Retro, we may need your assistance
Took a trip to LA just
To see what all the hype was
Flagrant when I flow
I'm givin' beats a light shove (Okay)
If he want war, I'm pullin' strings, yeah
I might tug nigg*s used to hate
But now they showin' slight love
If I had to rate the head, five stars
Magnificent if I'm with my nigg*s
Then you know I'm actin' ignorant
Bring the same bag
But we finna split the difference
nigg*s cop a gun
Now they wanna act belligerent (Facts)
If her parents home
She throw it back rather quietly
nigg*s hate me, I'm a menace to society
(Damn) how you out here shootin' when
You know you got anxiety?
Made of many flows, nigg*s know I got variety
(Chill out, Retro) fiendin’ for my flows
Got 'em thinkin' I serve Adderall
Claimin' that you hard, but when it's time
You are not involved (The f*ck?)
Retro Edison, nigg*s been knew my protocol
nigg*s turnin' R&B
Why y'all chasin' waterfalls? (No, no, no)
Takin' rappers straight to school
Why you think I'm on the honor roll?
Don't love the ho
But treat her right 'cause
She played the role (She did though)
Even though I took a picture with her
We are not goals retro plugged in like your
Father's first console
So I'm 'bout to end it
Snappin' start to finish
So they always listen
Always listen, never droppin' fiction
That can't be my business
Doin' numbers daily
She gon' have to pay me if she want my baby
Plus, I'm livin' graily, I
Might call her, maybe
'cause I'm better lately
Two hundred K on promo, yes
I'm feelin' special
I ain't Shawn Michaels
I ain't tryna wrestle
(I ain't tryna wrestle)
I been goin' hard, I deserve a medal
Raisin' hell on these beats
But I'm not the devil
(f*ck you talkin' 'bout, Retro?)
Hit two hundred K, ayy, yeah
Hit two hundred K in LA, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hit two hundred K in LA, ha, yeah, yeah
Retro took a trip to LA just to

If he want war, I'm pullin' strings, yeah
I might tug nigg*s used to hate
But now they showin' slight love
