Wolves ft. Statik Selektah Lyrics

Wolves - KOTA the Friend & Statik Selektah

...

[Intro]

Statik Selektah

[Verse 1]

First quarter, we attackin' the basket

I'm livin' life in the moment 'cause it's ashes to ashes

I got Durant focus, I'm in competition with self

Doing my best with the hand I was dealt

I make a fire and I fan it myself

Weekend in Ibiza, took a holiday in Durban, send my blessings to Madiba

Had to hop back in my Birkin, had to re-up on my Visa

Added charcoal to the furnace, turnin' sleepers to believers

This is real life, fork in the road, either you peal right or skrrt left

I ain't the same Kota you first met

Ready for thе joker that's gon' tell me this my worst yеt

Before you even tweet it, I'll say, "Thank you for the streams"

My son's schooling worth more than your whole future

So keep those Twitter fingers goin' and keep on running my views up

Never called a liar by anybody that knew us

I'm the number one supplier of gems, never forget

[Chorus]

I can't lose

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food

Yeah

[Verse 2]

Get it how I live it, I brag with my independence

I look at it like a big middle finger up to the system

Swore I was a rookie, I took his queen with a bishop

People always comin' at me sideways, king

You niggas pawns, I'm with Hov and Nas controlling the board

This is the good burger, got 'em fighting over the sauce

They spread it word of mouth, verses that he wrote with the Force

And see that I'ma kick it down or you gon' open the door

I'll wait a minute but just know that that decision is yours

And if I have to kick it, it won't be the same as if I didn't

I'ma move into that room more militant than you thought

With a couple of young silent assassins smilin' and laughing

Watching me excellin' like nothin' you can imagine

Verbiage so compelling, my passion is fuck compassion

Didn't know I was headed for greatness, I come from madness

Runnin' for a shot of patience, I'm puttin' my plan to action

[Chorus]

I can't lose

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]

Meditating in Malibu

Told 'em that it's important we elevate from the avenue

Only speakin' mentally, making peace with my enemies

We from the same place, it's safe to say they resemble me

It's like I felt my bitterness sendin' me to the end of me

Gave in to addictions like women, D'USSÉ and Hennessy

Ace of spade, lately we celebratin' in major ways

All about the balance, I'm never stressin' the day-to-day

Middle of the winter, I be sittin' on my roof

Breathin' in the air, feeling solid in my roots

Everything I'm learning just confirming what I knew

I am working, I am worth it, and I earned what I accrue

Sittin' by the furnace having dinner with my muse

Got the speakers in the ceiling, I be feeling brand new

I am proud, I am black, there's nothing I can't do

I am free, I am me, and that's all I'm tryna be 'cause

[Chorus]

I can't lose

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food

Brought up by the wolves, parted from the pack

Howlin' at the moon, youngin on my back

Mountains in my view, coming for that food
