Canada Dry lyrics

[Verse 1]

Riding around off this ginger ale (Yuh)

Peep the herbal essence in the papers, vapors

On fire if you couldn't tell, but trust me

I ain't checkin' for no Jezebels or Delilahs

Lot of niggas screaming that they real (Psh...)

Perception is a motherfucking pill, you a liar

I been rocking boats since Aaliyah (Rock the boat...)

Trying to take it higher with these notes like Mariah

Fuck—Fuck with me, your connect ain't got it for the free

Start the elevation, I can't keep it low-key

OG, finna wake these niggas up

Ain't been getting no sleep, tryna bring him more sheep

I'm like little Bo Peep, what you in it for?

'Cause they out here copping souls, what they hittin' for?

Are you the hitter or the lick? What's the difference, though?

Yeah I heard you got a plan; what's the mission, though?

'Cause this game is so foul (Too foul)

Got a young man tryna move through the city

Like a Black Tom Thibodeau

Like Stallone, you can fight it all you want

But we still gonna be expendable, these niggas don't listen, no

I was always told that you never really know what you got 'til it's gone

Cancer caught my granny 'fore I got a chance to check up

What the fuck was I on? (What the fuck was I on?)

I was playing checkers, this is chess

Never put your faith into a check

Got to play the hand that you was dealt

It's only four aces in the deck, motherfucker

[Chorus]

I been riding around off this ginger ale

Mama wouldn't like the way I smell right now

Realest nigga out; can't you tell?

Drink this water, tell me how you feel right now

Riding around off this ginger ale

Praying every day that I don't fail right now

Healing niggas; how can't you tell?

Drink this water, tell me how you feel right now

Riding around off this ginger ale

Mama wouldn't like the way I smell right now

Realest nigga out; can't you tell?

Drink this water, tell me how you feel right now

Riding around off this ginger ale

Praying every day that I don't fail right now

Healing niggas; how can't you tell?

Drink this water, tell me how you feel right now
