Iโฒll show you respect, yeah
Left foot, right foot, one to the head, yeah
Left hook, right hook, on to the deck, yeah
Standing sleeping, walking dead, yeah
V-12 leakin', big exhaust (huh?) yeah
Beat off leavinโฒ man in the morgue, yeah
Speed off, burn off, suttin' got tortured
Sex, money, I need some more, yeah
Take a chance, I can afford to take a chance
My baddie bi like sayonara
Ferrari you drivinโฒ South of France
They preeinโฒ, they schemin' and tryinโฒ
Tryna get their eye on my ting, but they can't
Cardiac arrest on my neck and it froze up my chest
I think I broke my heart (chyeah!)
The bad ting from Budapest
Hit her in Paris and I told her, "Au revoir"

Big boy pow, big boy cash, big boy wow
You can't take bad gyal from big boy (chyeah!)
