Stay Bothered

Intro (spoken, slow drawl)
Yeah…
Funny how my name travel farther than I do.
Must be expensive livin’ rent-free.

Hook

Talkin’ down on me, I call that praise,
My name in your mouth while I’m gone for days.
Tables I don’t sit at still toast my name,
That ain’t hate—that’s obsession playin’ games.
Stay bothered.
Stay bothered.

Verse 1

Back road rumble, 808 knock,
Dirt on my jeans, still climbin’ that rock.
Bible on the dash, sins in the rear,
I made peace with the past, I ain’t goin’ back there.

They gossip like sport, I grind like trade,
You watch my steps while I up my wage.
Same small circles, same old lies,
Countin’ my moves like it pays your bills, right?

I don’t eat with snakes, I don’t sip that envy,
Silence loud when success get heavy.
If sayin’ my name help you sleep at night,
Keep talkin’, baby—I’ll keep it light.

Pre-Hook

If talk was currency, you’d be rich as hell,
But all that noise still ain’t ring my bell.

Hook

Talkin’ down on me, I call that praise,
My name in your mouth while I’m gone for days.
Tables I don’t sit at still toast my name,
That ain’t hate—that’s obsession playin’ games.
Stay bothered.
Stay bothered.

Verse 2

Outlaw calm, got a cold-steel grin,
I don’t chase revenge, I let karma spin.
You pray on my fall, I pray you heal,
Funny how that prayer hit different, feel?

I left that town but I live in they head,
Same old stories, different lips they said.
You toast my name, I sip on peace,
Watched my enemies turn into memories.

I don’t argue ghosts from places I outgrew,
If they talkin’ ‘bout me, must be nothin’ new.
I ain’t bitter, I’m better—check the math,
While you stuck at the table, I’m gone down the path.

Bridge (half-sung / half-spoken)

Funny thing ‘bout obsession—
It always sound like hate.
Funny thing ‘bout success—
It don’t gotta say a thing.

Hook (drop it back in, heavier)

Talkin’ down on me, I call that praise,
My name in your mouth while I’m gone for days.
Tables I don’t sit at still toast my name,
That ain’t hate—that’s obsession playin’ games.
Stay bothered.
Stay bothered.

Outro (spoken, beat fading)

I ain’t mad…
I’m motivated.
Keep sayin’ my name—
I’m buildin’ a legacy with it.

southern trap outlaw vibe, male, heavy 808
