Lil B Lyrics

Cause you are beautiful (beautiful)
Acknowledging the beauty in someone and complimenting them on it.

Wingman 'til I turn into the main man
Assisting someone to succeed until they become the leader themselves.

I've been ballin' so long, need an Ace band
Been doing well for a long time, to the point of needing a bandage for the injuries acquired along the way.

Calvin Klein on my waistband
Wearing a type of fashionable undergarment as a sign of success.

In Adidas tracksuits like we breakdance
Wearing athletic clothing as a nod to the original hip-hop roots.

Say man, how it feel to be a made man?
Asking about what it feels like to have succeeded and made it big.

Shit I be feelin' like I'm God, like I made man
Feeling like an all-powerful, divine creator who can do anything.

Black man gettin' money through the made men
Achieving success as a black man through the help of other successful, established people.

Paper chasin', let saber scrape
Working hard to accumulate wealth, even if it means taking risks or enduring challenges along the way.

And get money, fuck a case
Prioritizing making money over avoiding legal issues.

Did they ever tell you money has no race?
Questioning the idea that race should influence one's ability to achieve financial success.

You still livin' like a caveman
Living in poverty and with a limited lifestyle.

No agenda, hunger, don't discriminate
Having a drive to succeed without having biases or preferences for certain things.

I remember empty plates, was nothin' on it for the grace
Recounting times of great poverty and hunger.

But both prayin' hands, I need an amen
Despite difficult circumstances and a need for help, still holding on to faith and asking for support.

You talkin' Kirkin, I'm gettin' Franklins
Choosing to focus on making money instead of spending it extravagantly.

You lookin' braindead, she lost her Ray Bans
Observing someone who appears dull or uninteresting and describing another person who misplaced an expensive item.

She like the rain dance, I make it rain bands
Describing a woman who is impressed with a show of wealth and the ability to make it rain money.

Made my pop proud and my mother smile
Successfully making one's parents happy and proud through personal accomplishments.

Locked towns, rocked crowds in the hundred thousands
Having strong influence, popularity, and success in live performances or events.

Make music, make moves, make movies
Achieving success and creating content in various creative industries.

Make time to thank the Lord that was great to me
Expressing gratitude and acknowledging divine intervention in one's success.

A real boss don't move for nobody
Stating that someone in a leadership role or position of power does not take orders from others.

But my shooter, he got plenty bodies, he hit anybody
Asserting oneself as someone with control over a hired gunman, who has killed many people and will do so again.

Each and everybody, somebody
Believing that each and every person is unique, special, and significant in their own way.

Any, any, eenie meenie minie moebody, stiff
Choosing anyone in a haphazard way, even if they are not suitable or ideal for the situation.

Nobody live
Reflecting on the inevitability of death and the fact that everyone will eventually perish.

Yeah, I make it rain by the corner store
Boasting about the ability to throw money around and make it rain unexpectedly in regular, mundane places.

She said I made it far but I wanted more
Someone acknowledging the success another has achieved while suggesting they are still pursuing additional accomplishments.

I got drivers with no cars
Employing people to drive someone around, even if they do not have a car of their own.

I had battles with no scars
Fighting difficult battles and going through tough times without showing visible signs of physical harm or trauma.

If you wanna be Mufasa
Referring to succeeding like the beloved Lion King character and becoming a leader or king.

You could die too, my bullets givin' Oscars
Threatening violence and boasting about one's aim and precision with guns, as if they were giving awards.

And my guns givin' Grammys
Showing off one's guns and their superiority as if they were receiving music awards.

I know Clams got me, A$AP my family
Trusting in one's talent, as well as the support and loyalty of friends and colleagues.

So how can I lose?
Confident that success is imminent and can't be lost.

When I know that BasedGod, he made new rules
Having faith in Lil B's BasedGod persona to create new rules and ways of achieving success.

Gave me the juice, passed off diamonds
Being given power and success by Lil B, who also shared his wealth and resources.

Hot in the winter, and cold when it's shinin'
Having something that is impressive and useful year-round, regardless of the season or weather.

Wanna be great, I just wanna be great
Expressing a desire for success and greatness.

The BasedGod's perfect, but that's just the surface
Recognizing that Lil B's BasedGod persona is perfect, but there is more to him beneath the surface.

So what we talkin' 'bout? Devil's steady lurkin'
Challenging the topic or focus of a conversation and pointing out the presence of negativity.

Double edged sword, draw blood when you turnin'
Acknowledging the risk or potential harm of making a decision or taking an action.

In my condo that I designed
Being successful and wealthy enough to own a custom-designed living space.

I would never buy it if it wasn't mine
Recognizing that true success and wealth comes from ownership, not just the act of purchasing something.

I don't need a gun, I just need the bullets
Declaring that power comes from having a clear and focused aim, rather than just having the tools or weapons.

Money not racist, my drugs caucasian
Asserting that money is not exclusive to any particular race, but that certain drugs may be more prominent in certain cultures or demographics.

Guns from Russia, house in Sweden
Being well-traveled and having access to resources and assets from various countries.

No ones believes me, the world thinks I'm evil
Feeling misunderstood or targeted by negative opinions or perceptions from others.

But what if I'm poor? I guess I always wanted more
Contemplating the possibility of not being successful, but continuing to strive for success anyways.

Be somebody
Encouraging others to strive for success, to make a name for themselves, and to become significant and unique individuals.

Be somebody
Reiterating the importance of personal growth, success, and individual identity.
