In The Sun
French Montana Lyrics

Thought I had it all, I ain't had shit (I ain't had shit)
Despite thinking he had everything, in reality, he actually had nothing at all.

Couple cars outside with a bad bitch (outside with a bad bitch)
He had some cars and a female companion waiting outside for him.

Seven chains 'round my neck, ice boat wrist (ice boat wrist)
He had seven chains around his neck, as well as a watch with a lot of ice on it.

Big championship rings, ice boat fist (ice boat fist)
He had big championship rings and a lot of ice on his fist.

Playin' cards on a yacht, bitch, go fish (bitch, go fish)
He was playing cards on a yacht, telling someone to go fish.

When you livin' like this, people know this (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
When you're living like he did, people were aware of it.

Whole time they just hopin' that you blow it (la-di-da, la-di-da, la-di-da)
People were secretly hoping that he would fail despite his success.

Ill wishes comin' from the people you keep closest (ayy, ayy)
The people he trusted the most were secretly wishing him harm.

Ball like a ringer in that prep uniform ('form)
He was playing basketball really well in his prep uniform.

I guess that worked out when they ain't step up for him
When people failed to help him out, he still managed to make it work.

In my project ('ject), too broke to make a project
He was too financially strapped to undertake a new project in his neighborhood.

Heart was the pushups, hustle was the biceps
He relied on hard work and determination to get ahead.

Mindset, real estate in the realer states (states)
He had the right mindset to invest in real estate in different parts of the country.

Steal and take, facilitate, I'm finna break (break)
He was willing to take calculated risks in order to achieve success.

Jealousy is a motherfucker, yeah
Jealousy is a powerful emotion that can cause people to act negatively towards others.

Cash and the lust 'til the ashes and dust
People have a strong desire for money until everything is gone.

Gotta pick and choose, realest lose, stick and move (move)
To be successful, one has to make strategic decisions and move forward.

Yeah, with twelve tube socks, you couldn't fit the shoes (shoes)
The shoes that he had were too small for anyone to wear, even with twelve tube socks.

Yeah, and betrayal, that's the note
Betrayal is a common occurrence in his life.

They wouldn't move a finger by the O
People wouldn't lift a finger to help him out, even if he asked for assistance.

Plant the seeds, watch 'em grow (han)
He had to plant the seeds of his success and watch them grow over time.

Montana!
A shout out to his home state or nickname.

That jealousy a motherfucker, come 'round (it's a motherfucker)
Jealousy can sneak up on you and cause problems unexpectedly.

Tryna get under you, call you big brother (call you big brother)
People will try to get close and use you in order to get ahead.

When they leave your presence, it's a whole 'nother discussion (whole 'nother)
People will talk behind your back and say negative things about you when you're not around.

Him and his homies plottin' a home invasion with they guns bustin' (guns bustin')
People will plot to rob or harm you and your family with guns blazing.

Snakes shed their skin and reappear as mint (reappear as mint)
People will change their appearances and personalities in order to deceive you.

It's up to us to stomp him out and throw him in the trench (throw him in the trench)
It's up to us to stop those who wish to harm us and remove them from our lives completely.

Eastside, rep mine everywhere I went (everywhere I went)
He represented his neighborhood and his values wherever he went.

Eastside, anywhere I been, chronic in the wind (chronic in the wind)
He smoked chronic weed wherever he went in his neighborhood.

All in the AC vent, nigga, this that OG shit (nigga, this that OG shit)
He put all his drugs in the air conditioning vent, and this was the classic way in which he performed such activities.

Told the staff don't trip, the owners know who we is (the owners know who we is)
He informed the staff not to worry because the owners of the place knew him and his friends well.

I pulled up, hopped out right in front that bitch (right in front that bitch)
He arrived and parked directly in front of the location he needed to get to.

Kept my keys, I ain't want that valet touchin' my shit (ayy, ayy, ayy, la-di-da, la-di-da)
He decided to park his car himself instead of letting the valet do it for fear that they might damage or steal his car.
