Rope a Dope - 2 Chainz, Victor Oladipo

You ain’t never been where I been, you can’t tell me what I saw

All I know is I’m the coldest

I’ve been through so much, feel like I’m ready for war

And I will fight until the end because I know what I’m fighting for

So wave your flags, you don’t want no smoke

'Cause everything you got still won’t come close

I came into this world with my back against the ropes

So watch this footwork it’s the rope a dope

If I fall I get up again

If I lose somehow still I win

Even in defeat it’s a lesson learned

'Cause everything I got is everything I earned

Set a goal, plan it out

Look at how it panned out

Did it with no handouts

Mama I’m the man now

Look at me I’m number one

And look at you, you made a champion

Yeah, yeah

So wave your flags, you don’t want no smoke

'Cause everything you got still won’t come close

I came into this world with my back against the ropes

So watch this footwork it’s the rope a dope

2 Chainz!

Pledge allegiance on one knee

Shoes Crocodile Dundee

Attire on the highest level

Go to war with a giant devil

Slingshot with a rock in it

Foreign car with that park in it

You ain’t never been treated different

Just because you a

gotta lot to say

Even work on the holidays

Knock on your door like Halloween

Mask on like trick or treat

I ain’t worried about them picking me

Throw you up to the 5th degree

I been high since Snoop Dogg said «fo shiggity»

That’s consistency

So wave your flags, you don’t want no smoke

'Cause everything you got still won’t come close

I came into this world with my back against the ropes

So watch this footwork it’s the rope a dope

Instead of hanging with you back on the wall

Stand up, just get involved

'Cause together, everyone will achieve more

If you pass out, I’ll be pushing you further and harder than ever before

There ain’t no I in team, so ain’t no giving up

So wave your flags, you don’t want no smoke

'Cause everything you got still won’t come close

I came into this world with my back against the ropes

So watch this footwork it’s the rope a dope
