[Verse 1]
Am                                 E
  I'm not on your radar? Then your radar is broke
                       Am
Don't blame me for the way y'alls jokes
                          E
Fall flat, get your mouth slapped—ain't no hoax
Am                                      E
I get an inkling, they picked me for the weak link
 
I'm gonna have to pose
Am                                  E
A question for the ones that don't accept that I been exceptional
           Am                                     E
'Cause the moment I get involved, is the moment a song takes off
                         Am
So how could you think I wouldn't last long in a game that
           E
I was made to play? What Do y'all take me for?
Am
Rest assured
                    E
When I Do come back to tour, it'll be Christmas mor-
Am                                       E
​n​ing in a way 'cause I'ma wake up with a present so big, they'll jump for joy
      Am
Yeah, let it be known
                             E
I'm better when I'm outta control
 
I can not be the butt of a joke
    Am                                                   E
I'm cutting in the front of you posers talkin' like you really a pro
                                Am
When you ain't even part of the convo
                                  E
Nothin' but an amateur, I'll slow down when I want it colossal
            Am
Only way to put it if I chose
                            E
I could be bigger, maybe consider it a bit of it was helpin' you all
   Am
To comprehend, you condescend (You're gone)
  E
Incompetent, the consequences (Are)
Am
Hard to miss, it's common sense (I'm on)
E
One, so wrap your head around it (Or)
Am
I might have to get up off the porch
E
Show you how it's done, I got the form
Am
Power trippin' on me, get destroyed
E
Pull the plug, I'm rollin' up your cord
 
 
[Chorus]
Am
Fool me once—shame on you
E
Fool me twice—shame on you
Am
Fool me three times, hold up, rewind
E
That's not even possible
Am
Me, I keep it honorable
E
Who's your favorite? Let me know
Am
Tally up, count the votes
E
Wasn't me? That's a joke
Am
Yeah, ayy, that's a joke
E
 That's a, that's a joke
Am
Funny, yeah, that's a joke
E
 That's a, that's a joke
Am
Funny, woo, that's a joke
E
 That's a, that's a joke
Am
Funny, ayy, that's a joke
E
 That's a joke (Haha)
 
 
[Verse 2]
        Am
Yeah, I took a minute now, I'm at the better end of all of it
    E
The day I wanna quit'll be a bitter one to swallow
         Am
'Cause I meant it when I said I wasn't really into audibles
  E
I guess you gotta call 'em when your odds are at the bottom
         Am                                                          E
And it's stackin' up against you, it's a pity, but they gotta give a nod to me
                                                     Am
I'm runnin' with the best, I been the kind to make a profit
 
Off of everything that you told me was impossible
   E
So why would you continue with the narrative
                  Am
And not admit I'm someone incredible, look of a general
                 E
Hit 'em with the end of shovel, they wanna forget it
                 Am
I put 'em on the ground and I get up and open the pit of my stomach
     E
To remind 'em again I'm a whole different animal
             Am
Whatever the case, I'ma get it, I'm in it, no doubt, I would give it
     E
Everything if I gotta, but not if the commas
                  Am
Are pushin' me to run with the common, the jokin' aside
                     E                                          Am
If you took away the dummies and bias, you'll notice that I'm insane (Insane)
                    E
Improved a lot, but I still feel
                  Am                                E
It's hard to keep my lid from poppin' off, but I prevail
 
How you gonna skip over the details
Am                         N.C.
And tell me to be focused? Hold that thought
E                           Am
Don't tell me you mean well if you don't mean well
           E
I call the shots, but don't need my hand held
        Am
When it comes to makin' records
                  E
Who you know that does that better?
                  Am
The way I connect letters
                                  E
You'd think that the alphabet was made by me
                      Am
When it comes to storytellin', I'm great at it
               E
Tune in or get tuned out, my face got redder
           Am                               E
'Cause I'm embarrassed for the ones unaware of my work
 
What, did I stutter?
Am
Known to be cordial
               E
But those that think that never seen me in a war zone
Am                              E
  My delivery gets better every time I spit
 
I don't keep my sword low
Am
  Tell me why would I Do that?
        E
Doesn't make sense when you're in a game this cutthroat
Am                                            E
If you wanna maintain control, then you gotta keep up
 
If you can't handle the workload
Am
Somebody else will
              E
How could you call me unskilled?
            Am                                E
That's like lookin' at Mount Everest and then calling it a small hill
           Am
Not at all thrilled, I'm in awe still
              E
Tryin' not to laugh, but it just spills
        Am
Out sometimes, I been writin' chill
             E
Just chew on this 'til the record's built, okay!
 
 
[Chorus]
Am
Fool me once—shame on you
E
Fool me twice—shame on you (On you)
Am
Fool me three times, hold up, rewind
E
That's not even possible
Am
Me, I keep it honorable (Okay)
E
Who's your favorite? Let me know (Lemme know)
Am
Tally up, count the votes
E
Wasn't me? That's a joke
Am
Yeah, ayy, that's a joke (Joke)
E
 That's a, that's a joke (Joke)
Am
Funny, yeah, that's a joke (Joke)
E
 That's a, that's a joke (Joke)
Am
Funny, woo, that's a joke (Joke)
E
 That's a, that's a joke (Joke)
Am
Funny, ayy, that's a joke
E
 That's a joke (Haha)
