A Lie
D. Brown Lyrics

I'm balling now (stop)
I am now successful and wealthy.

Yeah just like Kobe
I am as successful in my field as Kobe Bryant was in basketball.

You calling now (stop)
People who used to ignore me are now trying to contact me.

Yeah bitch you know me
The people who are trying to contact me are people who know me and my past.

You falling off (stop)
Others are losing their power and control compared to me.

And I'm taking all your hoes bitch
I am gaining more attention from women than others who used to have that attention.

I'm showing off (stop)
I am flaunting my success and wealth.

What the fuck I gotta lie for?
I do not need to lie about my success because it is true.

(Stop, stop) what the fuck I gotta lie for?
I am reinforcing the fact that I do not need to lie.

(Stop, stop) what the fuck I gotta lie for?
I am again emphasizing that I do not need to lie.

(Stop, stop) what the fuck I gotta lie for?
I am concluding that there is no reason for me to lie about my accomplishments.

I ain't never had shit (shit)
I came from nothing and was not successful in the past.

Zilch zero nothing (nothing)
I literally had nothing before.

Now that a nigga got something (something)
I now have wealth and success.

Yeah bitch I'm stunting (stunting)
I am flaunting my wealth and success to others.

Look at all this monies (monies)
I have a lot of money.

Hundreds and these fiftys (fiftys)
I have a lot of hundred and fifty dollar bills.

Eatin' at the Whitney (Whitney)
I am going to fancy restaurants like The Whitney in Detroit.

Now your bitch wanna come with me (stop)
Other men's girlfriends or wives are now attracted to me and want to be around me.

'Cause we 'bout to go to the mall (mall)
I am taking these women shopping and spending money on them.

Tonight we popping bottles (bottles)
We are going to drink expensive champagne.

My baby momma a hoodrat (hoodrat)
My ex-girlfriend/mother of my child was not successful or well-behaved.

But now I got me a model (stop)
I am now dating an attractive and successful model.

And she wanna swallow (swallow)
She is willing to perform sexual acts on me.

Drink it all up (up)
She is willing to consume large amounts of alcohol.

Straight to the neck from the bottle, bitch you don't need no cup (yeah)
We are drinking the champagne directly from the bottle and not using cups.

And we 'bout to go make it rain (rain)
We are going to throw money in the air and make it rain down on others in a public setting.

Thunder, fucking storm (storm)
The act of throwing money in the air will create excitement and energy like a storm.

Kush nuggets to the brain (brain)
We are going to smoke marijuana and feel the effects in our brains.

Pop fucking corn (corn)
We are going to make popcorn to eat while we hang out and do drugs.

Shapow! Bitch! Wow! (Wow!)
I am expressing excitement and enthusiasm for the night ahead.

Been had hundreds (hundreds)
I have had one hundred dollar bills for a long time.

Nah, nigga I'm lying (I'm lying)
I am now admitting that I have been lying about my wealth in the past.

You know that I be fronting
Others are aware that I have been lying about my success and wealth.

Got that income tax swag (stop)
I have a lot of money from my income tax refund.

That income tax swag (stop)
I am flaunting my wealth that came from my income tax refund.

That bad dame in my lap, just copped her a bag
I have purchased an expensive purse for the woman I am with.

I'ma blow it all now (now)
I am going to spend all of my money now instead of saving it.

Mothafuck a later (later)
I do not care about the future; I only care about the present.

'Bout to cop me a mink (mink)
I am going to buy a very expensive fur coat.

Diamond encrusted 'gators (stop)
I am going to buy shoes with diamonds on them.

Car with a TV in it (in it)
I am going to buy a car that has a television inside of it.

Maid and a butler too (too)
I am going to hire servants to do tasks for me.

So what nigga this rented (rented)
I do not actually own any of these expensive things; I am just renting them for the night.

Right gone have to do (stop)
For now, this arrangement will suffice.

And I'm gonna take it all wit' me (wit' me)
When I die, I cannot take any of this wealth with me.

When I'm gone bitch it's gone too (gone too)
My wealth will not benefit anyone when I am dead.

Who cares when the kids get grown (grown)
I am not concerned about leaving an inheritance for my children.

Better figure out what they gone do (ha)
My children will have to figure out their own lives without financial help from me.

'Cause right now nigga I got it (i got it)
I have a lot of money right now.

Nigga what about you? (what uh)
Others may not have as much money as I do.

Broke-ass niggas worth nothing (nothing)
People who are not wealthy are not valued in society.

I can buy y'all in twos (in twos)
I have so much money that I can buy other people in groups of two.

'Cause a long time ago nigga (nigga)
I used to not have any money and was like these other people.

Nigga was just like you (nigga)
I used to be just like these other people who are not wealthy.

But we ain't talking 'bout the past (nigga)
We are not dwelling on the past when I was not wealthy.

It's about right now my dude (my dude)
It is important to focus on the present moment when I am successful and wealthy.
