[Intro] [Mono signal. Crackling vinyl texture. Muffled gospel sample fades in.] Y'all. Ayy, I'm like a big-time fan of John Cena and stuff. You know, my word is my bond. And my bond is my word. John Cena said that. I love him. So, no more words, it's time to justify. Yeah, yeah. [Verse 1] I said, no more words, it's time to justify. Keep that blue steel on me, my gun like Aqua's eyes. Get you 'murked for real, if not, then you outta time. Yeah, I got that beam on me, green as apple pie. They say the best things in life are free, I still pay the price. How I'm gon' have a ghostwriter? I be writin' all my ghost stories. You say you feelin' froggy? Get left in the water with some dead floaties. You won't be the first and you won't be the last one to lie on my name. Your body won't be the first and it won't be the last that we find in the lake. I'm like James in his prime. Or more like Dame, more of a shooter, to be honest. I be with them bloods. And we go way back, they callin' me "red", no robin. No, I ain't Pusha, but I got the clips. You won't see tomorrow, don't play with this. [Bridge 1] Saying that you better, you dreamin' [Dreamin']. Stop sayin' my name in your rap [In your rap]. Get hit with the metal, you singin'. And you can take that to the bank. My word is my bond and my bond is my word. Yeah, shoutout to John Cena. [Verse 2] It's about to get ugly for you and the rest of your team. You need to make an adjustment. I'm from the block, I don't play 'bout the green. Like leprechauns, we get to jumpin'. You know what I mean, my money's long. I don't think you really know how long, like way long. I really get to it, been ballin' since babies. You know I been way strong. Like, way, way, way, way, way strong. I stay on my path, never stray. You just gon' do what you say, say, say. You the type to always say, "But wait". I'm the type to get the bag today. You the type to sit around and hate. I'm the type to get to workin'. They know I'm a wave, got the rest of 'em surfin'. [Verse 3] No more words, now it's time to start purgin'. Cuttin' the ties and burnin' the bridges. Sayin' goodbye to you and your missus. Now it's a witness, but I don't leave no witness. Don't talk to the police, so I'm never snitchin'. The flow is cold, I feel like Sub-Zero. If you act up, then I'm turnin' villain. And I'm startin' to feel like the bad guy. And you can get folded like tan lines. If I got the call, then it's flatline. I feel like I'm gangsta forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. Say it one more time. Gangsta forever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever. [Verse 4] Now, back to the green like the Celtics. I can be what I wanna be like I'm Kel. I'm bringin' the flames like some hell. I'm still in the cut, they can never cut ties. They talkin' to me, I don't see 'em. I'm standin' right here, and they talkin' to demons. They can see me, but they don't believe it. Steel in the jacket, I'm heavy with armor. Plantin' the seeds like a concrete farmer. The pavement is bleedin', the city is cold. Stories of legends are yet to be told. I walk in the shadows, I move in the mist. Got a list of the fakes that'll never be missed. [Bridge 2] It's time to put up or shut up. If I take an L, I get up, still a winner. And I got a crew full of ballers. Like we went to Duke, but it's not Carolina. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's time to put up or shut up. If I take an L, I get up, still a winner. And I got a crew full of ballers. Like we went to Duke, but it's not Carolina. [Verse 5] I’m the king of the dirt, the god of the grind. Leaving the weak and the weary behind. You talking that talk but you walking on glass. I’m the head of the school, you the tail of the class. No more debates and no more excuses. My flow is the medicine curing the bruises. I stand on the summit, I look at the view. There’s room for the gang but there’s no room for you. Clipped breaks, heart rate, living at top speed. Everything I want is everything I really need. [Outro] No more words, it's time to justify. Yeah, my word is my bond. And my bond is my word. You can take that to the bank. John Cena told me that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Ayy, let's get it. Nocturnal defiance. No more words. [Silence]
