Pearly Gates
I've been showered with champagne and lovin'
They say my name when they notice me
When I'm gone, they gon' wish they were comin'
'Cause you ain't never met a soul like me (yeah)
I'm a rare one since I started back at square one
Give it everything I got, I never spared none
I've been the light in the dark for them like a flare gun
While I got a baddie in the Caddy with her hair done
Pullin' up like Dean Martin, carvin'
My lane in the game, all flame that's an arson
Smoke in the Range with a strain from the garden
They know the name, got the fame for a bargain
Just hard work, I ain't sell my soul
I had many a chance, but I'd tell them no
Fuck the world, anyone who's independent knows
And still they treat me like royalty wherever I go
I'm that genie in the lamp, son, you ain't never seen
Listen close, I'ma show you what a real one means
And there's no in-between, that's the fact of the matter
I ain't after the happily ever after, I'm after leavin' a legacy
Leave the next gen with the recipe
Livin' on through the lyrics and the melody
Whether I go tomorrow or it's in my late seventies
I guarantee that you mothafuckers gon' remember me
Dodgin' where the Devil be, tryna forge another path
Playin' to my specialties, livin' through my fuckin' raps
Keep the microphone with me like my other half
'Cause no matter where the fuck we at
I've been showered with champagne and lovin' (champagne and lovin')
They say my name when they notice me (notice me, yeah)
When I'm gone, they gon' wish they were comin' (wish they were comin')
'Cause you ain't never met a soul like me
'Til I'm in that black hearse pullin' up in the box
It's a lost cause even tryna come for the spot
When I really leave, than y'all see what you all got
Good luck fillin' my shoes, I'm a size y'all not
But when it's all done and I really do leave
Don't grieve, I'll be right upstairs rollin' my weed
Honestly some of y'all gon' wish you came with me
Biggest party in the afterlife since they claimed Biggie
In the champagne room doin' molly and coke
While down on Earth I'm livin' on through all the songs that I wrote
I'll be up on the balcony rollin' trees and get blown
While Amy Winehouse duets with Nina Simone
Thugs mansion after-party doin' shots with Pac
And Frank Sinatra while we rollin' up with Peter Tosh
And Marley, Chris Farley and Basquiat
'Til I dip with Marilyn Monroe givin' me top
Shit it's all good, on a sky-way just cruisin'
With James Gandolfini lightin' up a Cuban
Pull up at the pearly gates lookin' like a boss
Ask Bob Ross, yo this celebration' goin' off
Ain't no COVID up here, shit we packin' a room
Only one wearin' a mask is MF DOOM
So when you hear the bass bangin' from the sky and you wonder why
That's just the party on the other side
I've been showered with champagne and lovin' (champagne and lovin')
They say my name when they notice me (notice me, yeah)
When I'm gone, they gon' wish they were comin' (wish they were comin')
'Cause you ain't never met a soul like me
