Ooh, brrr
Kept me 'round with the same teams (same teams)
And we all got the same dream (same dream)
Diamonds wet like ice cream
Hit it hard, make a girl scream
Young nigga livin' a dream (dream)
Feel like Belly 'cause I'm gettin' cream (100 bands or a kilo, nigga)
Cash rules motherfuckin' everything
Ayy, ayy, me and you ain't the same
We in a different lane (we in a different lane)
Uh uh uh, you a fool for even trying to compete with me
Uh, shit I'm doin' you would think it was make believe (for real)
Ayy, hit her once, late night, then I made her leave
Ay, don't forget your purse, girl, don't forget your keys
Uh, I'm so high right now, I look Japanese
Ayy, if you ain't speakin' facts I don't wanna converse
'Cause, uh
You know that God come first
