ROI Lyrics by A-Q
I understand you might never shake my hand (hmm mm)
The root cause of the matter was Industry plants (oh lord)
All that shit you say
Same lips you use to pray
Depends on what the reaper says
The ricochet may hit your face (woo)
Still not doing giveaways
Let’s see how much your liver takes
The ether will precipitate
And e go touch everybody boy don’t get in the way
This is my return on investment
It’s my time to liquidate (hmm)
Look at how they're struggling
Sold their cars couldn’t keep up with the opulence
Sold their soul without proofreading the documents
Bentleys and G wagons now funds are insufficient
Driving motors from the 2010’s
Wife’ing models from the 80’s when
Too many moving parts upgraded inside the Benz
With necklaces like unfortunate chain of events my God (oh my God)
Careers on the 4th cycle (yea)
Who you tryna lie to?
I know your false idols
Your fake haikus no longer goes viral
Words hit like hidden books from a lost Bible
Dead sea scroll past this is homicidal
Watching them all spiral no rivals
Finger on the trigger bout to hit the button on these diddy type niggas
Partying with power bottoms I’m like
I understand you might never shake my hand (hmm mm)
The root cause of the matter was Industry plants (oh lord)
All that shit you say
Same lips you use to pray
Depends on what the reaper says
The ricochet may hit your face (woo)
Still not doing giveaways
Let’s see how much your liver takes
The ether will precipitate
And e go touch everybody boy don’t get in the way
This is my return on investment
It’s my time to liquidate (hmm)
I got more shit to say (hmm)
God put his blessings to it (hmm mm)
I put my blood into it till I became anaemic to it (go)
Switched the brand beheld the Lamb and saw what death influenced (hmm)
Destined to do it
Revelations and the Lexus coupe is (uh)
80 on the mainland bridge I’m barely moving
Health improving baggage in the glove compartment
Trunk is where I keep delusion (yea)
I had to let it go (oh yea)
My bro I had to let it go (oh yea)
Had to get the business right and focus on the decimals (come on man)
Lawyers for the legal crisis
Had to write the blueprint twice (uh)
Had to save my cheerios (uh)
I had to get my people nice (uh)
Bkay on some double digits
Blew it all and never knew it (come on man)
Spyro hit me up and had him sitting on close to half a million (woo)
Zhus came out with flying colors (oh yea)
Don’t let that double miss you (hmm mm)
He ain’t tryna kick it with you (Naa)
He ain’t tryna keep it peaceful (Naa)
Blaq is still the one as long as I’m here he will never lose it
Standing on integrity
My words are never drug influenced (yea)
I understand you might never shake my hand (hmm mm)
The root cause of the matter was Industry plants (oh lord)
All that shit you say
Same lips you use to pray
Depends on what the reaper says
The ricochet may hit your face (woo)
Still not doing giveaways
Let’s see how much your liver takes
The ether will precipitate
And e go touch everybody boy don’t get in the way
This is my return on investment
It’s my time to liquidate
