Intro:
Down, down, down, down, down
Don't nobody own us, still
Pre-Hook:
Yeah, woke up, glow up (glow up)
Yeah, they still don't know us, so what? (So what?)
Yeah, nothin' but Saints here, NOLA, get no love
Hate talk, that's my bonus (that's my bonus)
For my quota
Hook:
Boy, don’t nobody own us
HGA, that's the law here
Spurgeon with the Baldwin
Commas way after callin'
Patrick Ewing in the Garden
Goin' for my people starvin'
Keepin' up with no Joneses
Generous with my goal, yeah
Boy, don’t nobody own us
Verse 1:
Now they gon' talk
Print our own merch, so we got our own shop
Cool down here, man, you got it on top
Free as my own hair 'cause I got it on lock
Count it all loss, count it all loss
Excuse me, I'm just tryna trust God
Finished off my last bit of debt and love is my only possession
Nobody change my direction
Hook:
No, no, no, nobody owns us, owns us
This right here ain't a loaner, loaner
I move forward, too focused, too focused
All out of games, no tokens
I am not no token
Boy, don't nobody own us
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa (nobody own us)
Whoa, whoa, whoa (boy, don't nobody own us)
Post-Hook:
Yeah, bet the bag on my, uh, yeah
Bet the bag on myself, yeah
I am not by myself, yeah
Boy, don't nobody
Own us (Ooh)
Own us (Ooh)
Own us (Ooh)
Verse 2:
I taught KBJ, yeah, no, no nonsense
Never cautious 'cause I can't miss when it's God in the cockpit
See my options in the pocket
I don't need a quarter back from your profit (Can't buy me)
Not a conflict in my conscience
Comments never stopped him
Optics for the God head, I'm '92 Compton
Ride for the King, dodge this when we charge in
I'm not debating
I'm not the paper
I'm not the sales
I'm not the likes
I'm not the favors
I'm not the streams
I'm not the cable
I'm not gon' fight for seats, I bought the table, God is able
So let me break it down with the vigor, sit with this immigrant
I pick it and kick it, the Spirit has quickened a lyricist
Tryna be like Him, synonym, ain't no pretendin' here
Period, better consider this, here it is
Kingdom is killin' it, woo
I just gave a check
In the gym with the set, all we do is rep
Ain't worried 'bout the next boy, yeah, yeah
I'm just makin' plays, Broadway in the flesh
Bridge:
I'm in my bag, I'm back-to-back
Compassionate with a pastorate with a fashion sense
Don't try to tell me how to act in this
I'm black and rich, in the Nazareth
Attached to Him, little activist
And I'm back to biz, impact some kids
The facts are lit, the immaculate fact it is
That we only want manumit
Pre-Hook:
Woke up, glow up
Yeah, a lot of y'all still don't know us, uh, so what?
Yeah, He said death can't hold up, hold up, yeah
I'ma tell y'all my motive, motive, motive, motive, motive, motive
Hook:
Boy, don't nobody own us, own us
This right here ain't a loaner, loaner
I move forward, too focused, too focused
All out of games, no tokens
I am not no token
Boy, don't nobody own us
