"ELEMENT."

New Kung Fu Kenny

Ain't nobody prayin' for me

Y'all know, what happens on Earth stays on Earth

Here we go!

I don't give a fuck, I don't give a fuck

I don't give a, I don't give a, I don't give a fuck

I'm willin' to die for this shit

I done cried for this shit, might take a life for this shit

Put the Bible down and go eye for an eye for this shit

D-O-T my enemy, won't catch a vibe for this shit, ayy

I been stomped out in front of my mama

My daddy commissary made it to commas

Bitch, all my grandmas dead

So ain't nobody prayin' for me, I'm on your head, ayy

Thirty millions later, know the feds watchin'

Auntie on my Telegram like, "Be cautious!"

I be hangin' out at Tam's, I be on Stockton

I don't do it for the 'Gram, I do it for Compton

I'm willin' to die for this shit, nigga

I'll take your fuckin' life for this shit, nigga

We ain't goin' back to broke, family sellin' dope

That's why you maney-ass rap niggas better know

If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy

If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy

I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy

They won't take me out my element

Nah, take me out my element

I'm allergic to a bitch nigga, ayy

An imaginary rich nigga, ayy

Seven figures ho, that's slimmer than my bitch figure, ayy

Goin' digital and physical on all y'all, ayy

Bunch of criminals and money in my phone calls, ayy

We okay, we let the A1 fly

Relocate, jump on the same G5

Checkin' for me heavy 'cause I go, yeah, I go, yeah

They never been ready, yeah, I know, yeah, know, yeah

100K spread across the floor, 'cross the floor, yeah

None of y'all fuckin' with the flow, yeah, the flow, yeah

Years in the makin', and don't y'all mistake it

I got 'em by a landslide, we talkin' about races

You know this'll never be a tie, just look at they laces

You know careers take off, just gotta be patient

Mr. One through Five, that's the only logic

Fake my death, go to Cuba, that's the only option

If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy

If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy

I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy

They won't take me out my element

Nah, take me out my element

Damned if I do, if I don't (Yuh)

Goddamn us all if you won't (Yuh)

Damn, damn, damn, it's a goddamn shame

You ain't front in line, get out the goddamn way

Niggas thought they wasn't gonna see me, huh?

Niggas thought that K-Dot real life

Was the same life they see on TV, huh?

Niggas wanna flex on me and be in L.A. for free, huh?

Next time they hit the 10 freeway, we need a receipt, huh?

'Cause most of y'all ain't real, most of y'all gon' squeal

Most of y'all just envy, but jealousy get you killed

Most of y'all throw rocks and try to hide your hand

Just say his name and I promise that you'll see Candyman

Because it's all in your eyes, most of y'all tell lies

Most of y'all don't fade, most of y'all been advised

Last LP I tried to lift the black artists

But it's a difference 'tween black artists and wack artists

If I gotta slap a pussy-ass nigga, I'ma make it look sexy

It's the one and only, the world's greatest, the Kid Capri

If I gotta go hard on a bitch, I'ma make it look sexy

I pull up, hop out, air out, made it look sexy

They won't take me out my element

Nah, take me out my element
