[intro]
this is a note to myself, i’ve been feeling so low
i got this drink in a cup, cuz i’m going solo
i’m fucking hazy yeah i’m crazy in a purple polo
we ain’t in kansas anymore, yeah my name is toto
[hook]
play me poker, i’ll be flushing, you already know though
doesn’t matter if you’re straight, dos mil dieciocho
promise no strings attached like a broken yo-yo
we ain’t in kansas anymore, yeah my name is toto
[verse 1]
promise you ain’t nothing better
this an open letter, we’ll wear it like Hester
the question of whether/weather a person be fresher
but fresher is relative; bad way to measure;
in rapping today it’s not who is more clever;
it’s who got more treasure, in money, whatever
it’s who’s bank is deader, who rich and who debtor
they put in no effort i’m sick of this tether
to flexers, i’m vomiting mama’s spaghetti
all over my sweater, repenting my honesty
all i remember is lyrical pleasure
now lesser is better and nobody ever
would give a shit about a brother
tryna open up and tell the little motherfuckers
i be on it way back, this is payback
wish i didn’t say that cuz i’m laid back
oh no, i
need to sit down, need to sit down, yeah
saw your bitch now, saw your bitch now, yeah
fuckin lit now, fucking lit now, yeah
suck a dick now, suck a dick now,
[hook]
play me poker, i’ll be flushing, you already know though
doesn’t matter if you’re straight, dos mil dieciocho
promise no strings attached like a broken yo-yo
[verse 2]
ain't no washed up Kohler
ain't no Sace, Goyard
Don't just tell me no like Stanford and Elena Soler
sipping henney soda
wake me when I'm sober
thought you finished me? well you ain't even at the coda
[hook]
play me poker, i’ll be flushing, you already know though
doesn’t matter if you’re straight, dos mil dieciocho
promise no strings attached like a broken yo-yo
[outro]
i know you say that you’re happy
but no one knows what is happening but you
tell me what is the truth
no one knows what is happening with you
you always talk to yourself and
ignore the people around you, it’s true
so if you wanted to sell
you know you’re a top brand but we need the truth
[coda]
it’s true
i feel my voice fading away
now, my dear
don’t let me fade
26 years young
don’t lie to me now
you went too soon
i’m sorry
i’m home
