THAT’S A JOKE lyrics

I'm not on your radar? Then your radar is broke

Don't blame me for the way y'alls jokes

Fall flat, get your mouth slapped—ain't no hoax

I get an inkling, they picked me for the weak link

I'm gonna have to pose

A question for the ones that don't accept that I been exceptional

'Cause the moment I get involved, is the moment a song takes off

So how could you think I wouldn't last long in a game that

I was made to play? What do y'all take me for?

Rest assured

When I do come back to tour, it'll be Christmas mor-

​n​ing in a way 'cause I'ma wake up with a present so big, they'll jump for joy

Yeah, let it be known

I'm better when I'm outta control

I can not be the butt of a joke

I'm cutting in the front of you posers talkin' like you really a pro

When you ain't even part of the convo

Nothin' but an amateur, I'll slow down when I want it colossal

Only way to put it if I chose

I could be bigger, maybe consider it a bit of it was helpin' you all

To comprehend, you condescend (You're gone)

Incompetent, the consequences (Are)

Hard to miss, it's common sense (I'm on)

One, so wrap your head around it (Or)

I might have to get up off the porch

Show you how it's done, I got the form

Power trippin' on me, get destroyed

Pull the plug, I'm rollin' up your cord

Fool me once—shame on you

Fool me twice—shame on you

Fool me three times, hold up, rewind

That's not even possible

Me, I keep it honorable

Who's your favorite? Let me know

Tally up, count the votes

Wasn't me? That's a joke

Yeah, ayy, that's a joke

That's a, that's a joke

Funny, yeah, that's a joke

That's a, that's a joke

Funny, woo, that's a joke

That's a, that's a joke

Funny, ayy, that's a joke

That's a joke (Haha)

Yeah, I took a minute now, I'm at the better end of all of it

The day I wanna quit'll be a bitter one to swallow

'Cause I meant it when I said I wasn't really into audibles

I guess you gotta call 'em when your odds are at the bottom

And it's stackin' up against you, it's a pity, but they gotta give a nod to me

I'm runnin' with the best, I been the kind to make a profit

Off of everything that you told me was impossible

So why would you continue with the narrative

And not admit I'm someone incredible, look of a general

Hit 'em with the end of shovel, they wanna forget it

I put 'em on the ground and I get up and open the pit of my stomach

To remind 'em again I'm a whole different animal

Whatever the case, I'ma get it, I'm in it, no doubt, I would give it

Everything if I gotta, but not if the commas

Are pushin' me to run with the common, the jokin' aside

If you took away the dummies and bias, you'll notice that I'm insane (Insane)

Improved a lot, but I still feel

It's hard to keep my lid from poppin' off, but I prevail

How you gonna skip over the details

And tell me to be focused? Hold that thought

Don't tell me you mean well if you don't mean well

I call the shots, but don't need my hand held

When it comes to makin' records

Who you know that does that better?

The way I connect letters

You'd think that the alphabet was made by me

When it comes to storytellin', I'm great at it

Tune in or get tuned out, my face got redder

'Cause I'm embarrassed for the ones unaware of my work

What, did I stutter?

Known to be cordial

But those that think that never seen me in a war zone

My delivery gets better every time I spit

I don't keep my sword low

Tell me why would I do that?

Doesn't make sense when you're in a game this cutthroat

If you wanna maintain control, then you gotta keep up

If you can't handle the workload

Somebody else will

How could you call me unskilled?

That's like lookin' at Mount Everest and then calling it a small hill

Not at all thrilled, I'm in awe still

Tryin' not to laugh, but it just spills

Out sometimes, I been writin' chill

Just chew on this 'til the record's built, okay!

Fool me once—shame on you

Fool me twice—shame on you (On you)

Fool me three times, hold up, rewind

That's not even possible

Me, I keep it honorable (Okay)

Who's your favorite? Let me know (Lemme know)

Tally up, count the votes

Wasn't me? That's a joke

Yeah, ayy, that's a joke (Joke)

That's a, that's a joke (Joke)

Funny, yeah, that's a joke (Joke)

That's a, that's a joke (Joke)

Funny, woo, that's a joke (Joke)

That's a, that's a joke (Joke)

Funny, ayy, that's a joke

That's a joke (Haha)
