But y’all know, y’all know
Ima always push it strong for my city
Maybe one day we could all get along in my city
Thinking bout all the money that belong in my city

I been known to lick a pussy sweet like vanilla
Tryna take some trips overseas in the winter
Tryna make that Michael Jackson money, Billie Jean Thriller

Attending lil dinners wit a thick gold digga
If you catch me slippin' then you better pull the trigger
Cause yes I fucked yo bitch also Valley boy hit her we so selfish

I may be rocking skinnies but I keep the pistol with me ooh, yeah
Valley boy really ‘bout business

Catch me in the projects, I’m good I ain’t trippin'
Shout out all my people that’s section 8 living hey, okay

Selfish with my money, selfish what I put my dick in
Had to break up with the bitch, she forgot my biscuit
She got it all twisted, I like rooster on my chicken, ooh

Had to erase the evidence from the convo
It ain’t hard to catch a case, everybody 5-0, yeah

The emphasis on being "selfish" with their money, relationships, and choices suggests a survival mentality and a willingness to put themselves first, even if it means breaking off relationships or taking risks.
