about

I had this random argument with Lyriqs and Josh Gotoy about whether or not you can buy swag when we were in the studio one day and I decided to write a song about the concept.

lyrics

"Can't Buy Swag"

(Verse 1)
Ok, these swagger-jacker-rappers
Really tryna pull me backwards
I shoot at all these actors
Like directors if I have to
It really shouldn't matter
Cause I really should be flattered
But it really makes me madder
That they're stealin' what I mastered
Yea I got my style
But they wish they had
It's like it's cold outside
How bad they really want to jack it
I'm in my own bracket
I've reached higher status
My copy cats are hungry
But they're only eating catnip
"Nigga, be yourself!" that's all I ever tell 'em
But because my records sellin'
That advice they're not acceptin'
So fuck it I keep it steppin'
While I'm Monroe representin'
Im the South's secret weapon
With these bars like a felon
No question... Man, I'm the answer
That you weren't expectin'
It's like I sneezed how I always give the track a blessin'
Peace to the Gods I always will be five percentin'
And like 120 I'mma give these cats a lesson, man

(Chorus)
You can have alotta cash
All the money in the bag
But you can't, can't I said you can't buy swag
All the shoes you have
And all the chains that flash
Won't last so, man, naw you cant buy swag
I said you can't, can't I said can't buy swag
Man, you can't, can't I said you can't buy swag
You can have alot of cash
All the money in the bag
But you can't, can't
I said you cant buy swag

(Verse 2)
When did it criminal ever to be original
These lil' rappers pitiful swagga jackin's so typical
It even is a miracle I made it to this pinnacle
'Cause the game is so miserable
And everyone's so critical
Yea... I'm just tryna keep it lyrical
They said "Dumb it down!"
But that advice I didn't listen to
They were hot in the interval
I'll admit but when they bricked
They flipped and tried to jock my spit
It sounded like shit... Gave off a stench
It was that bad: adult... Yea, 'cause I don't kid
Meanwhile, my flow was Dumbledore... Yup, I'm a Wiz,
And those starters are now on the bench...
That's common sense
I'm the hottest now in present tense
To the rap game I'm heaven-sent
Proof is the pudding
And my mixtape is the evidence
Sicker than I've ever been
Quarantine the whole premise
Run to where protection is
before you go I'll tell 'em this

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
My name is Top Billion
My style is so appealin'
Brinks covers my download links
To stop jackas from stealin'
Your favorite rapper's villian
He hates me 'cause I'd killin 'em
And all of his women
Worship the God's imagine like religion
I'm not kiddin' I'm not trippin'
I'm firm in this position
Nigga, listen I'm the difference
'Tween Jehovah and a witness
Pussy nigga, what's the business
You fuckin' with a killa
I'm hungry as gorilla
You look like banana dinner
I'm a winner... Man, Charlie Sheen call me mister
Keep it realer... You bit my swag and tried to make iller
Ha! But nigga... This thing has been vaccine'd
And you can't be me any more
Than the sky can be green
So go and copy every scene
From all my videos you seen
You ain't done nothin' but brung in
More fans on my team
CMG, yadadamean
A.K.A. the regime
And you cant buy ya way in it
Word, from the lieutenant

(Chorus)
