START TO FiNISH - S.T.F. (Lyrics)

I gotta make a move and make it soon
I got to take the block and make it boom
Take the car, hit it with the spoon
Now come on, let's get that money

(Oh)
(Yea)
(Uh)

Kay got the beat that make me feel like a wrestler (yea)
X got the voice that make me rap with my chest up (yea)
Ten years in still saying I’m next up
Pull up in a errrr, this ain't no Tesla
This ain't no Camry
Dashboard registration right where the hammer be
Brrrrrrattt, you can’t handle me
Quick to call me fam, but ain't nobody family
On another frequency, the way I be channeling
I take him out his pain, take him out of his misery
I take him out of pain like I'm giving him ketamine
We are not the same, all you n****s be killing me
Make a n***a laugh, all you n****s be kidding me

When I say move, everybody move
When I say move, everybody move
When I say, move, everybody move (wooo)
Ay come on, let's get that money

Cause I’m a muthaf***in' monster wit it
That’s how it’s going down from the start to finish
Anything moving in the dark can get it
Can’t put my hand on it, then the spark’l get it
Let’s get that money

N***a making problems, make me have to go and solve 'em (uh)
Know a lot of n****s please don’t make me have to call 'em (uh)
I got all the cash so these b*****s wanna holla
Little do these b*****s know I ain’t giving 'em a dollar
And I put that on my momma
Real pimp, pop a collar
I’m a gangsta wit a grill, you don’t really want drama
You gon have to get it if you f***in' with my commas
Heard you lost one already, you gon' relive trauma (oh)
You in the presence of black Shakespeare (oh)
They ain’t throwing money then come and shake it here (oh)
Either that or imma throw it in the air (oh)
Might as well let me throw it at your rear (oh)
They the average boys, I’m the real one (oh)
*gun cock*
saying f**k a fair one (oh)
Everybody think they on something,
till they see me doing everything and see that ain't nothing

When I say move, everybody move
When I say move, everybody move
When I say, move, everybody move (whooo)
Ay come on, let's get that money

Cause I’m a muthaf***in' monster wit it
That’s how it’s going down from the start to finish
Anything moving in the dark can get it
Can’t put my hand on it, then the spark’l get it
Let’s get that money
