Pound Cake Freestyle
[Intro]
Live and direct!
It's Sway in the Morning!
Right here on SHADE 45
(Sway in the Morning)
Drake's dad's voice-
Only the real music's gonna last
Gravelly
All that other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow
Yeah
I like this beat, it's a cool beat
Yo, okay, um

[Verse 1]
Let ‘em speak
I know I’m meek, but the mills loud
I watch the throne, kings kill when the prince feels power
It’s the real deal, holy feel
Holy shit, holy grail
Silver spoon coon, young buffoon
Yeah, they know me well
I’m makin’ moves, couldn’t lose
Doing (???)
Hot on my own, self immolate, I could be a Buddhist
Hot on my own, check ya tone, check ya stance homie
You don’t even like me, you just tryna get my fans homie
So nerdy, but the flow wordy
Brain freezin’, but the flow slurpy
Ice cold, but you know I burn cash like I had herpes
Not true, but I’m that dirty
N***as quit bein’ hot, man, cold turkey
While I’m out in Kauai, man, soul-searchin’
And these n***as be afraid and I’m so certain
Cuz they don’t know what to do when the world’s broken
A lotta people try and go and talk shit
But ya girl stopped me on the street
Like a stop-and-frisk and a bunch of deet dots
Wanna talk a lotta shit, but that’s cool
Cuz in the real world, they really don’t exist
It’s all Because the Internet
Chance made millions, Hime made millions
Dan made millions, Kendrick made millions
I would too if I wasn’t in my feelings
[Bridge]
You know, cuz like, the people say money is not everything? But, money, it- you need money to do what you wanna do. Like money is power, honesty is power, truth is power, you know what I’m sayin’? (Word, word) That’s like, that’s what I’m sayin (That’s my point-) But at the same time they be tellin’ me, like y’know-

[Verse 2]
It ain’t nothin’ more important than the moola
You ain’t really eatin’ boy, you gotta get your food up
We so steady eatin’ baby, you already know dat
The way I’m droppin’ new shit, I’m sittin’ on the toilet
Every night I tour that moment
But you don’t take pictures when you’re rich, you just see it again
The only thing they really worry ‘bout is me in/and a pen
Wrote some shit on Instagram, I’m just bein’ honest
They tried to give ya boy pills like I’m bein’ violent
They tried to give ya boy pills just to keep him silent
Keep tellin’ people the truth, you could be iconic
They tried to give ya boy pills like he scarin’ us
Tried to stay inside, I don’t really like appearances
I try to stay inside, but everyone’s still got somethin’ to say
“Are you still on the show?”
“Are you datin’ Jhené?”
It’s deeper than that
Calico inside the handbag, I’m keepin’ the cat
I got some n***as in reserve like I’m deep in Iraq
And I’m deep in a rap and it’s deeper than rap (Mm) (Mm)
This is deeper than rap (Deeper than rap yo)
[Interlude]
Yo, let that beat play until that cake part comes up, I like that part, I like that part a lot
(Think about it! Childish Gambino)
(This is deeper than rap, let it play)

[Outro]
Cash rules everything around me, oh
Yeah, I like this
Mmmm, mm mm
Mm mm mm mm mm
Cake cake cake cake, birthday cake
Black and white, yo, that’s a zebra cake
Pancakes, wedding cakes
Nah that’s all I wanted to say-
