lyrics

First five years was just practice
Raise the bar batting average
Pen unreal like it’s magic
Production expansive the flows are Atlantic
Glow from the soul like I’m northern Icelandic
I slander the pale kids that praise Eminem
Trying talk Hip Hop but have no Black friends
Ain’t payed a bill in they life but spend
All of daddies good money tryna be from the ends

You’re a wasteman
goofy lil wasteman
I don’t got the time of day fam
Rome wasn’t built in a year but it fell in a day fam
Goofy lil wasteman
I don’t got the time of day fam
Rome wasn’t built in a year but it fell in a day fam

Rogue one in a four door rogue
Got my daughter in the back seat and we on road
This ain’t Vogue, no pics, we don’t pose
Rules and regulations the fam got codes
Paper round the packaging and that’s two tone
Wrapped twice so that joint don’t fold Karim Flam
Cooked this up in the winter now the heat sound cold
Whether cheddar or feta, know my cheese ain’t old
Product in the passenger, WORD IS BOND manager
Marking my deliveries, logo like a banister
I’ve been shipping Tethered coast to coast
They recognize my kid at the Canada Post
But home ain’t the only place I parent
It’s apparent I could foster any rappers that’s comparing
S.O.A.P we the double headed GOAT no doubt
Need a double headed scope for you could take us out cause

You’re a wasteman
goofy lil wasteman
I don’t got the time of day fam
Rome wasn’t built in a year but it fell in a day fam
Goofy lil wasteman
I don’t got the time of day fam
Rome wasn’t built in a year but it fell in a day fam
