  1. 01

    [Intro]

    02

    If you in a pine box, box

    03

    I would shovel dirt on top, top

    04

    I'd play this record on repeat, 'peat

    05

    You always been a bitch to me

  2. 06

    If you was in a pine box, box

    07

    I would still be in my spot, spot

    08

    For you to make it to the peak, peak

    09

    It'd have to be the death of me, the death of me

  3. 10

    [Verse]

    11

    Lookin' in the mirror, still embarrassed

    12

    Stop talkin' how you gon' spare us

    13

    React like an infant whenever I am mentioned

    14

    It's like you need tension to always get attention

  4. 15

    You always said how you wanna bury me alive

    16

    Jealousy disguised as yo' motherfuckin' pride

    17

    Took you on your first tour with us, tryna catch a vibе

    18

    I was headline, you was standin' on the sidе

  5. 19

    Brought you and that other ho along for the ride

    It feel like Twitter ghostwritin’ your reply

    Multi-line diss block
    24

    Streets out here talkin' like, "At least a nigga tried"

    25

    It's how you felt in 2011, why we wastin' time?

    26

    Dreams come true, crodie, this is where you die
