Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Jheez
Yeah
Right
Look
Look

Tell me how you really feel
Tell me how you really feel
I would ask you what's the deal
But you don't even got a deal
Most niggas with a deal
Couldn't make a greatest hits
Y'all a whole lot of things
But you still ain't this
I don't know no one
That could tell me what to do
Heard you never claimed the hood
Heard the hood claimed you
That can't sit well
Oh well, ship sailed
Still mine, all mine
Cosign, cosign
I pull up in yachts so big
That they try to hit me with boat fines
Hype Williams, Big Pimpin', yeah
Just like the old times
Same niggas from the old days
Lot of sides on the same side
OVO, we a gold mine
But I'm going gold no time
Doing plat', plat' only
Boys better back off me
Hall of fame, hall of fame
Like I'm shirt off, like I'm shirt off
Like I'm shirt off shorty
Whole city going crazy
Whole city going crazy
Top 5, no debating
Top 5, top 5, top 5
And the whole city rate me
And I'm back inside The Matrix
And I said that we would make it
Aim squad with some traitors
Knew my niggas from the basement
This ain't no met-along-the-way shit
We done really put some days in

I'm like "Why you so excited?" You know what I'm sayin'?
What happened?
Did he win the Grammy? Goddamn
He actin' like he fuckin' won a trophy and shit
This nigga turnt the fuck up

They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
Swervin' off, panoramic
I'm hangin' out, they can't stand me
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
I'm showin' out, they can't stand me
I'm showin' out, they can't stand me
I'm swervin' off, they can't stand me
I'm err off, can't stand me
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy

Gonna peel off like a bandit
I'm noddin' off on a Xanax
Get pissed off, start airin' it
Get a head start, ain't friendly
I stand out, I don't blend in
When I say that I meant that
I don't want to talk to you has beens
I don't features from nan them
I don't want features or nothin'
You can't even get on my guest list
They want me to go to the Met Gala
I want a Percocet and a gallon
The Actavis, Hi-Tech, it don't matter
We sittin' right on the courtside
I know the players on both sides
I'm cashin' out, fuck a cosign
I wear the chain like a bow tie
I wear the ring like a fo'-five
Keep the fo'-five for the poor guys
Black tint, low profile
Celebratin' everyday
'Cause I'm really really fresh out the coke house
Countin' up every single day
'Bout to bring a whole 'nother whip out

They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
Swervin' off, panoramic
I'm hangin' out, they can't stand me
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy
I'm showin' out, they can't stand me
I'm showin' out, they can't stand me
I'm swervin' off, they can't stand me
I'm err off, can't stand me
They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy

They gon' think I won a Grammy
They gon' think I won a Grammy

Tell me how you really feel
Express your true emotions to me

But you don't have a music contract

Most niggas with a deal
Majority of rappers with a contract

Couldn't make a greatest hits
Are unable to create popular music

Y'all a whole lot of things
You can be many things

But you still ain't this
But you are not as good as me

I don't know no one
I do not know anyone

That could tell me what to do
Who can dictate what I should do

Heard you never claimed the hood
I heard you have never represented your neighborhood

Hear the hood claimed you
But your hood sees you as one of their own

That can't sit well
This cannot be accepted

Oh well, ship sailed
It's a missed opportunity

Still mine, all mine
However, I am still successful alone

Cosign, cosign
I have another's approval

I pull up in yachts so big
I arrive in a very large yacht

That they try to hit me with boat fines
And they try to fine me for my yacht

Hype Williams, Big Pimpin'
With notable music video director Hype Williams and Jay Z's hit song "Big Pimpin'"

Same niggas from the old days
My original friends from the past

Lot of sides on the same side
Different personalities but we are all on the same team

OVO we a gold mine
My record label is very successful

But I'm going gold no time
But I am achieving even more success quickly

Doing plat, plat only
Only interested in platinum records

Boys better back off me
Other rappers better respect me

Hall of fame, hall of fame
I'm in the hall of fame

Like I'm shirt off, like I'm shirt off
Like I'm celebrating without a shirt on

Like I'm shirt off shorty
Like I'm confident and having fun

Whole city going crazy
The entire city is excited

Top 5 no debating
I am one of the top five rappers, without a doubt

And the whole city rate me
The entire city admires me

And I'm back inside the matrix
And I am back in the rap game

And I said that we would make it
And I knew we would be successful

Ain't squad with some traitors
My squad is loyal

Knew my niggas from the basement
I have a tight relationship with my original friends from the beginning

This ain't no metal-on-the-way shit
We are not messing around

We done really put some days in
We have put in a lot of work and time for our success

I'm like "Why you so excited?" you know what I'm sayin'
I ask, "Why are you so enthusiastic? Do you know why?"

What happened?
Why are you acting this way?

Did he win the grammy? God damn
Did someone win a Grammy award? Geez

He acting like he fucking won a trophy
He is celebrating like he won an award

They gon' think I won a Grammy
People will assume I won a Grammy

Swerving off, Panoramic
Riding in a fast, wide-angle view car

I'm hanging out, they can't stand me
I'm having fun and people are jealous of me

I'm showing out, they can't stand me
I'm flaunting my success and people hate it

I'm err, can't stand me
I'm different and unique, and people are uncomfortable with me

Gonna peel off like a bandit
Leaving quickly like a thief

I'm noddin' off on a Xan niggas
I'm high on Xanax and sleepy

Get pissed off, start airing it
It creates anger and starts problems

Get a head start, I ain't friendly
I'm not interested in making new friends and start right away

I stand out, I don't blend in
I'm unique and not trying to fit in

When I say that I meant that
When I say something, I mean it

I don't want to talk to you has beens
I don't want to talk to people who are no longer relevant

I don't features from nan them
I don't collaborate with unknown rappers

You can't even get on my guest list
You are not important enough to be invited to my events

They wan't me to go to the Met Gala
The fashion industry wants me to attend the Met Gala event

I want a Percocet and a gallon
I'm craving for the painkiller Percocet and a lot of alcohol

The Activis high takin' don't matter
Feeling high from the drug Activis is not important

We sitting right on the court side
We have great seats for the basketball game

I know the players on both sides
I know players from both teams

I'm cashing out, fuck a cosign
I am making a lot of money, and I do not need anyone's approval

I wear the chain like a bow tie
I wear my chain like a fashionable accessory

I wear the ring like a fo'-five
I wear my ring like a gun

Keep a fo'-five for the poor guys
I carry a gun to protect myself from danger

Black tint, low profile
I have a car with dark windows to avoid attention

Celebrating everyday
I'm enjoying my success all the time

'Cause I'm really really fresh at the coke house
I am successful in the drug game

Counting up every single day
I'm making money every day

'Bout to bring a whole 'nother whip out
I'm going to buy a whole new car
