[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 Fans are absolutely loving this song. With Big Sean taking over the masses — everyone’s saying he completely snapped, delivered one of his best verses ever, and even stole the spotlight from Lil Wayne. Lines from his verse are being quoted like crazy, and some people said they legit got emotional listening to it.

The collab with Jelly Roll, Wayne, and Sean is getting a lot of praise, with people saying the chemistry is insane. Overall, it’s clear that fans think this is real hip-hop at its finest — a track that hits hard and sticks with you.
