Okay so up and up and up I go
Hope the building ain't got ceilings
I told my bitch to fill her pockets if we talkin' feelings
The money talk don't really move me 'less we talkin' millions
I'm tryna get my people rich as me let's make a killin
Now it's a murder oh my god I caught a body
I'ma La Di Da Di get it poppin' like a lolli
That lil' bitch is for the streets they treat her like a trolley

You a stupid nigga cuffin' talkin' bout you poly
I don't chase I let em' choose baby girl what it do
If you got yo' shit together surely we can bust a move
I'm money in the bank highly ranked I ain't fungible
Shawty said that she a snack I ate her like a Lunchable

Rockin' and I'm rollin'
They can't stop the motion
If anything get in my way
Then that's when I'm explosive
Rockin' and I'm rollin'
They can't stop the motion
If anything get in my way
That's when I get explosive

My granny said the world was mine so I reach up and touch the sky
They used to think my head was in the clouds but now I'm just as high
They say that the vengeance for the Lord but the justice mine
Even though I'm always late regardless I'm just on time
You see me comin' up raisin' all my numbers up
I need bigger bills cause I'm blazin' through these hundreds bruh
My ego is monstrous therefore I cannot be humbled hun
You won't get a shot up out yo' chamber if I jump the gun
One-on-one ain't even fair you better go get yo' friends
I ain't bothered stuntin' nothin' I'm more focus on my ends
I'm the one who set em' baby I ain't gotta follow trends
I let go of all my woes I don't keep shit bottled in

Rockin' and I'm rollin'
They can't stop the motion
If anything get in my way
Then that's when I'm explosive
Rockin' and I'm rollin'
They can't stop the motion

If anything get in my way
That's when I get explosive
