(Zaytoven)

(To the top boy)

Get right to the bags, yeah I just pick up, my nigga
Look at me, my diamonds dancing dripping on denim
Oops my bad I spazzed out on 'em bitches here with with us
I kicked 'em to the curb 'cause they was sneaking a picture
Business is winning, I just get lit with my winnings
Gucci Gucci, I just bagged a groupie from spending
My pockets stupid, moving contraband to goofies who spend it
My partnas Looney, toolie knocking out your noodles my nigga
Who is you nigga? You brought your crew with you nigga?
We make a fool of you niggas
I'm so damn threw with ya' niggas
Ooh he goofy, talking 'bout he cool with my niggas
Out in the boonies, boolin', bagging up the fruity, my nigga
I'm too groovy why they try to group me with niggas?
They tried to do me, chew me up, and spit me smooth to my ending
I'm moving smoothly smoking up the doobies, I feel it
I keep it moving, do me just to get the loot when I'm in it

I'm cool and I'm gleaming
I'm just a fool, and I mean it
The women love me 'cause I'm nice
But I get rude in between it
I'm smooth when I'm in it
I get 'em loose when I'm in it
I leave 'em screaming out and shouting
You the man and I mean it
Damn what's the reason?
Can't understand what's the reason
I put my hands up, I'm freezing
Another black man bleeding

Black man reason, just a black man breathing
Another a black man weeping
For the black man's freedom (yeah)

Cruise through dimensions
Oh what to do through the dimensions
My pockets full not to mention
They act a fool in my mentions
Who are they kidding?
I'm just a dude from the city
Who love good food and good women
And this all that I'm giving

So this all I could give 'em
So this is all I could give today
I'm just a black man weeping
For the black man's freedom
This the black man's reason

I got these women on my line
Just want a damn reason
My Beamer screaming down the block
Sound, like a damn demon
I just went swimming off the yacht I think I found Nemo
Got people pulling up to watch me
Like the damn Regal
I just keep bringing in these dollars like I'm playing Keno
My wrist is sick It's like a nigga need some damn Chemo
I'm getting streams all up to sac way down to Mexico
Aye I be drippin, I be flyer than a damn eagle
My Partnas bad people
Shake yo hand then jam you up
I just see dead people cause I'm always stacking up
I'm on you head if you been talking out yo ass too much
Yo' bitch a rat I don't see how she let you dap me up

Man I been making waves, calling plays
Lemonade sippin'
Catch a case, run a fade
For the bank nigga
Want a Wraith, private planes
Diamond chains nigga?
To the face, every day
I roll a 1/8 in it, hol' up

So this all I could give 'em
So this is all I could give today
I'm just a black man weeping
For the black mans freedom
This the black man's reason

Say this the black man's reason
This the black man's reason

Say this the black man's reason
