[Intro]
Nah man, I'm good
I got to be somewhere and it ain't here
I wish you the best though
That just ain't me, let's go

[Verse 1]
It’s a lot of shady folks living on the planet
Some of the worst ones be up in your own family
Whole city full of evil bastards
I trust gangstas more than the pastors
Stop breaking bread with small minds
Rule one: protect your energy at all times
Build your circle with real women and real dudes
Miserable people walk in a room and kill moods
K-Rino don’t entertain what they talking ‘bout
Once I see ‘em walking in, I be walking out now
Ain’t tryna hear no pettiness, you dumb as hell
Don’t put me on no gossip, put me on that money trail
Trouble around me, I’ma break those walls
Messy conversations, I don’t even take those calls
Some people wanna see everyone fail
Deception outside steppin’ like Le’Veon Bell yeah

[Chorus]
I’m just staying out the way
I’m just staying out the way
I’m just staying out the way
All that petty bullsh—, that ain’t how I operate
Can’t be messing ‘round, boy, these streets is too hot to play
Caught up in some silly madness, nah, not today (not today)
[Verse 2]
You’re feeling like your patience is long gone
Can’t even find peace of mind in your own home
Bad moods, attitudes goin’ on strong
People talkin’ to you in the wrong tone
And I ain’t taking that one second, black
Tryna learn how to think instead of just react
Sometimes you snap when folks don’t respect the fact
Then they tell you that you’re wrong when you check ‘em back
Nah, that’s when their true colors start to wring out
It seem like every year, so I gotta clean house
Gotta clear the artificial people from the air
Now you’re changing phone numbers like underwear
Want to know how you fell off of your game quick
Because in life you become who you hang with
A lot of cats play the partner role on the scene
Just ‘cause you wear my uniform don’t mean you on my team

[Chorus]
I’m just stayin’ out the way
I’m just stayin’ out the way
I’m just stayin’ out the way
All that petty bullsh—, that ain’t how I operate
Can’t be messin’ ‘round, boy, these streets is too hot to play
Caught up in some silly madness, nah, not today (not today)
[Verse 3]
I ain’t hatin’ on your hustle, get it how you live
But if it ain’t for me, I’ma take it to the crib
It ain’t right to play with freedom every night and day
I watched too many of my patners throw their life away
Every lick ain’t for you, it’s time to learn now
Understand it’s certain things you gotta turn down
People plotting, everybody out for your profit
Now every dollar that you stacked up, your lawyer got it
No more time to run streets every night, hanging
Certain decisions that you make can be life-changing
I ride solo like that man on the Polo
Keeping my thoughts quick, even when I’m moving in slow-mo
I’m staying far out your area
And money’ll make a upright man get out of character
Taking drama from my vocabulary
Even the one you’re sleeping next to can prove to be your adversary

[Chorus]
I’m just stayin’ out the way
I’m just stayin’ out the way
I’m just stayin’ out the way
All that petty bullsh—, that ain’t how I operate
Can’t be messin’ ‘round, boy, these streets is too hot to play
Caught up in some silly madness, nah, not today (not today)
