Gun in the holster be

Right in the upholstery

Somewhere right close to me



Just in case the rollers be

Rolling on the G

My woman keep it in the hosiery

I'm known in my town

In those strips where high-rollers be

I'm up early, where the money folders sippin' Folgers be

A country boy chilling in Brooklyn like Lefty spoke for me

f**k with us

You f**k with the truth, we speak openly

Never a rat, like Donnie Brasco, though

Cause there ain't no hoe in me



"Notice me, senpai!" they cry when I choke their speak

I'll set this crooked city on fire to light the smokery

Old timers speak of us hushed and clutch their rosaries

I lust after greatness, I'm aiming right at its ovaries

Better run from the future palooka (Haul off)

You acting like it's safe when the revolution's been (called off)

There's liars on the loose, if we listen to you we're (all lost)

The takers of the jewels never singing a tune at (all soft)



My mama said that I'm not living right

She said, "I'm crying on you"

She said, "I waited up for you all night"

I said, "I'm trying mama"

My mama said that I'm not living right

She said, "I'm crying on you"

She said, "I waited up for you all night"

I said, "I'm trying mama"



I smoke the holy herb, get high as hell and meditate

Swear to God, shit's so good, fat boy'll levitate

God gift to man, how the f**k they try to legislate

Mom's, she recovering, tell me I over-medicate

I tell her, "Holy f**k, Jesus Christ, give me a f**king break"

She said, "Don't curse your mama, goddammit," and threw a dinner plate (damn)



I heard it in Brooklyn where all the sinners stay

You running out of ways to go f**k yourself, I will innovate

The skin of your shitty grin will disintegrate

Every sickening sentence'll cheapen the tricks you venerate

Set the phaser to face-plate-incinerate

Run the Jewels, run with the Borg, baby, assimilate



My mama said that I'm not living right

She said, "I'm crying on you"

She said, "I waited up for you all night"

I said, "I'm trying mama"

My mama said that I'm not living right

She said, "I'm crying on you"

She said, "I waited up for you all night"

I said, "I'm trying mama"

My mama said that I'm not living right

(They want us die, mama)

My mama said that I'm not living right

(But I ain't crying, mama)

My mama said that I'm not living right

(You raised a liar mama

Now you lying, mama)

My mama said that I'm not living right

I said, "I'm trying mama"

(I'm crying on you, crying on you)

I said, "I'm trying mama"
