No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
Still here with my day one niggas, so you hear me say
No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
I still ride with my day one niggas, I don't really need
No new friends, no new friends, no new friends, no, no new
I stay down from day one so I say
Fuck all y'all niggas except my niggas
One more time
Fuck all ya'll niggas except my niggas
Fuck all ya'll niggas, stay down from day one so I say
(Fuck a fake friend, where your real friends at? Started!)
Man this shit so ill that we had to restart it
H-town my second home like I'm James Harden
Money counter go burrr when you sellin' out the Garden
Four car garage, pornstar ménage
Birdman go brrr cause he know this shit retarded
Fuck her on the floor before we make it to the bed
That's what your ass really call started from the bottom, yes lord
OVO Sound man I'm proud of my niggas
Knew that we would make it never doubted my niggas
All my bitches love me
If I had a baby mama she would probably be richer then a lot of you niggas
Aye that's luxury dawg, day one niggas man ya'll stuck with me dawg
Ever since Youtube niggas been calling me the leader of the new school
Fuck with me dawg, yeah
Your bitch all in my photographs, ho niggas got hate for me
Big homies all certified, nothing niggas gon' take from me
Follow codes, study game, feed fam nigga fuck fame
All black my whip foreign, these bad hoes keep tiptoeing
Down in Turks and Caicos, dope boy that's my dress code
All I hug is blood nigga, Khaled that's my flesh tho
All I want is love nigga, money bring that stress tho
Smoke good I love life, strip club like erry night
Every night my same niggas, day one, straight menace (Rozay!)
Ugh, I'm here with my niggas, I'm too high to be friendly
They throw dirt on my name, well that's why they still dig me
And I'm tired of all this hating, I thank God for my patience
I thank God for my homies, I wish we could trade places
Bitch we good-fellas, boy all them niggas with you they just pall bearers
And if we ball catch us, remember sip slow, live fast
Young Money, stay young
I been Cash Money since day one
Tunechi
Fuck all y'all niggas except my niggas
Fuck them other niggas cuz' I'm down for my niggas

Birdman (a rapper who is also mentioned in this song) approves of my brash behavior, as he knows that it gets a lot of attention and perhaps compliments it with the expression 'brrr'
Fuck her on the floor before we make it to the bed
In a continuation of the explicit lyrics, I describe engaging in sexual activity with someone on the floor, even before we make it to the bed

I am aware that some people describe their journey to success as starting from the bottom, but what I just described is much more scandalous and unconventional

I take pride in my crew, the OVO Sound artists, and I express it in this verse
Knew that we would make it never doubted my niggas
I always believed in my friends and their potential to be successful
All my bitches love me

Ugh, I'm here with my niggas, I'm too high to be friendly
I confirm that I am hanging out with my original friends and that I am too high (likely from weed) to be kind to anyone else
They throw dirt on my name, well that's why they still dig me
People say negative things about me, but the fact that they still pay attention to me shows that they have not truly forgotten me and perhaps still like me in some way

I express my fatigue towards all the hate that I receive, but I also thank God for his gift of patience to help me endure it all
I thank God for my homies, I wish we could trade places
I am grateful to God for my original friends, and I wish that we could switch lives as they mean so much to me
Bitch we good-fellas, boy all them niggas with you they just pall bearers
We are a group of loyal, trustworthy friends who are like the characters in the movie 'Goodfellas', whereas those who hang out with others are just carrying each others' coffins (pall bearers)
And if we ball catch us, remember sip slow, live fast
If we become successful, there will be some people who will try to follow us, but it is important to take it slow and enjoy the ride, rather than rush into things too quickly

I mention the Young Money record label, created by Lil Wayne, suggesting that they are still young and successful

Cold world (cold world), cold world (mmm, yes it is, yeah)
And the ones that you keep close are the ones will take you down

Cold world (cold), a cold cold world
'Fore I surrender to you, (surrender) surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
