Sharks

[Intro: Jelly Roll]
(Yeah)
I’ve been swimmin’ with the sharks so long
I don’t know how to come back on land
They told me I would never see home
Now they actin’ like they understand
So I’m swimmin’ with the sharks, yeah
Yeah, I’m swimmin’ with the sharks

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I’ve been swimmin’ with the sharks so long
I don’t know how to come back on land
They told me I would never see home
Now they actin’ like they understand
So I’m swimmin’ with the sharks, yeah
Yeah, I’m swimmin’ with the sharks

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]
L-I-L Wayne is sharp as nails
Hammer anybody that talk that ill
I exhale kush, y’all smell
Thuggin’ since I got out of jail
Anger is a fight in the mind
Got that white girl like Topanga, you desire, I design
We are all perfect strangers that are runnin’ out of time
In the eyes of danger, grab my gun and rob ya blind
Rob ya blind, I been eatin’ on the streets, wine and dine
I been under them trees like Feliz Navidad
Twin Glocks under the seat, that’s Maria, Maria
Leave your body lookin’ like if you’re feedin’ hyenas, woah
Actavis so sweet, tastin’ like a Now and Later
Diamonds in my teeth, smilin’ like a alligator
Drugs make us turtles, we fight and sleep like straight up
Got these bitches at my feet, but I’ma keep my head up
I been rockin’ n****s’ bells, I been rockin’ bitches’ world
All this weed in this blunt, I feel like I’m doing curls
While they all on pins and needles…

[Verse 2: Big Sean]
Stop playin’ with me
I’m like a home-cooked meal, a Sunday plate
You ain’t even ate all week
I make a band, no trumpet, please
Got two white girls tryna double team
Like the Swedes or Doublemint twins
But when it come to love, I’m celibate
When it come to rap, I’m Heaven-sent
When it come to sharks, I’m Megalodon
When it come to dogs, I’m a Doberman
You don’t wanna get close to him
I put money on your top like a bonus then
Drop hits then I’m gone again
I was supposed to be on C4, naw, I mean C6
I meant that like metaphoric
Wayne told me to slide on this
I said, “Bet,” he said, “Stop playin’ with me”
Now I’m just out here sayin’ the shit
And y’all out here playin’ the shit
They actin’ like they woke, I’m like, “Damn, you late for the shift”
I heard they was sharkin’—I smell blood
I’m like, “Damn, who takin’ a whiff?”
Then I seen ‘em all changin’ they pitch
I could never switch up, I’d rather switch blades
I could never bitch up, I’d rather get sprayed
I’m hip-hop’s bald head stepchild
And I finally got the shit braided

[Chorus: Jelly Roll]
I’ve been swimmin’ with the sharks so long
I don’t know how to come back on land
They told me I would never see home
Now they actin’ like they understand
So I’m swimmin’ with the sharks, yeah
Yeah, I’m swimmin’ with the sharks
