Lyrics:
Barack Obama, ha! Is that some kind of sauce?
That's Lido!

Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
I used to be feening for ‘em, dreaming in the classroom
Turned in my exam, right then I knew it’d be the last room
For school I walk into felt my potential getting past due

Four years later, and my racks blue
And my whole team is seeing green like "yo, she acts too!"
Now people take, and in your face, say "I ain't ask you"
But you been seeing how they live, so they ain't have to
And the whole world is conversating ‘bout your waist line
And mental health days make you guilty, ‘cause you waste time
I’m fighting everybody demons, but can't face mine
Baseline, use all that pain and anger and just make rhymes
How I'm uplifting your whole life but still I hate mine?
How I get rich but still get pissed about the money?
Now everybody wanting me to wear a fake smile
How I'm supposed to fake a laugh when ain't sh*t funny?
I'm running, but

Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Dropping all this change, just gon' end up in the vacuum
It was days I thought I need it
But now accepting all the change got me defeated (ah)

Goddamn, I'm on my second pair
One pair is out, one in the closet ‘cause I left ‘em there
Remind me every single night spent writing raps ups in my closet
I ain’t sleep much, but it paid off ‘cause it got me here
I went to Europe, met a fan who lived in Paris
I know it hit me, ‘cause I started walking different
For once in life, I spoke my mind, I’m not embarrassed
So many stories, but my friends don't even listen
The only girl who got my heart live in Miami
I saw her smiling in my head, I started planning
And listen, sh*t may change, but one day yeah I want a family
Already got a puppy, now my child the first of many
Got hella dreams, and as of late I steady see ‘em
I had some idols as a kid, whoever knew I’d be one?
'09 stood in Atlanta, freezing cold at 4 am with my whole fam just to audition for a role I knew I'd be in
I didn't make it, but damn I made it
2-0-1-9 the year I waited
My mind been racing, getting closer, I can taste it
Got a story but I don’t know how to pace it
This lightning in a bottle, I been ordering in cases
I'm f*cking wasted, but

Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Starving for affection, someone meet me in the backroom
I'm not insane, it's been a minute
But if we talking ‘bout a game, I know I'm ‘bout to win it, yeah

Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got
Goddamn, I got Balencies in the bathroom
