NEW SONG: Machine Gun Kelly - 'Candy' Lyrics feat. Trippie Redd 

I'mma start this story, my influence so enormous 

Got that shit you love to sing along with 

Like every line is the I'm born in Brooklyn like Biggie 

I'm born in Brooklyn like Jordan 

I'm born in Brooklyn like Tyson 

You don't live this, you just a tourist 

We ride or die for them corners 

Fuck your private life they spy on us 

When they catch us man it's like practice 

For the new tactics that they try on us 

Them cops are lining them coffers 

Why we get shot we lying in coffins 

They want my demise cause when I arrive they stop for lines so often 

Nigga just stop, you might as well forfeit 

We like Shia LaBeouf so lawless 

Still recognize real, still recognize real 

Like the car I'm driving you foreign 

My diamond cut so flawless 

No not jewels I'm talking bout songs bitch 

So if they after me like I'm Lauryn 

I tell the feds that I'm moorish 

We walking, all the girls is talking 

Generally they butt fucking naked just like the Book of Mormon 

We see the trees for them forest 

My name ring them bells like a doorman 

Y'all niggas game is so corny 

That's why you grill them hoes just like Forman, boring

x4 

Paper chasing we on that grind 

Reputation on the line 

Crazy, borderline - pay me, on time 

Crazy, borderline - pay me, on time 

Crazy, borderline - pay me, on time 

Explore and discover what most fear 

I will never wait til the brush clear 

Swear I will never get stuck here 

America, fuck yea 

Measure my career in dog years 

My passport got them dog ears 

I set sail, travelling the world like Jesus was doing in his lost years 

I might give you the pill like Morpheus 

I'm like the P.E. logo in the cross hairs 

Standing out cause there's nothing but whores here 

Pimps rock crocodile like false tears 

Bring it on through your force field 

I'll be giving you nothing but the raw deal 

What I say on display is the purest skill 

I'll be giving y'all niggas what's more real 

What's more real, what's more real? 

I got chicks fighting like floor sales 

You gossiping bloggers all fail 

Look at the yardstick measuring your tall tales 

And you on all fours you small scale 

All in between the legs like a dog's tail 

You are what you eat, you don't want no beef 

You completely vegan like all kale
