lyrics

(Intro)
Careful your trip
Careful your step, don't you know…

You're on the rope…
You're on the rope…

(Repeat three times)

Hope that you niggas stay broke, and your pockets stay low and you speak on my name and you choke
Like your baby, your mom, your girls and them throats
How could I not/knot when you're wearing the rope
How could I open them lanes and them doors, for niggas to cap and then die on my sword
Fuck all that rap, put barrels in your gourd
Fuck all that dap, mail a thumb to your girl
How did I climb up from nothing to stunting, and feeling the green from them gunners
And young niggas toes who barely in water
Nothing but gang?
Coulda left you to slaughter
Left you to (Hi)Tone
Left you to Growlers
Left you with tips, a pocket of dollars
Drop on a piece what you made in a summer
First that you saw when you niggas was slumming
Seven to rooms, praise be to god or I put you in tombs
Don't you forget that I made all the rules
When locals was stuck and then lacking the views
Bagging them up and flipping to move
Packing them out and then come out on blue
Counting my money on toilet seat views
And I aint even got to my finishing move, dont fuck with the dude
I aint the one for the pressing
Beat all of the drugs, the anger, depression
Cleaned it all up with the vans and the pedals
Just to invest in these gold and these records
Cooked up some product and made me some leverage
Sign me a deal and I’m still getting better
Know by the end that it’s rules and its levels
The reason you’re here, don't you ever forget it
Never forget it…
Don't you ever forget it…

(Outro)

Careful your trip
Careful your step, don't you know…

You're on the rope…
You're on the rope…
