[INTRO — SPOKEN / RECORD CRACKLE] Ski Mask Mayhem. Omma… (And if you don’t know ) Now you you know [VERSE 1 — THE DREAM / THE DOUBTERS] Haters swore it was all a dream, Now the same ones watchin’ my stream. (Look) I was dead broke, still looked clean, Big-ass plans on a cracked phone screen. Cold little room, heat cut low, One black hoodie, nowhere to go. Wrote my first bars by the stove, Couldn’t buy lunch—still fed that flow. (Facts) They said, “Be real, that shit won’t pop,” I got real quiet and doubled the plot. First lil’ bag made straight off grit, Didn’t even flex—I flipped that bitch. (Run it) Stayed ten toes when the rent came fast, Stacked every blue like the drought might last. Now when I step, whole room get tense— Pretty-ass problem with expensive intent. (Grr) (And if you don’t know ) Now you you know [PRE-HOOK — MELODIC BUILD] Came from the floor, now the floor got stars, Used to count change, now I’m counting up large. They ain’t believe till the proof got dressed— Black quarter zip with the armor underneath. (Bow, bow) [HOOK — BIG, SINGABLE] If you ain’t know then, now you know, Bulletproof vest under quarter-zip clothes. (Stay ready) Haters said the whole thangs dream, I stacked mine fast—never once pressed. (Never) If you ain’t know then, now you know, Money came quick, but the grind slow. Whole team ate when the door closed— I was built for this shit, now everybody knows. (And if you don’t know ) Now you you know (OMMA) [VERSE 2 — THEN VS. NOW] Used to stretch meals, split fries four ways, Now it’s steak downtown on a random Tuesday. Used to duck calls when the light bill hit, Now the chandelier cost what the old crib did. (Damn) Mama needed help, I ain’t send no prayer— Sent the whole amount, told her breathe, it’s handled. Fridge used to hum with a bottle of water, Now both doors packed and the ice come smarter. (Ha) First clean whip had the seat leaned back, Now the roof disappear when I tap that black. Used to window-shop with my hands in my coat, Now the clerk know the face even under the cloak. Gold on my neck, but the scars still there, New money loud—I don’t gotta declare it. No handouts came when the cupboard went bare, So I tax every room just for having me there. (Pay me) [PRE-HOOK — MELODIC BUILD] Came from the floor, now the floor got stars, Used to count change, now I’m counting up large. They ain’t believe till the proof got dressed— Black quarter zip with the armor underneath. (Brrr) [HOOK] If you ain’t know then, now you know, Bulletproof vest under quarter-zip clothes. Haters said the whole damn thing was a dream, I stacked mine fast—never once got pressed. (At all) If you ain’t know then, now you know, Money came quick, but the grind came slow. Whole team ate when the front door closed— I was built for this shit, now everybody knows. (They know) [VERSE 3 — SUCCESS / SECURITY / LEGACY] Now the back room smell like leather and pape’, Two phones chirpin’, both tied to plays. Suite top floor, city under my feet, Still park where the cameras cover the street. (Smart) Extendo tucked, but the fit stay tailored, Gold little buckle, black boots alligator. Draco in the movie when the scene turn wicked— All cinematic, but the stare authentic. (Grrr) I don’t move sloppy just because I got rich, New money make fools—I ain’t new to this shit. Same day-ones got a plate and a seat, If I call it family, everybody gon’ eat. No fake love at the table I built, No loose lips ’round the cards I was dealt. I made pain turn product, made doubt turn digits— Now they quote my words like they came with scripture. (Talk heavy) Still thank God, but I lock that door, Still show love, but I watch that love. Dream came true with a vest underneath— Success look good, but it came with teeth. (Bow, bow) [FINAL HOOK — LAYERED VOCALS] If you ain’t know then, now you know, Bulletproof vest under quarter-zip clothes. (Underneath) Haters said the whole damn thing was a dream, I stacked mine fast—never once got pressed. (Never got pressed) If you ain’t know then, now you know, Money came quick, but the grind came slow. (Came slow) Whole team ate when the front door closed— I was built for this shit, now everybody knows. [OUTRO — SPOKEN] Funny how a “dream” start lookin’ real Soon as everybody else can see it. Too late now. (Now you know…) Ski Mask Mayhem.
