And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up
In the back I was countin these bands up
And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up
Pull up and the clip disappear like it's nothing
Free N.R.B. for my brothers I'm rushing
Dayday let me know got some cash for you cousin nah he said bousin
Fifteen hunnid straight and said turn it to something
So I turn it to something I said ten bands is nothing
She always tryna touch when I come around
Told her do the most come on buss it down
Baby gotta earn it when you come around
Ain't nobody love me I was on the ground
Pullin up with glizzys leave ya on the ground
Eating on my bitch make a sound
Leaking on my face ima fuckin drown
Youngest in the town and I'm ya
In the back I was countin these bands up
And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up
In the back I was countin these bands up
And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up
On my bullshit stuck on that fuck shit
Fuck a lame hoe stuck on that fuck shit
Get my hands up but know that I bust it
Cookie smoke bitch you know what I'm puffin
On my bullshit stuck on that fuck shit
Had that bitch in the car we was fucking
She had a man but he ain't say nothin
Sold some blow you can guess that I'm clutchin
Fuck a bitch who always be fussin
Get a bag for my mans like it's nothin
Check us out know you see how I'm coming
To the bands see a youngin be runnin
Ferragamo on me like it's nothing
One day dawg I swear I'll be something
Need a "M" ima make it a hunnid
Need a hunnid ima make it a billion
In the back I was countin these bands up
And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up
In the back I was countin these bands up
And your bitch she be turnin my sound up
Started this then we built from the ground up
Dawg fall then I'm picking my mans up

Fifteen hunnid straight and said turn it to something

I pull up with my guns and will leave you on the ground if you mess with me

One day I'll be somebody important and make something of myself

I need a million dollars and I'll turn it into a hundred million dollars
Need a hunnid ima make it a billion
I need a hundred million dollars and I'll turn it into a billion dollars
