Mannequin
Ray Vaughn Lyrics

Cashing million dollar checks, but I got top ramen in the microwave
Even though I have a lot of money, I still live humbly and don't indulge in unnecessary luxuries.

Back then it didn't register, and now it's seven figures like a license plate
Earlier, I didn't realize how much money I would make, but now my earnings are in millions; enough to justify their own license plate.

Mama tell me that she proud of me everyday 'cause I ain't throw my life away
My mother is proud of me because I have stayed on the righteous path and not made any bad decisions that would ruin my life.

My environment was in the lion's den
The neighborhood where I lived was tough and dangerous, like being in a den full of lions.

But now my life a movie like Lion's Gate
My life has taken a turn for the better, and it feels like I am living out a movie produced by Lions Gate, a major film production company.

The girl of my dreams was sleeping on a air mattress
The girl I love was going through a tough time and was unable to afford a proper bed, so she slept on an air mattress.

She give fire head, I'm slayin' dragons
She gives great head, and I am so satisfied that it feels like I just slayed a fiery dragon.

I put Daytons on a band wagon
I added Daytons, a type of high-end rim, to a popular trend and the result was embraced greatly.

A delinquent with his pants saggin'
A troublemaker who wears baggy pants that sag below his waist.

Money funny, had my friends laughin'
My friends found it amusing that I was making good money after having been broke for so long.

I'm the living proof it can happen
I am living evidence that one's life can change for the better when they work hard to achieve their goals.

Fuck the IRS 'cause I ain't paying taxes, bitch
I refuse to pay taxes to the IRS and don't feel any remorse about it.

Look, my cousin just got rich off EDD 'cause she finesse
My cousin was able to make a lot of money from the Employment Development Department program by finding a loophole.

It's a crack house 'round the corner, now she using the address
There is a run-down house nearby that my cousin now uses as a fake address to continue receiving benefits from the government.

They put, on the hood 'cause he was easily impressed
They played him because he was too gullible and easily taken advantage of.

See how he walk around with sticks, make people think that he protest
He carries around sticks and acts like he is protesting to create a certain image of himself for people to see.

They took L's before their ego and they dying for they block
They have lost many battles against their enemies and their pride, and stubbornness is causing them to put their own lives on the line for their neighborhood.

All these L's, that's a hand, start to look like three o'clock
With all the losses they have suffered, it's like the hands on the clock pointing to 3 o'clock when they form an 'L' shape.

He killed, gave him life, damn, they tricked him out his spot
He killed someone, and as a result, they took away his life sentence and placed him in a vulnerable position that led to him losing everything he had.

The only reason that he parked 'em, he was goin' through a lot
The only reason he hurt someone was that he was in a tough situation and could not handle the pressure.

I'm a fool for some chicken and some candied yams (ayy)
I love chicken and candied yams so much that I'm willing to act a fool for them.

Keep a tool in the city like a handyman (yeah)
I carry a weapon with me at all times while in the city for protection like a handyman carries tools for work.

Fuck school, all my niggas gettin' ten a gram (bitch)
I don't believe in school, instead, I and my friends make money by selling ten-gram quantities of drugs.

Block boy, see a opp, then it's man to man
I live in a place where if I see a rival, we have to fight one on one.

Block that bitch, she postin' sonograms (yeah)
I don't want to see her posting pictures of her ultrasounds on social media.

I don't wanna see her with that man again (yeah)
I don't want to see her around her ex again.

Ooh, he's a nobody, he's a mannequin (mannequin)
He's not important and does not matter, he is like a mannequin situated in the background.

All I do is win, I'm a champion
I have achieved a lot of success in life and feel like a true champion.

Mama said, "When you get in here, don't touch shit 'Cause you ain't gonna get it"
My mother warned me not to touch anything when we enter someone's place uninvited because we won't be able to keep it.

Mama said, "When you get in here, don't ask me for shit 'Cause you ain't gon' get it, nigga"
My mother reminded me not to ask anyone for anything when we enter their place because we won't be getting anything from them.

You look good when I fuck, I'ma act like the condom broke
I will pretend that the condom broke while having sex with you because you are attractive to me.

Fucking bitches through the boxer hole
I have sex with women while still wearing my boxers.

Make her catch feelings then it's vaminos
I make her fall for me, then leave her abruptly.

I'm a hood nigga playing dominos
I am from the streets, but I am still just playing a game of dominos.

Trapping but I still got honor roll
I am involved in drug dealing, but I still have good grades and academic success.

It's a house party full of hoes, everybody with me gotta pour
This party is full of women and sexual activity, and everyone with me needs to pour something to drink to participate.

The fuck outta my face, nigga (the fuck out my face)
Leave me alone and get out of my face.

No discounts on no eights, nigga
There are no deals when it comes to buying drugs in eight-ball increments.

I'm loked up on tape, nigga
I am recorded and watched by the police, so I am cautious about my every move.

This ain't mansion, it's estate bitch, nigga
This is my impressive and sizeable home, and it's much more than just a mansion.

Calabasas full of hooligans, white folks scared we moving in
A lot of people from a rough background are moving into the affluent Californian city of Calabasas, to the unease of its primarily white residents.

Calling me from the pen', saying shit that he would do again
One of my friends in prison calls me and expresses his desire to do the same reckless things that landed him in jail.

Niggas asking me where I been, I just pulled up in a newer Benz
People want to know where I have been, but I just arrived in my new and improved Mercedes-Benz.

With a bird but I flew her in, and she said her name was
I am with a woman who I brought along, and she just told me her name.

(Why?) bitches know I'm him, I'm the top gun
Women know who I am and view me as a top player.

You ain't the only one who got options (options)
I am not the only one who has the freedom to choose; women have that same privilege.

As far as one of them, I am not one (I am not one)
I am not one of the many options.

If you come into someone's house uninvited, you better not touch their belongings, ask for anything, or even look at anything. If you do, you will face physical punishment and screaming won't protect you.
