KAYTRANADA
IS MY MIC ON?
[Intro]
Yo, yo, ayy, ayy

[Verse 1]
It's the wild, wild West
Five-star n***as gettin' fly, I guess
You ain't seen a brother like moi, I bet
I'm the top Z, baby, rélé sakapfet
Uh, blood, sweat, and tears
Touch down in Hollywood, got new fears
Whatever I was livin' can't compare to over here
Whatever y'all was doin', y'all can keep it over there
Movin' like I, movin' like I don't give a care
But you won't catch me slipping
Glass of Dom P 'cause a n***a always winning
Life of a boss
Did I pay the price? Uh, you don't wanna know what the cost
This type of shit you can't even buy with no money
The wrist look scrummy, the drip too bummy
Your bitch look yummy, tryna catch Z's
She don't wanna sleep, wanna make it nasty, ah

[Chorus]
I don't know what they told you
I'ma do this for the culture
I'ma do what I'm supposed to
Mama said I'm too vulgar
I'ma do what I'm supposed to
Bring new shit to the culture
[Verse 2]
Uh, uh, yo, yeah, uh, is my mic on?
A n***a spittin' bars since I was a garçon
We will never be the kids that we once was
But this the closest I could get, I gotta show you
I remember when I wasn't smokin' doja
Straight-edge, gettin' tipsy off wine coolers
Mm, couldn't wait 'til I'd become adult
Wishin' I could go back to the way it was
Some people have it easy, other n***as don't
Fortunate enough to see both sides of the coin
There's no such thing as a perfect life
Let's not pretend I'ma sin tonight
Hop out the Benz, I ain't doin' no lines
Way too focused, tryna play things right
Still the same n***a, I just rock more clothes
Still the same n***a, I just got more hoes

[Bridge]
Uh, yeah, look what you started
Traveled 'cross the globe, I forgot to take it all in
There were days I couldn't afford shit
Always wanted more, but the struggle's more rewarding

[Chorus]
I don't know what they told you
I'ma do this for the culture
I'ma do what I'm supposed to
Uh, mama said I'm too vulgar
I'ma do what I'm supposed to
Bring new shit to the culture
