(chorus 2x)

All one in the same, yeah the show never ends
All you do is run around, ya playing pretend
I don’t think you know where it ends or begins
Actors, rappers and wrestlers, actors, rappers and wrestlers

He say my shoulder than a klondike

And these other bitches wanna fuck em cause his rhymes tight
Only sip tequila, thirsty for the limelight
Claim he wanna settle down but only when the times right
But he can’t pin me down cause i’m not the wife type
I might just spend the night or shit i might just catch flight
Out my mind, not in my sight, gotta a lot up on yo plate
Yeah i understand your plight, i got a lot of shit at stake aight
