You drink lean 'cause the internet
She ask me for a massage, I told her I wasn't feelin' that
Bracelet cost a fifty pack
A tennis chain, no tennis rack'
Plenty racks, add it up
Tity Boi, no Similac
I told you once, can't trust these hoes
Pink ring on Super Bowl
Always on your smart phone done turned you to a stupid ho
Trappin' out my studio, I don't have to fabricate
Slap your ass with dollar bills, patty cake, patty cake (let's go)
Goin' on another run
