RUSSIAN ROULETTE

from BLACK SHEEP by Tres Carter

/

lyrics

Turn ME on aphrodisiac
Last name is Carter I might be kin to that
Hot boy from Orleans, that Billionaire from Marcy
Wrist courtesy of Swarovski
MAC got my boo lips glossy
Listen being a boss cost me
We was talking 8 digit margins
Russian roulette (pow) 6 figure loses
Lessons learned in blood
Smart money knows when it’s time to shift markets
Time to switch offers
We aiming at different targets
Yours popularity, mine is the soul of the culture
I’m sick and tired of the vultures
It’s time to evolve
I’m thinking 6 generations out
As I brainstorm, looking at my Rainstorm
Lord help me stay calm
Help me get this to-do list down
Will I remember? nah.
That’s like my biggest flaw
God help me to stay strong
Help my marriage bed stay warm
We had some cold nights
Treat friends divorcing like warnings
Protect what’s most important
That’s why I guard the paint like prime Zo Morning
I am so hungry, family counting on me
Carter Carter Carter, the one and only
Hold up homie, don’t take that wrongly
I'll bring an army

Most of y'all just new pimps
You got 1 trick, you tripping
Now you slipping and can’t pivot
Like your trapped by Rodman and Pippen
I’m tryna be the MJ of parenting
K-o-b-e if we talkin bout rings
That's the winners circle
Watch me parlay brand equity to a legacy
Play the hand that was dealt to me
Like I'm Phil Ivey
I am Ivy League
Without even a degree
Hot like 500 degrees
For 260 weeks I read a book a week
I’m getting paid to speak
I’m getting paid to dream
That’s why I never sleep
This is off the dome
614 my home
Let me make it known
Shoutout V&M, we had a run, it was a love
Gotta know when to pivot
Gotta always handle business
I know some pissed but
If you woulda signed the line would've got a pension
The way it ended wasn’t part of the vision
But my position called for tough decisions
Even when they cause tension
As a result, distance
Now all I do is reminisce it
I wish the best for ya
COVID-19 brought the stress on ya
I pray God blesses what’s next for ya
You strong willed
I know you gone kill
I hope we all heal
This is so real
