why you gotta do me like that?
Why you gotta act like a b—h when I’m with you?
Baby girl I’m blue

[Verse 1: Action Bronson]
Because you treat me like s–t
I paid for the bed and never even slept in it
I paid for that crib and never stepped foot in
And now somebody else is eating all the pudding
Things change now my dashboard wooden
All black Benz like a young Doc Gooden
Thug shades cause I’m stone crazy
Girl, we grown, stop playing on my phone, baby
All your childish attempts to make me angry fall short
Which only fuels the rage you have, because you have nothing
Understandable, I’m shining brilliant with 5 Brazilians
There were times I used to hide my feelings
Now I’m butt naked in the Lamborghini
And motherf–kers can’t see me
Wait ’till the chick see me on TV, I make the s–t look easy
Who would’ve thought I hit you right back?

[Hook: Action Bronson]
Why you always all on my back?
Why you gotta do me like that?
Why you gotta act like a b—h when I’m with you?
Baby girl I’m blue
