I got the baddest bitches waiting on a nigga
I got these pussy niggas hating on a nigga
Since they wanna talk, I went and bought another chain
Forty cars, I gotta put 'em in my mama name
Heli-pad on my crib, my money outta here
Love my daughter to death, ten karats in her ear
Heavy ammunition for you fuck boys
Heavy ammunition for you fuck boys
I'm getting paid, I put that on my daddy grave
Got two hundred thousand in my Chevrolet
I'm the king of diamonds, my chain still speaking Ebonics
If she selling that pussy, bring it lil' baby, I got it
Drop a chicken in the grease and make one into two
All these rides in my yard, my shit a carnival
I got a plug, he a O'ye
So show me love, it's only one Rozay
Rozay (ugh)

You gotta separate yourself from fuck boys
Can't even drop your top, because your ass so paranoid

Hoe, you better take notes, I spent ten on the paint
Waving at these bitches, and I know these niggas hoe-ish
Take your bitch to get lemon pepper in a new Lotus
I'm so rich, I mean I'm so rich
If it's less than ten stacks, to me it's hoe shit

Gotta run your credit just to bring my name up
