what it cost Lyrics

(Ayy, Rvssian)

Yeah, talk to me nice or don't talk to me twice
I been in my bag
Paranoid, I got PTSD, thirty in my mag
I came from rags to riches, I ain't tryna go back to the rags
My new lil' bitch been tripping, I ain't really tryna be no dad
I thought you seen it in me, I'm a star
Won't switch the wrap, a nigga switched the car
I left the Earth and ended up on Mars
That mean I'm sitting next to the stars
I thought you seen it on me, I got scars
Rather be judged by twelve than be carried by six
But I still won't see no bars
I never knew tears was what it cost

I got a bad bitch but don't need her
I got a bad bitch but'll leave her
I hang with bakers like Anita
And I had some bad dreams 'bout the reaper
I just rock Off-White, not Adidas
I just might Off-White my tuxedo
These niggas act, Danny DeVito
I know she a freak bitch with the Speedo, I'm givin' her
I'm tryna run up them dividends
She lost her mind if she think I'm gon' give her some
Say she a fish in the pond, I'm a bigger one
It don't take shit to go get a gun
I made it out, I was just with the little one
How you an activist and you ain't did enough?
Pray to God 'bout my life then I live it up (live it up, live it up)

Yeah, talk to me nice or don't talk to me twice
I been in my bag (I been in my bag)
Paranoid, I got PTSD, thirty in my mag (thirty in my mag)
I came from rags to riches
I ain't tryna go back to the rags (back, back, back)
My new lil' bitch been tripping, I ain't really tryna be no dad
I thought you seen it in me, I'm a star
Won't switch the wrap, a nigga switched the car
I left the Earth and ended up on Mars
That mean I'm sitting next to the stars
I thought you seen it on me, I got scars
Rather be judged by twelve than be carried by six
But I still won't see no bars
I never knew tears was what it cost

I hit it one time with no cutter
Switchin' bitches like switching whips, nigga fuckin'
See me with another bitch, I'm up to something
See you with the opps, we catch 'em, get to dumpin'
He in the past, I put lil' bro and n'em on his ass
Cartier, thought this would be my last
Took a year, ran it up, and I did it fast
I put the losses with the wins
Introduced bosses to my friends
Introduced friends to the bosses
So we all could be bosses at the end
Took the bitch from a seven, turned her to a ten
Now the bitch want a big bag with no glint
I knew the world was fucked, I fucked a stripper bitch
Seen the condom pop and then she grinned, damn

Yeah, talk to me nice or don't talk to me twice
I been in my bag (I've been in my bag)
Paranoid, I got PTSD, thirty in my mag
I came from rags to riches, I ain't tryna go back to the rags
My new lil' bitch been tripping
I ain't really tryna be no dad
I thought you seen it in me, I'm a star
Won't switch the wrap, a nigga switched the car
I left the Earth and ended up on Mars
That mean I'm sitting next to the stars
I thought you seen it on me, I got scars
Rather be judged by twelve than be carried by six
But I still won't see no bars
I never knew tears was what it cost
