[Verse 2]
Finally killed✦ the King's Disease, I see what a genius✦ see
Unclutter your mind for once, let me set the scenery
Put down the diamonds and blunts, put down the wine and the cups
Put your ideas in play, it ain't what it seem to be
Don't get stuck in the Hollywood shuffles
Did a show, they snuck in the trailer✦ and stole the duffle
You thinkin'✦ major, they thinkin'✦ tiny,✦ they tried to Deebo✦
Please don't remind✦ me the reason✦ I bought these Desert Eagles✦
Got Ron Isley✦ age difference on my missus✦ wishes✦
Hit a store the receipt look like a Christmas wish list
Cougars waist trainin', salute,✦ amazin',✦ ain't it?
Health, I praise the single mom life, casual✦ datin'✦
I can put a love story✦ on the silver✦ screen
Then put this song in the trailer,✦ you see it in between
The nightly news and the shows you be watchin'✦ on the sofa✦
She text me, "Come over,✦ let's play your discography"
She in disbelief just from my 2020s run
I'm the inspiration,✦ I ain't gotta✦ look for none
This one is Goliath big, leaped✦ over✦ a giant bridge
Called✦ my counterparts, I told 'em they gotta✦ try this shit
[Bridge]
We holdin'✦ leadership conferences, haha,✦ yeah
For the hood, for the kids
Let's win, let's win
Let's win, let's win
[Outro]
Credits roll
Six albums, in how many✦ years?
We havin'✦ fun, a crazy✦ run, time flies
Dial the number,✦ 1-800-Nas&Hit✦
That's, 1-800-Nas&Hit,✦ leave us a message
Let us know when y'all want us back again✦
We'll spin the block to be there for you

"they tried to Deebo"
① A verb reference to the character Deebo from the movie 'Friday', meaning to bully or physically rob someone.② A shorthand for the predatory industry practices he experienced regarding the theft of his property.
