I been gone, lost my mind
Where its at, I don't know
I been smoking I've drinking
Never thinking truth be told
Never really had no friends
Stay walking on a lonely road
But now my pockets bigger now
So I be rolling on my own
People really doubted me
I let my money prove them wrong
I be smoking arm and hammer so
You know my lungs are strong
I been working hard all year
To get my music on yo phone
Now people really fuck with me
But I'm still meant to be alone
Cause I'm the best baby I'm the best
