(Yung Lan on the track)
(James about that check, boy)

Came a long way from that Woodlawn Park
Now young Aminé pushin' push to start
Mr. Yellowman got himself a lil' jam
Made my fetty in Japan, 'cause I do this shit for Mark
Playin' him my shit through the phone
He tell me keep my foot up on they necks for the throne
You ain't really on, 'til all yo' niggas on
I tell him keep his head up and he set up when he home

Look, R.I.p Kobe, nigga, R.I.p Kobe (yeah)
You was like a dad to a nigga, so I'm sad my nigga
Had to get you tatted on me (true)

'Cause everybody want a piece of the pie
There's a Buffie the Body in every city
And sloppy toppy the hobby, so baby get in the ride (ooh)
Bitch you bad as fuck (ay), swipe the Visa (true, wait, wait)
Just watch what you spend 'cause my Mama need rent
And my neck gotta look like a freezer
