Ali, you thirsty on Twitter
You boo-boo, you T'd
You turnt down, you thirsty
You boo-boo
Uh, I'm tryna learn somethin' new
I'm tryna find myself, I'm searchin' deep for Kendrick Lamar
I read about Napoleon Hill and try to know God
They say He the key to my blessings
And if I speak the good into existence, that instant my dreams will unlock
Money flow like water, I'll just wait at the dock
And by the way, I'ma start findin' more light to shed
Like a small garage in your backyard
I'm back chillin' with a friend of mine, she mighty fine
But I notice that her heart resides next to bitterness
Always hollerin' who she don't like and who she kick it with
Who she wanna fight, who wearin' a weave
Who Dooney and Bourke bag is fake, who holdin' the keys
To the car she drove last year
Or who fuckin' on who and who need a pap smear
Gettin' on my nerves, but before your negative energy curve
Bitch, I'ma cut you off
'Cause every time you come around, you be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say, oh my god
Shut the fuck up, ho
Every time you come around, you be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say
Uh, I'm tryna learn somethin' new
I'm tryna surround myself with people that inspire me
Or at least inquire similar desires to do what it T-A-K-E just to reach the T-O-P
I'm talkin' ideas, motivation, it's more than making enemies, my ****
Oh, that's not your memo?
Then tell me why you constantly stressin' on how you well connected like centipedes, my ****
I function with you and you flaunt your pistol
Every second, tell me how you pressed 'em at the Monte Cristo
Where so and so from, and what neighborhoods beefin'?
Who baby mama's a rat and who got killed last weekend?
That shit is mad depressin', bringin' me down
Speak on somethin' with some substance that can get us both paid
Rather than tellin' me how these **** jackin' your style
Or his rims ain't bigger
Pussy ****, I'ma cut you off
'Cause every time you come around, you be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say, oh my god
Shut the fuck up, scary ass
Every time you come around, you be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say
Uh, I'm tryna learn somethin' new
I'm tryna better my chances of becomin' a star
I'm tryna feel the vibe of Mona Lisa studyin' art
Now paint that picture
Life behind bars, remember the very day I got caught?
I murdered a rapper and you filed the police report?
See, what I was taught, family is all I need
But indeed, them too can run me right up a tree
Constantly talkin' shit 'bout the next relative
Wantin' me to take sides, but I'd never give in
Ever since grandma died, everyone parted ways
Argue on holidays, left my uncle in prison for fifteen years
No one paid him attention but moms
Yeah, my mama as loyal as any sister would come
Come to my house just to yap about your own people, dang
And if your blood wasn't running through my veins
I would probably cut y'all off too, yep
'Cause every time you come around, y'all be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say, oh my god
Shut the fuck up, keep it runnin', Ali
Every time you come around, you be hollerin' that
Whoop-de-woo, blah-zay-blah
He say, she say
So, tell 'em, "Shut the fuck up"
Tell 'em, "Shut the fuck up"
Yeah, bitch, you boo-boo, you T'd
You turnt down, you thirsty
Tell 'em, "Shut the fuck up"
Tell 'em, "Shut the fuck up"
Yeah, ****, you boo-boo, you T'd
You turnt down, you thirsty
You thirsty, you boo-boo
You T'd, you turnt down
You boo-boo, you T'd
You boo-boo, you turnt down
You thirsty, you T'd
You boo-boo, you turnt down
You boo-boo, you T'd
You turnt down, you weak
You weak, your bitch weak, yeah
You boo-boo, you T'd
Keep all that
What is HiiPoWer?
HiiPoWer is the way we think, the way we live
See, it's known today that the human race is nothin'
No morals, no standards
What we're about to do is raise the level of expectations
No, you don't have to have a lot of money
You don't have to be rich
But you will be rich in mind and spirit
Some say it's big as a crew
Some say it's big as a gang
HiiPoWer
We stand for it as if it's big as a religion
