If you don’t me by now
If you don’t me by now
If you don’t me by now
If you don’t me by now

Don’t know
Don’t know
Don’t

When I’m in a bad feel yea
The pain when I’m…
Thinking ’bout it yea
I will not fall
Beat the times, thank God
Grandmother…
Great grandmamma, thank God
My daddy’s gone

“Lines”
from Big Boi’s 2012 release Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors
Now that’s what I’m talking ’bout
Year of the ASAP Mob

[Verse 1: ASAP Rocky]
Lines – tell them read between it
Tripping while I’m slipping, busy fighting off these demons
Listen while I’m spitting boy, you probably won’t believe it
But life is so terrific, tell them pinch me if I’m dreaming
Revenue’s what I get get, your b—h is what I did hit
And I’m bout my business, them pesos what I did get
Made a hit, had a fix, they saying you’s the shiznit
Tell them get off my diznick, you bucketheaded b—-es
Crossing all the lines, time is only racing time
He flippin to the bars so I’m only raising mine
Depending on the grind is the only way to shine
So I’m feeling like that odds is the only state of mind
And it’s finna give me peace, life up in these streets
Equipped with a piece, case you n—s wanted beef
Cause man gave us laws and God gave us time
It’s the art of storytelling and I’m only telling mine

Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.
