Mansa Musa
Anderson .Paak feat. Dr. Dre & Cocoa Sarai Lyrics

Back on my bullshit
Returning to my old ways and habits

I got some money to blow, I'm lookin' good, bitch
I have a lot of money to spend and I look great

Even though I's the king, I stay hood rich
Despite being a king, I prefer to stay true to my roots and remain wealthy in my own way

Mansa Musa, gold jewelry
Referencing the wealthy African ruler Mansa Musa who was known for his extravagant gold jewelry

Ooh, what'chu talkin' 'bout? Shit, go two piece
What are you saying? Let's fight

Every day is Christmas, Santa got his roof missin'
I live a luxurious life every day, it's as if every day is Christmas and even Santa's missing a roof over his head in comparison

All they do throw shots at the king, it's foolish
People keep trying to undermine me, the king, and it's pointless

It's Mansa Musa, power, move, bitch!
I am Mansa Musa, a powerful and confident person, so make way

Uh, my money, money
Talking about money

Pocket so dummy
My pocket is so full of money

That mean my money so sick, I might just cough up a hunnid
My money is so much, it might make me ill

Rich girl in me own time zone, fuck whoever
I have enough money to be in my own world, I don't care about anyone else

Shit, you gotta love me
I'm so great, how could you not love me?

Now if you owe me mine, better run it
If you owe me money, you better pay up

A hunnid miles and runnin', yeah, I'm comin', still gunnin'
I'm coming after what's mine, no matter how far I have to go

Shit that we be on, you could hate it or love it
What we do or are involved in may not be for everyone, some may hate it, some may love it

And if I said it, then I meant it, mother fucker, who want it?
If I said something, I meant it, and if anyone has a problem with it, they should come and face me

Now I've been on some different shit lately
I've been on a unique, new path recently

Like I need to dumb it down for this hip hop scene
I feel like I have to lower my intelligence or change for the current hip hop scene

Can only come around for this type shit here
Only certain people can come around for this type of thing

If I have to bust around, it's on the hits, my dear
If I have to fight, it's going to be on my terms/when I'm at my best and most successful

Now what we gwan do with all these hits over here?
What should we do with all these successes and victories?

Go up in smoke when I disappear, reappear
These successes may not last and they may disappear or fade away when I'm gone and come back

Hah, I'm just bein' sincere
I'm just being honest

Boss shit, how we do it?
We handle things like bosses, how else?

Crack music, top tier, nigga
Our music holds a lot of power and is at the top of the music game

Shut it down, my nigga, chill
We killed it, let's cool down and relax

We could see right through that bullshit, you pussy, nigga, we could tell
We can easily recognize and see through someone's fake or bad behavior

Better believe my product sell
My product is selling well, don't doubt it

Made a billion off my bullshit and did it, nigga, high as hell
I made a lot of money off my own brand of BS and did it while feeling great/high

Overachiever, nigga, I excel
I'm an overachiever and I excel in everything I do

If my name is on this mother fucker, better believe the stock's up
If my name is associated with something, then it's most likely successful and valuable

Professional winners around us
We're surrounded by successful people who are constantly winning

Better fly, leave the buildin', levitatin' on you mother fucks
You better leave quickly and gracefully, or else suffer the consequences of our success

Mummy rap, double back, gimmie that
Trying to sound mysterious with our rap style and take something back from someone

Real rich niggas never advertise that
Real wealthy people don't need to flaunt their riches

Broke niggas always playin' rich, puttin' on an act
Poor people always try to act rich, it's fake

Whoa, nigga, when your money grow, maybe we could chat
When you become successful and wealthier, then we can have a conversation

But in the meantime, I remain streamlines
Until then, I keep myself streamlined and focused

Back in my ends if ever my money decline
If my money ever decreases, I'll go back to where I'm from

I double my wins, now look how my whole team shine
I increase my successes and my team benefits from it, we all shine

Hell no, blow out my dough, I'm tryna keep mine
Absolutely not, I don't want to spend or lose my money, I want to keep it

Nigga, fuck that snow up your nose, it's fuckin' ski time
Forget about snorting drugs, let's go skiing instead

Ho-ho, call up the hoes, it's shoppin' spree time
Let's go on a shopping spree and have a good time with women

Don't nobody roll in a Rolls Royce where we from
No one where we're from has a Rolls Royce, we stand out

So I'm goin' stupid as soon as I get a lil' sum
As soon as I have any amount of money, I'm going to act crazy

Dumb, they should have never gave you niggas money!
People shouldn't give certain people money because they don't know how to handle it

Hey, watch your mouth boy
Be careful and respectful with your words

You don't ball, boy
You're not doing well financially or in life

You don' maxin' out credit cards, boy
You're just spending money you don't have by maxing out your credit cards

I'ma cash cow, you a hog wart
I'm a steady source of money, while you're just a liability or burden

Tell you anything, you would fall for it
You're easily fooled and believe anything you're told

Get the piece, you don't really want war
Get your weapon, because if you start something, I'll finish it

Why the mean mug? That's uncalled for
Why do you have an angry expression? There's no need for it
