KUDOS Lyrics
[Intro]
Memberships here are not given
It is earned
The price to get in
You know what you have to do
I’ll give you time to say your goodbyes
[Verse 1]
I used to ride rims on the foreignest drops
Used to cop blow for the foreignest thots
Was livin’ on edge like snow on a rock
Used to be that young nigga, now for sure, I’m not
I used to fuck hoes that was fuckin’ for sure
Fuck me and the bros, now I’m fuckin’ bitches with dough
On the road, fuckin’ after the show
So many hoes, shit got out of control
Yeah, I used to invest in the clique
But I stopped when that nigga ran off with the bricks
I was finna invest in a switch
But I stopped ’cause I felt like niggas might snitch
Hoop dreams used to be goals
‘Til I was on probation, Pops used to parole
Used to think devil after my soul
Got hit with 40 Glock, he was after me, for sure
[Chorus]
Kudos to everything that made me
But lately, everything I ain’t into
I said kudos to everything that made me
But lately, everything I ain’t into
[Verse 2]
Yeah, used to pull up hundred deep
In the club, pistol we sneak, took the guard, at least
‘Bout a hundred a piece, we wasn’t warrin’ with the weak
Them dudes across the street said Big U’s was a beast
I used to pull up with Bloods and Crips
They like, “How in the world do he do this?”
On top of that, I used to thug with Nip
We said, “Fuck what they say, nigga, we on it”
I used to do a lot of shit that’s not it
Used to fuck up the profit tryna show ’em I got it
Used to pop it, then I told self to stop it
Improved the wallet, I just gotta use the knowledge
Yeah, I used to think like a nigga that was broke
Now I think like a nigga that’s richer
These niggas tryna be like a nigga
I’m tryna be like a white motherfucker with figures
[Chorus]
Kudos to everything that made me
But lately, everything I ain’t into
I said kudos to everything that made me
But lately, everything I ain’t into
