"SALT" lyrics
Follow my thoughts and dreams
It felt like I never accomplished things (Things)
Only goal I ever really had was just to get me a shot in the league (Shot)
Lookin' at friends, it's competition if you not on my team (Not on my team)
Number checkin' like a statistician when I'm not in the league (When I'm not in the league)
All my decisions are habit-driven, tryna get the machine to turn off (Shh)
I can see a cinematic vision, but they not blockin' the scene like the cops (Whoop)
Ain't involved behind the closed door with a lock in the key, it's a box (What's in the box?)
That's why I'm keepin' the secret ingredient, that's why I'm keepin' the sauce
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
You know that shit ain't sweet
All of that whinin' and bitchin'
I told you to shut up respectfully
You should be mindin' yo' business
But you couldn't do it professionally
I write it, record it, and mix it
It's sort of like whippin' a recipe
So when I get in the kitchen
You know I be cheffin' the specialty
I'm in my element, gettin' jiggy with the gelatin
It's not an album, it's a cookbook
It should top the Time's Best Sellin' list
They wonder how I'm still hungry like I'm playin' Power Forward for the Pelicans
Five years in Columbus, but you know the white boy's not settlin'
The white boy got so tuned, when'd the white boy get melanin?
You can't name one white boy this white boy's not better than
Not even Eminem—okay, maybe Eminem
But then again, I mean the old Eminem, no later than 2010
Yeah, I'm cookin' like Emeril Lagasse
They wanna look like me, sound like me, call 'em my offspring
Y'all like some rubber chicken Rick Ross wings
Not even saucy
I might go double-dip 'em in the frosty
'Cause y'all so goddamn salty
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
It felt like I never accomplished things (Things)
Only goal I ever really had was just to get me a shot in the league (Shot)
Lookin' at friends, it's competition if you not on my team (Not on my team)
Number checkin' like a statistician when I'm not in the league (When I'm not in the league)
All my decisions are habit-driven, tryna get the machine to turn off (Shh)
I can see a cinematic vision, but they not blockin' the scene like the cops (Whoop)
Ain't involved behind the closed door with a lock in the key, it's a box (What's in the box?)
That's why I'm keepin' the secret ingredient, that's why I'm keepin' the sauce
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
You know that shit ain't sweet
All of that whinin' and bitchin'

Sugar look a lot like salt
Shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet, shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
You know that shit ain't sweet
Sugar look a lot like salt
