Turn My Back Lyrics

[Intro]
Ayy, yeah

[Verse 1]
On even on my off days, right even when I'm off-base
Life, live it like tomorrow ain't, promise to me, gotta get it today
Why wait? Too late never heard it, always on time
My way or the highway?
Mindstate not safe, need grace, need love, need God, need faith
Betray, cut ties, first time, first take, worst case, wordplay, my whole, my stage
My place, less you, more Ye, more Drake, more Em, more Dre, more Cole, more Kendrick, more names
Cordae, Sean, Black, my list, my names, my pics, my taste
My faith in my own hands​—hand it over to you? No chance
Wanna get the job done right, I do it myself, oh yeah
I am what they wanna be, who they wanna see, the big man
God's plan, got a problem with the boy? Take it up with Him then, oh
[Verse 2]
Iconic, who want it? Heard that you was looking for the smoke, huh?
Catch me on a bad day and you might find it (Right?)
Fine dining, flying private, couple things that I can easily afford to do
Couple things that you don't know a thing that about
You mighta read about it, heard about it, thought about it, dreamt about it, played it out inside your head
But what I'm doing for a living isn't something I was taught, you either got it or you don't got it, and you don't got it
I'm the co-signer, you the broke artist, I'm the captain and you in coach flying
I'm the lead role, you in the background, yeah, I'm the star player, you the mascot, yeah
I'm the future, you the past, old timer
I'm the truth and you the boldface liar
I'm the CEO and you the customer
I'm the frontman and the ghost-ghostwriter
I'm the creator, I'm the director
I'm the hitmaker, I'm the empire
I'm the shot caller, I'm the show stopper
I'm the real one, you the fake knockoff, ooh

[Verse 3]
Jaw dropper, headliner, top gunner, head honcho
Eye-catcher, real stunner, y'all got it? New topic
Ye's documentary was inspirational to me, I love watching
Lames try to keep stars in the dirt just 'cause they afraid of you Funny how they switch up quick when they realize that your name buzzin'
Funny how they all wanna hop on board when they see the wave comin'
Funny how they wouldn't put me on the tour
And now they hit me up and say "I hope you're doing well, we should do a tour or somethin'"
Man stop (Stop, stop, stop)
We ain't doin' nothing, got my own thing goin', that's the way I like it
Too many cooks in the kitchen, that's a problem I ain't never gotta worry 'bout
Twelve people on a song, man, to each his own, but for me that's a little wild
Got enough people in my business, I don't need another hand dippin' in the pot
I don't need nobody showing me the ropes, I don't need you tellin' me to do my job
I don't need to hear you say that I'm the GOAT, I don't need you askin' me to switch the style
I don't need you laughing when I tell a joke, I don't need you faking tryna crack a smile
I don't need you (I don't need you), I don't need you
I don't need you telling me it's been a while
[Refrain]
I don't need the label breathin' down my neck (Neck)
I don't need the venue tellin' me it's loud (Loud)
I don't need you talkin' when I'm tryna rap (Woo)
I don't need my name comin' out your mouth (Ooh)
I don't need you using me to get respect
I don't need a picture with you for some clout
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you tellin' me you got some doubts

[Outro]
Worry 'bout yourself, yeah
I don't need your help, yeah
What's your name? What's your name? What's your name?
Doesn't ring a bell
Every time I look down and your number pops up on a cell
Shake my head, threatenin' me trying to get me to respond, well
If you really knew me you would know that that's the quickest way to make me turn my back on you and—
