Uh, uh
Tired of these niggas flexing, it ain't nothin'
Niggas, they done turned nothing, (Bang, bang), into something
Want some fake lean, really dumb, man
I just went to Benihana's nigga, I got [?]
I just hit in the stu', this bitch came in to suck me
Hating niggas fame, boy they wouldn't even cross me
She said that she love me, baby girl you're ugly
Push it, push it, push it, push it, push it, push it back, yeah
Bands in my pocket, baby you just be on set go
I got to stay ten toes, can't let my niggas go out sad, woah
She swear she didn't fuck with me, but now shΠ΅ in my bed, woah
I'm smoking out the bowl, woah
My young niggas ready to go, oh
I got lockΠ΅d up when I was just sixteen
I hit up Jpurp, like do you miss me?
[?] whiskey
Yeah, yeah, [?]
In the White House sipping tea
She the only bitch I need
I'ma be up in her ass tonight
I'm up like a astronaut, I'm off that marijua'
Yeah, yeah, she get wet like irrigation
Fed want interrogation, I can't fuck with that-that-that
Most of these niggas stuck in debt-debt-debt
[?] on me, my lil' killa, they gon' set them back
Oh, oh
Bag, ffft
Beni', let's go
Woah

He contrasts this with his own journey - he and his friends have turned their nothing into something, which he emphasizes with a gunshot sound. He goes on to mention the allure of fake lean, but he chooses to invest in things like dinner at Benihana's and high-end clothing instead, which came easy to him. Izaya reflects on fame and the people who envy him, acknowledging that they are not a threat to him.
