Yeah, uh, mh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, uh, mh
She know I'm the one like Neo (Neo)
Her best friend want a trio (trio)
Ice on my neck, that's frio (frio)
College nigga, I was drinkin' Tito's (Tito's)
Now, it's champagne for the free though (free though)
Real gold chain, not a Ceelo (Ceelo)
Niggas wanna talk we gon' reload (reload)
Just touched down we in Euro (Euro)
Italy summer, Lake Como (Como)
Drivin' on a boat next to Clooney's house
Sippin on a little Casamigos (Pellegrino)
These models say cheese for the photo
Size eleven, nigga, I'm a Frodo (Frodo)
I bought two chairs in the south of France
I'm a cultured motherfucker nigga you know (you know)
Brand new Aminé got you baptized
Sauvie Island Records, we gon' franchise
Seven and three quarters be my hat size
Told my barber fade it on both sides, yeah (this is a rebirth)
I told my barber fade it on both sides, nigga (this is a rebirth)
Uh, fade it on both sides
She know I'm the one like Neo (Neo)
Her best friend want a trio (trio)
Ice on my neck that's frio (frio)
It's Friday R.I.P Deebo (Deebo)
College nigga I was drinkin' Tito's (Tito's)
Now, it's champagne for the free though (free though)
Real gold chain not a Ceelo (Ceelo)
Niggas wanna talk we gon' reload (reload)
I'm on my SQD MOB
You know where I'm from, baby (503)
It's hard to find love when your soul feel bleak
Got a hundred missed calls, girl, it ain't that deep
Stuck in the middle
Shootin' up her club but I don't have pistol
Sittin' on my lap, got me hard as her nipples
That's not a glock, baby, that's my pickle
She know I'm the one like Neo (Neo)
Her best friend want a trio (trio)
Ice on my neck that's frio (frio)
It's Friday R.I.P Deebo (Deebo)
College nigga I was drinkin Tito's (Tito's)
Now, it's champagne for the free though (free though)
Real gold chain not a Ceelo (Ceelo)
Niggas wanna talk we gon reload (reload)
Came out the jump with it right in my truck
And we tryna have fun, fuck a PO
DMS by the mil', talkin'. "Come to Brazil"
And we just might pull up to Rio

Every time I listen to a song of his I think “this is the best one” but then I listen to the next song and think the same. It’s safe to say that his whole album is just amazingly good, each song is unique and different. It’s truly a wonderful experience. 🙏🏾
