Girl, I can't see my reflection
Diamonds on my necklace

Girl, I can't see my reflection
Diamonds on my necklace
She just left me breathless
She like imperfection
They want me to live, but I really wanna end it
I got a lot of demons, but I never do confessions
They think that I'm bad news
Always knew I had you
Got a lot of tattoos and I got a bag too
If you ain't chasin' racks, then I don't really understand you
I don't wait for nothin', so that's why I'm goin' past you

Yeah, I'm sippin' Hennessy without a chaser
And I'm totin' on a Glock with a laser
I knew I wouldn't be shit without my haters
I'm a rockstar, pissin' off my neighbors
Jump inside the car, it's a fast one
Baby girl, I promise I'm not like your last one
Anything that I put on, they call it fashion
I'm fucking rich, I'm finna die inside a mansion
Stop acting like you know me
Heart so cold, got me feeling like Coldy
I heard that they missin' the old me
But I don't miss that, baby that was the broke me
I might just cop a new Rollie
24 racks for a show like I'm Kobe
Ice on my neck got me frozen
Dying out west got me feeling like black Peep

Girl, I can't see my reflection
Diamonds on my necklace
She just left me breathless
She like imperfection
They want me to live, but I really wanna end it
I got a lot of demons, but I never do confessions
They think that I'm bad news
Always knew I had you
Got a lot of tattoos and I got a bag too




If you ain't chasin' racks, then I don't really understand you
I don't wait for nothin', so that's why I'm goin' past you
