ROCKSTAR (feat. Roddy Ricch)
Length: 3:01
Release: 2020
Opening Lyrics:
I pull up like
How you pull up, Baby? How you pull up? (Oh)
How you pull up? I pull up (Seth in the kitchen)
Let’s go
With the pistol on my hip like I’m a cop (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Have you ever met a real nigga rockstar?
This ain’t no guitar, bitch, this a Glock (woo)
My Glock told me to promise you gon’ squeeze me (woo)
You better let me go the day you need me (woo)
Soon as you up me on that nigga, get to bustin’ (woo)
And if I ain’t enough, go get the chop
I’m ready to hop out on a nigga, get to bustin’
Know you heard me say, “You play, you lay, ” don’t make me push the button
Full of pain, dropped enough tears to fill up a fuckin’ bucket
