Excuse me by Kevin Gates (2024)

I be hopin' sometimes for a moment to feel the light shine
If life is a gamble, I'm willin' to bet my last dime
I know what it is to be victim of this bed I made so I lay
'Bout this bread, I don't play
Goin' through hell, tryna make it
Not even heaven could stand in my way

nigg*s talkin' and that sh*t annoying (annoying)

See, I pay my dues, you can't afford it (can't afford it)
Since I got them racks, they can't ignore me (they can't ignore me)
I keep it movin', f*ck what's not important
Excuse me, (whoa) it's a real nigg* here with some money
Excuse me, (whoa) it's a real nigg* here with some money
Excuse me, nigg*s talkin' and that sh*t annoying
I keep it movin', f*ck what's not important
Excuse me

Flaws on the table, I don't feel insecure
(puss*hole, battyboi, all y'all still insecure?)
Li-Likkle waist gyal wan' fi man out di slum
(Batty fine, dutty whine, me wan' see it done)
Me and Millz break the nine, come on, boost it up a notch
Demeanor of a leader, even cooler than your socks
I would say the watch but the bitch that cool
Waitin' to tell but she wouldn't let go (let me go)
Leanin' out the liter, I ain't gettin' strep throat
Flyer than the seagulls steady bumpin' Beanie Seagel
Disrespect it, then we squeezin', I ain't gettin' stepped on
Khaza, he the sequel, if you didn't catch on (catch up)
Ain't no latchin' on to my success (back up)
Breadwinners Association, I move for the paper
The haters consider it a threat (threat)
Condo screenshottin' my convo, I meant to say text
Disruptive behavior, subject to change by my chain, get upset
I'm becomin' a gangster, they have PMS
If you won't be a woman, then go get a plumber and grow you some breasts
Rollin' up sleeves like a sink spreadin' cabinet layin' pipe underneath
Rap game kitchen counter, came to tighten up leaks
(Tell 'em what you mean)
Time to tighten up the leash

nigg*s talkin' and that sh*t annoying (annoying)
See, I pay my dues, you can't afford it (can't afford it)
Since I got them racks, they can't ignore me (they can't ignore me)
I keep it movin', f*ck what's not important

Excuse me, (whoa) it's a real nigg* here with some money
Excuse me, nigg*s talkin' and that sh*t annoying
I keep it movin', f*ck what's not important
Excuse me

Oh my God, I'm a God
Neighborhood, I'm a star
Sick of red bitches, they don't listen in the car
Girlfriend in my lap while I'm twistin' the cigar
Luca Brasi, I murder 'bout Mazi
Mucho the boss, still livin' in my thoughts
I'm a real vic, money limp when I walk
Beat a bitch back in, big dick dinner soft
Big clip by the couch, wearin' zips, that's an out
Public housing, no authority and the clique got a house
Try to turn speakin' out, blip-blip with the aux
Tuck somethin' close to you, eatin' grits with ya spouse
No bathrobe wearin' ass nigg*
Breadwinner brick game hashtag emblem
Peace sign on the hood in Benz symbol
Still goin' off, make the clique get richer
Shots on her back and her chest to the pillow
Pieces come together, playin' chess with a picture
Dog just a pawn, I be fresh, get the picture?
Knuckles all scarred up, discoloration
Mental gymnastics with this conversation
Just my little friend, this was just a vacation
I'm dedicated to the grind, real nigg* discipline
Show on the road, low pros and they Michellin

Not even heaven could stand in my way
Not even heaven could stand in my way

Not even heaven could stand in my way
Not even heaven could stand in my way

I hope to experience good times every now and then

If life is a gamble, I'm willin' to bet my last dime

nigg*s talkin' and that sh*t annoying (annoying)
I am tired of people speaking negatively about me

See, I pay my dues, you can't afford it (can't afford it)
I have worked hard to get where I am, and others cannot match my dedication

Since I got them racks, they can't ignore me (they can't ignore me)
People pay attention to me now that I have become successful

(puss*hole, battyboi, all y'all still insecure?)
I am making fun of people who are insecure and calling them out

(Batty fine, dutty whine, me wan' see it done)
I want to see people dance and have a good time

Me and Millz break the nine, come on, boost it up a notch
My associate and I are going to make things more exciting

Demeanor of a leader, even cooler than your socks
I am a calm and collected leader, even more so than your footwear

I would say the watch but the bitch that cool
I like my diamond watch but there is also a woman who catches my eye

Waitin' to tell but she wouldn't let go (let me go)

Leanin' out the liter, I ain't gettin' strep throat

If anyone disrespects me, I will fight back and stand my ground

Khaza, he the sequel, if you didn't catch on (catch up)

People who dislike me feel threatened by my success

Condo screenshottin' my convo, I meant to say text
Someone in my condo is taking screenshots of my conversations instead of just texting me

Disruptive behavior, subject to change by my chain, get upset
My flashy jewelry can attract unwanted attention and incite disruptive behavior

I'm becomin' a gangster, they have PMS
I am evolving into a gangster, while others are acting like they have PMS

If you won't be a woman, then go get a plumber and grow you some breasts
I am telling people to stop acting like women and start acting like men

Rollin' up sleeves like a sink spreadin' cabinet layin' pipe underneath
I am preparing to work hard and fix something like a plumber fixing pipes

Rap game kitchen counter, came to tighten up leaks
I am here to improve the rap game and fix its shortcomings

(Tell 'em what you mean)
Encouraging someone to explain themselves better

Time to tighten up the leash
It's time to control and regulate things better

Oh my God, I'm a God
I feel like a powerful and important person

Mucho the boss, still livin' in my thoughts
I still think about being a boss and making money

I'm a real vic, money limp when I walk
I am a real victim of my own success and am having trouble finding meaning outside of money

Beat a bitch back in, big dick dinner soft
I am capable of physically attacking women and also having sexual problems

Big clip by the couch, wearin' zips, that's an out
I am carrying a large weapon and wearing sweatpants, implying that I am ready for anything

Public housing, no authority and the clique got a house
I come from a humble background and have built something bigger with my associates

Try to turn speakin' out, blip-blip with the aux
If someone tries to speak out of line, they will get cut off by the music

Tuck somethin' close to you, eatin' grits with ya spouse
I am telling people to stay vigilant and watch their back, even when they are comfortable

No bathrobe wearin' ass nigg*
I am not someone who is soft and comfortable

Shots on her back and her chest to the pillow

Pieces come together, playin' chess with a picture
I am solving a puzzle and putting together different elements, much like playing chess

Dog just a pawn, I be fresh, get the picture?
Someone else is playing a small role, while I focus on looking fresh and staying in charge

Knuckles all scarred up, discoloration
My hands are rough and scarred from fighting

Mental gymnastics with this conversation

Just my little friend, this was just a vacation
This weapon is my little friend and I am just taking a break

I'm dedicated to the grind, real nigg* discipline
I am committed to working hard and have the discipline to do so like a real man

Show on the road, low pros and they Michellin
I am ready to move on and keep a low profile, while still being successful like high-quality Michellin tires
