Gucci soft up cause he cant hard top it now
Even Gucci, who has always been hard, is seen as soft because he can't measure up to the new standards.

Now what you boys got a death wish
If you guys keep trying to compete, you're just asking for trouble.

I beat a mothafucka' uglier than precious
I can beat someone down so badly that they're even more unattractive than the character Precious.

Real nigga, you can find me where the x is
I'm a real guy and you can find me where the drugs are sold.

Whippin' in the kitchen, both hands ambidextrous
I'm a skilled drug dealer and can cook with both hands equally well.

Recession got the hood pushin' more than time clocks
Due to the recession, people in the hood are working harder than ever to make ends meet.

So I dropped a hundred in the streets I don't buy stocks
Instead of investing, I'm putting my money out on the streets to help stimulate the economy.

Tell a little mothafucka' get his shine pa
Encourage the younger generation to work hard and achieve success.

Good fellas hood fellas living on my block
The people on my block are just like the characters in the movie Goodfellas; they're tough, but good-hearted.

Nigga got a problem, I solve em (solve 'em)

I'm carrying a gun in case anyone wants to start trouble.

Leave a mothafucka' shakin' like Harlem (Harlem)

Ice so bright shit shine like a light show
My jewelry is so bright and expensive that it sparkles and shines like a light show.

This my life yo go get yours bitch
This is my life, so you should go and get your own instead of trying to copy me.

Ball till we fall till the drugs hit the ball pit
We'll keep partying and having fun until we get caught or get too old, just like how kids keep playing in ball pits until they eventually grow up.
