Money tall just like a Dane
Money tall just like a Dane, yeah
Choppa take off his brain
Choppa take off ya brains, yeah
Don't make me take off the brakes
Take the bands off of the wraith, yeah
Stars, they shine in the wraith, yeah
You'll get money too, nigga be patient
We gettin' racks even on vacation, nigga
If you tripping on ya laces
Beretta might take ya braces
If you get out, help out ya best-friend
Your best-friend broke too
I remember I used to fuck with you
I could really put myself in your shoes
I remember, I was like that too
Felt, like I couldn't live without you
Now, I'm flexing right on you, yeah
Turn one rack to two
You wouldn't do nothing for my ass
But I'd do everything for you
Oh you got that nigga? Well he over soon
Yeah
You live by that gun, you die by that gun
I guess that's just how it work (yeah)
I live by these racks, I die by these racks
Your boyfriend he just a clerk
I'm with KanKan, he swiping
Two bad hoes, they vibing
They see the percs and nigga they eyeing
His pockets so sad, that nigga need guidance
And I want diamonds on my bitch
And I want diamonds on my friends
And I want diamonds on my wrist
And I want diamonds on my neck
And I want a big ass LA mansion
And I wanna take quick flight to France
But we could take it all
Quicker than a nigga could glance
