All the sacrifices, the amount of wishes (Switch it)
Thick skin, I'm bringing out the thickest, uh (Thickest)
Big swinger, I ain't about the wickets, yeah

True these man are balling and get all the cash in (Yeah)
Up in early morning, got the corner catching (Catching)
Man was on the corner, made the corner happen (Yeah)
And we ain't cut no corners, we bridge all the gap in
Someone tell these rappers we done all the mapping (Jheez)

And I don't wanna have to bring it back to money (Why?)
But I was in the trap when man was acting bummy
