[Hook x3] Yo, afro pick in my hair
Look but I don't recommend you stare
On this ting and I've made that clear
Roll to your set one hand in the air
Boy better know and man better hear
Novelist don't really care who's where
I do what I do for the young youth from back in the day when I ran for the mayor

[Bridge x2] Last week I was a younger
Last week I was a young g
Last week I was a younger g
Now I'm who I wanna be

[Verse 1] Novelist don't take chat
You get what you give, that's fact
Life is like I'm under attack
Not gonna break or crack
Come to the front and God's at the back
Pray when I want to relax
For those that want to be bad
I've clocked on
I'm an orderly person with clear vision
Wanna think like me? Then here, listen
I'm not a guy will take what's given
I see choice when I think there isn't
The sun don't rise and fall, it's always there but the Earth is spinning
I see light and dark but the light's still there when the shine is missing

[Hook x2] Yo, afro pick in my hair
Look but I don't recommend you stare
On this ting and I've made that clear
Roll to your set one hand in the air
Boy better know and man better hear
Novelist don't really care who's where
I do what I do for the young youth from back in the day when I ran for the mayor

[Bridge x2] Last week I was a younger
Last week I was a young g
Last week I was a younger g
Now I'm who I wanna be

[Verse 2] Novelist don't do deals
I keep it real
Big house at the top of the hill
But instead I'm gonna build
Can't impact how I feel
Thanks but I'm gonna pay for the mill
All things come with a bill
If it ain't God, I'll never kneel
Say what I think, think what I say
Not what I feel
Cause time can make, something break
Or it can heal
Money, drugs, cars, girls
That's for the films
What does it mean, when your own thinking
Can't be still

[Outro] Ight so I'mma tell you straight like this yeah
Doesn't matter what kind of man you are
Rich, poor, every g in the world needs peace
Ya know what I'm saying?
If you wake up and you ain't got peace, then you're pissed
Ya get me?
Now I've had a lot of money before don't get it twisted
I've had P's fam, still got P's but certain times I wake up on the wrong side of the bed
D'ya know what I mean?
But it's about that peace of mind

[Hook x2] Yo, afro pick in my hair
Look but I don't recommend you stare
On this ting and I've made that clear
Roll to your set one hand in the air
Boy better know and man better hear
Novelist don't really care who's where
I do what I do for the young youth from back in the day when I ran for the mayor
