I sent a load to Virginia
I took a boat to Virginia
I took a boat to Virginia
I sent a load to Virginia
I took a boat to Virginia
I know you remember

I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Bad bitch shoppin' out in Tysons Corner, how could you forget it?
Sunnyside Café in Baltimore, I know you remember
I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Alexandria, in the project, I post up and I get it
Columbia Pike, eighteen-wheeler, 'bout to unload in a minute
I sent a load to Virginia, I sent a load to Virginia
Caught a play in Southeast DC, then I took a boat to Virginia
I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia

Have you ever been criticized for nothin'?
Have you ever been penalized for assumptions?
I done been canceled, I done been muted
By the whole industry, I done said f*ck it
Got a few metric ton loads comin' in, I been reluctant to touch 'em
I got a bitch out in South Carolina 
I done been throwin' that dick in her stomach
Happy when makin' my music, recordin'
That been important, spendin' my time on that
B taught me how to recompress a block, workin' a five-ton jack
Sometimes I still feel myself slippin' back into old depression
Idle mind reminiscin' 'bout past relationships, goin' to stressin'
Got a lot of love in the streets, but that won't make the bitch you want be grateful
God sent me a new situation, just want you to know that she amazin'
Bein' reflective, we sit and we talk
Deep meditation, she healin' my scars
She got idea that I'm still dealin' raw
She got an idea that I get in my feelings
Sometimes when I'm chillin', I'm dealin' her wrong
She got an idea that I'm still affiliated with the mafia, I'm drivin' the car
She got an idea that if her baby daddy play with her children, I take him to war
Once it's done, I'ma smoke a cigar

I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Bad bitch shoppin' out in Tysons Corner, how could you forget it?
Sunnyside Café in Baltimore, I know you remember
I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Alexandria, in the project, I post up and I get it
Columbia Pike, eighteen-wheeler, 'bout to unload in a minute
I sent a load to Virginia, I sent a load to Virginia
Caught a play in Southeast DC, then I took a boat to Virginia

Yeah, I got a new nigga and he great
I'm workin' out, I been gettin' in shape
I ain't really one for droppin' names
I just know his last name rhyme with weight
Escalade backin' up to the gate
Because of him, I get a brick off the face
We up in B-Town
Airbnb and he finna D me down
His exes want beef now
But I'm from the streets and I really put heat down
I put a parking pass on the car
I took a flight, comin' back tomorrow
I took a redeye from Atlanta
Picked up in a Redeye with a hammer
He got me facedown in the mattress
Get on the Greyhound with a package
Grippin' my waist now when he smack it
I pour an eight down in a Fanta
Nigga, my voice soundin' kinda raspy
I got some ballplayers wan' get at me
I ain't got time for him, I got status
Four forty-eight, weigh it up and bag it
I ain't goin' back and forth 'bout an addy
Just put a thousand on 'em up in traffic

I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Bad bitch shoppin' out in Tysons Corner, how could you forget it?
Sunnyside Café in Baltimore, I know you remember
I took a boat to Virginia, I took a boat to Virginia
Alexandria, in the project, I post up and I get it
Columbia Pike, eighteen-wheeler, 'bout to unload in a minute
I sent a load to Virginia (yeah), I sent a load to Virginia
Caught a play in Southeast DC, then I took a boat to Virginia

Hey, but two wrongs don't make a right
Said I get it on sometimes
Been mixin' the H with the Fent', it go in the blend', I fetch me a Benz
