it, living overseas with it
Who get fly as a fuck roll up drop a hundred thousand like seed niggas
All my jewelry is custom and it's live from the head to the V's niggas
We gon' be getting it, we gon' be getting it,
and getting it, and getting it
Drug trafficker, bank book from Attica
Mack slappa right in ya lab I put the apple on it
Dipped in pajamas, to hold the llamas and anacondas
Promotional cuts niggas with choppers
On the roof panoramic, elevator lab with a hammock
Wrangler of red, coke in cabinets
Flex on the mayor, slinging in Disney on the lay-up
Fresh new whites on you pay us
Back to this emceeing, dipped in so many DMs
Taking it back to baby BM's
Meet me at the manor, where all my niggas sit back and gamble
Put your house up, buy you a Lambo
And my lady she a winner, got a real nigga my agenda
Cop you everything give you the, number
Style more passion, flashing a general,
nasty, mixed with raw more and fashion
This for the listeners with big businesses getting
it, living overseas with it
Who get fly as a fuck roll up drop a hundred thousand like seed niggas
All my jewelry is custom and it's live from the head to the V's niggas
We gon' be getting it, we gon' be getting it,
and getting it, and getting it
Russian connect shower head flooded in baguettes
Come live in my garage with the steps
Blue nosed pit, the stove cost a hundred
We trick, money we funny tax write ,
Covers is Louie, pillows Chanel, flowing well
Fish tank gazelle made me skip
The Honolulu of France, maxing with my boo boo
Between me and you in this rap I'm a guru
Everything we buy is fly, from Fila to Dida
Catch me overseas near the ,
3 6 to B.I's, tee on, Levis
Tidal wave rap version me forty ,
Pussy ain't nothing, it's money we want
Rolling a blunt, run down your honey with a gun, yo
Niggas to bitches to outside visitors
With rap crack darts dedicated to the listeners
This for the listeners with big businesses getting
it, living overseas with it
Who get fly as a fuck roll up drop a hundred thousand like seed niggas
All my jewelry is custom and it's live from the head to the V's niggas
We gon' be getting it, we gon' be getting it,
and getting it, and getting it
