I can't go out like no rookie I can't do that
You know I done seen too much I've been through that

I watched them turn they back on me like they wasn't needing me
Now they gotta look at me shining I do them greasily
Look at how I blind them with diamonds I do it repeatedly
Pull-up and fuck on they lil woman I do it easily
