Hand Over Fist (O.G.)

You gave me your attention
And I paid it back
Maybe I misread your intention
Weren't prepared for that
Damn
Rejection really makes the man
I'm on a mission
Catching feelings wasn't in the plan

But fuck it
Far from flawless
My flaws are gorgeous
I live life lawless
Cause I need all this
And that's all
I can't compromise on quality
Critique couldn't bother me
Nah babe it's all cool

Speaking of compromise
I'm glad we had that call
Said come over
Got the rope and pulled you closer
You know
Hand Over Fist
I made money in the trap
And now it's all legit

And all these tracks are unmastered
Until I finish up my masters
Maybe then I'll find time for the mix
Remember the pressure tryna save in a pinch
Now this cashmere sweater
Doesn't come with an itch
Watch is 5 minutes fast
Still ain't got time for this shit
Soon as I arrive in the midst
Make the heat rise - Catalyst
Picture this - on the beach, you and I
Silver spoons in our mouth
See the moon in our eyes.
I'm tryna live the movie tonight
Directors cut, double disc
Double cup - we getting woozy tonight
You know I manoeuvre it right
Ego gets put to the side
Leave it to you to decide
Am I coming inside

I'm thinking 'bout the last words that you said
Did I fail to remember or choose to forget
Seen what I achieved
Now they're asking what's next
Ironed my shirt
And you know my trousers pressed
Gucci links and they rest on my chest
Dessert boots looking like
I just came from a trek
You can't give a bank robber a check
7 years in this duffle
If they find an intent
Still I pick it up and try it again

Switch clothes, code switch
Different guy you sense the tone
And I don't trust the phone
I'm talking with a yard man in the garden
Call that Patois on the Patio
Get it in quick
You know, Hand over Fist

Thought that you were sticking to the plan
We didn't plan this
Like how'd I get you inside my hands
And then you vanish
You know just what I'm packing
So there ain't no need to panic
And you're never in the line of fire when I brandish

Heart filled with such anguish
Still You see it wrapped around my arm with a bandage
I get the message that you ain't
Tryna ride tandem
But it's calm I'll check the Mandem
And chase the pound
Like a greyhound
Bump the train in 1st class
I Jump the gates just like a rabbit
And no it's not the first time
It's coming like a habit
Guess We cut from different fabric
Head in different Planets
You can watch me do the money dance
You'd Think I'm Living Lavish

When I hit the town
Espresso cups are clinking
Stir in the sugar while I'm thinking
About all of the sins that I've committed
Was it all written
And can I be forgiven
Cause right now I'm smitten

I'm thinking 'bout the last words that you said
Did I fail to remember or choose to forget
Seen what I achieved
Now they're asking what's next
Ironed my shirt
And you know my trousers pressed
Gucci links and they rest on my chest
Dessert boots looking like
I just came from a trek
You can't give a bank robber a check
7 years in this duffle
If they find an intent
Still I pick it up and try it again

Switch clothes, code switch
Different guy you sense the tone
And I don't trust the phone
I'm talking with a yard man in the garden
Call that Patois on the Patio
Get it in quick
You know, Hand over Fist
