THE BARS.

Athletics — VERIFIED
[Hook: Daj]
Good plots in a bad setting
Good trees, blowing bad credit
Got my drive off of athletics
I apply it to this cash getting
No commas that's a bad sentence
Bag the work like I bag bitches
Better back back tryna bag, nigga
Unless ya backpack with a pass, nigga
Thin line between good and bad
Like the thin line between thick and fat
Snitching man, he like a vigilante
Doing all the work without a gun and badge
Niggas scared just to be yourself
That's why I be saying that these niggas ass
That's why I be saying that these niggas trash
But these trash bag niggas fucking glad

[Verse 1: Daj]
Good plots in a bad setting
Good trees, blowing bad credit
Got my drive off of athletics
Got my drive off of athletics
Athletics kept me out of trouble
But what happens when you can't play
Watching film turn to watch your back and plays now involve AK's
I know that she ready, she just need a push
I'll give her a push, I grew up off of Reggie Bush
Yeah, nigga, that's my bitch
You can speak but can't touch
She ain't never fagged off, you can call that love
Get a buzz off a drug, and I won't even think of my luck
But what's the chance of me to win
Same chance as Donald Trump, that's fasho
Came up off the pick and roll
Niggas always learn plays, I came up off an audible
I came up with my pockets low
But your financial status still sagging
Any L took gets passed
I'm Aaron Rodgers with this fucking passing
Tom Cruise with this fucking action
Timmy Turner with this fucking magic
Food stamps is my motivation
Going to practice gave me dedication

[Hook: Daj]
Good plots in a bad setting

Better back back tryna bag, nigga
Unless ya backpack with a pass, nigga
Thin line between good and bad
Like the thin line between thick and fat
Snitching man, he like a vigilante
Doing all the work without a gun and badge
Niggas scared just to be yourself
That's why I be saying that these niggas ass
That's why I be saying that these niggas trash
But these trash bag niggas fucking glad
