Payroll Giovanni
Validation
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent most mornings baggin’ up (Baggin’ up)
I spent countless nights addin’ up (Addin’ up)
Got money with the best of ‘em (Best of ‘em)
And balled on the rest of ‘em (Fuck ‘em)

[Chorus]
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation

[Verse 1]
I ain’t him, nah, n***a, I’m me
Born raised on the Fenk-, you see these letters on my link (That’s Fenk-)
Whole family sellin’ D, that lil’ boy, yeah, that was me
Big gold chain around his neck, Jordan’s on his feet
Just imagined what I seen, double crosses and triple beams
This street shit cripple dreams, but somehow, I live my dreams
Servin’ the crack fiends before I was 18
Even if I run, the dope game gon’ chase me
I think it’s my blood to be a motherfuckin’ plug
I ain’t crip or blood, but I’ll supply you if it’s love
The art of being unseen is make a dude a leader
I don’t wanna know your people, and they shouldn’t know me either
Servin’ nicks and dimes, posted in my wifebeater
On the block twenty deep, what you forgot? That was me
I buried my mans, and then I dropped out of school
Jumped right into the game, and I honored all the rules, n***a
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent most mornings baggin’ up (Baggin’ up)
I spent countless nights addin’ up (Addin’ up)
Got money with the best of ‘em (Best of ‘em)
And balled on the rest of ‘em (Fuck ‘em)

[Chorus]
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation

[Verse 2]
I look at y’all and see a bunch of lost n***as
Followin’ dummies mislead on what you taught, n***a
They got they name from online, we was outside
On the grind, we is nothin’ like the same kind
I done seen homicide, seen what choppas do (Pa, pa, pa!)
Seen the jealousy that grow when you cop a coupe
Fuck tryna be real with fake n***as
Feed your family, stay up out the way, n***a (Stay up out the way)
I don’t need nobody’s stamp, boy, I’ve been a champ
I put my hood on the map, the mob on my tax
I put work in n***as’ spots, minks on my back
I put my family in the ‘burbs, they never goin’ back (Never)
I brought up the bitch up out of killers, Skrill out of dealers
Hate from-out-of-undercover-ass-ho n***as
So, how you gon’ validate me?
When you a n***a I would see and wouldn’t even care to speak?
[Pre-Chorus]
I spent most mornings baggin’ up (Baggin’ up)
I spent countless nights addin’ up (Addin’ up)
Got money with the best of ‘em (Best of ‘em)
And balled on the rest of ‘em (Fuck ‘em)

[Chorus]
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
I don’t need no n***a’s validation
