[Verse I]
I guess it's the answer
Grandson of a minister and son of a bastard
Born in the zodiac sign right after Cancer
You prolly thought that I'd be pulling up in a Casper
An engineer, producer, and obviously rapper
They thought this shit was funny 'til I silenced the laughter
I used to want to be a president, the first black one
Before Obama became a factor
Don't call me an actor unless you see my name on top billing
You know, 40 chillin', something like Krillin
Still in all black, shouts out to The Villain
Still get that hype when we step in the building
Still distilling what I feel from what from what's real
At this point, might damn near just take a dеal
Nah fuck it, they know it's Riptide til a n***a kick the buckеt
Got it zip tied like zippers on luggage
The baggage came with name tags
But no free press, you know we don't play that
Drake warming up at Kentucky
Gon' be way off when you shoot, you can't touch me
To all my opps still breathing, count yourself lucky
Soon you'll be rolling in deep shit like Adele's puppy
They see me rolling the weed, finna get real shrubby
I could be gone for a year, the city'll still love me
[Chorus]
I ain't soft, just quiet
I'll really turn this bitch into a riot
You got smoke, I'll meet you
Hit this button combo, now you see through
You got a gun? This the south, n***a, me too
We got drums like an HBCU
We got sticks like an HBCU
We get high like the woodwinds
Smoke one and smoke again
Have her screaming like the high brass
When I'm off in that ass
This here my favorite instrument, I play her everyday
And I never gave a fuck bout what a n***a had to say

[Verse II]
It be the n***a with the cool name
Black tee, jeans and the Jordans with the blue suede
Walk kinda funny, I keep losing all my shoestrings
N***as think it's sweet, ain't no sugar like I'm white people kool-aid
I get in where I fit in
And I mix sin when I spit like juice and gin
Gas got me coughing like I challenged cinnamon
Take your mama out and buy din' like I'm Finnegan
(The Secret Service gon' be on my ass!)
You thought the kid was polishing before
Rap is my house, working on remodeling the floor
And I'm bout to kick the door in, until it's open
They know it's over, they already started coping
To some people, I'm a regal dude
Other folks scared to say my name like I'm Beetlejuice
Man these people been against us, I done seen the proof
Victim of the system, steady screaming "fuck Regalview"
Real quick, here's a fact check
Plenty n***as call me goat, but I ain't that yet
I ain't even got the access
But it'll happen in the blink of an eye, no reason to lie
You know I'm Himothy, it's easy to see
Yeah she might be with you, but she's thinking of me
So next time you're over there holding your daughter
Remember, your baby mama wish her last name was Tolbert
And that go for em both
I say the least but I'm doing the most
Shout out to P, Bambeno and Ghost
We ain't in like Glenn but we real damn close
Spoken by a true poet from the 9
It don't matter who you see me with, just know lil baby fine
It don't matter who you see me with, just know lil baby mine
Shit, you prolly seen me with a couple at the same time
[Chorus]
I ain't soft, just quiet
I'll really turn this bitch into a riot
You got smoke, I'll meet you
Hit this button combo, now you see through
You got a gun? This the south, n***a, me too
We got drums like an HBCU
We got sticks like an HBCU
We get high like the woodwinds
Smoke one and smoke again
Have her screaming like the high brass
When I'm off in that ass
This here my favorite instrument, I play her everyday
And I never gave a fuck bout what a n***a had to say
