"Gifted" lyrics

Cordae Lyrics

"Gifted"
(feat. Roddy Ricch)

Living out my dream, my life was different (Get it)
If I want it then I'ma get it (Get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
'Cause I'm gifted (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know what my gift is (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know that I'm gifted (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know what my gift is (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
'Cause I'm gifted

Uh, I got a whole lotta people that's been counting on me
Got this bad lil shawty going down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like wa-la
I told niggas that I would make it they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off yo' plate
They caught me sliding on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece

See, I was twelve years with the Tommy Fit
Fifteen, crankin' Bobby bitch
I was seventeen years on this earth, when I popped a perc, made my body itch
Need a pound to blow, when I'm drowning slow, I was down below
Word to Roddy Ricch, we was slap boxin', no karate kid
Start to see the difference with a lot of shit
And my grandma got a lot of kids
Bought whips foreign, no mileages
Hit Saks Fifth, and got a Prada fit
But I still got a lotta wallet
Shit nigga this the shit that I asked for
Member last year I was mad poor
Seen my mama cry over homicides
Now she down to fly, she got a passport
And my brother locked for a backdoor
Got my grandmama new Jaguar
Big body whips like Shaq car
No credit check, straight cash card
nigga no stress, I progress
That's Mos Def, like Black Star
Seen the future in my Audemar
Stack paper, don't do no facade

Uh, I got a whole lotta people that's been counting on me
Got this bad lil shawty going down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like wa-la
I told niggas that I would make it they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off yo' plate
They caught me sliding on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece

Living out my dream, my life was different (Get it)
If I want it then I'ma get it (Get it)
Living every day like it was Christmas
'Cause I'm gifted (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know what my gift is (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know that I'm gifted (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
And I know what my gift is (Ahh-ahh-ahh)
'Cause I'm gifted

Uh, I got a whole lotta people that's been counting on me
Got this bad lil shawty going down on the D
I met shorty and we connected like the WiFi
Hopped in the Phantom, disappeared like wa-la
I told niggas that I would make it they said, "No way"
Watch them niggas that might eat up off yo' plate
They caught me sliding on the E-Way with the heat on the seat
I got tennis chains with crosses but I still keep a piece

"Gifted" is the first collaboration between Cordae and Roddy Ricch. It is the first music by Cordae released after he had left the YBN collective. He announced it on his birthday, the 27th of August 2020. The song and its video were released on the same day. Cole Bennett of Lyrical Lemonade directed the visuals.
"Fifteen, crankin' Bobby bitch" is a reference to Bobby Shmurda's song "Bobby Bitch" released on 2014 when Cordae was fifteen years old.
Speaking with Zane Lowe of Apple Music, Cordae told that he and Roddy Ricch wrote this song in 2019, "Roddy is just like a homie of mine, like in real life. You know what I'm saying? We always connect, have real life conversations. And I think we did Real Street Festival, we both did a festival that day. And then I pulled up on him at the studio and we made that song together that same night. It was definitely a dope process making that record, for sure."
Ant Clemons provided additional background vocals for this track.
