I told em I need al the sums
The paper make bitches go dumb
You know how a young N***a come
Walk in the party like

You know that it's only right
I know niggas that only move through the night
Red light if you stop
Ain't no thinking twice
We gon' put you to bed like a lullabye
Let you know that it's us we don't do disguise
Don't do federales but they know the guys
I been chasing the paper like all my life
Made some sacrifices
Lost a couple n****s
I was in the trenches
With the killer killers
Seen my daddy be the biggest boss in the hood
Now his baby boy a young killer killer
If I ever go broke
Ima do whatever
These really my brothers go down together
It was me and Xtndo we kept em silent
I can't fall for no b***h
Cause these hoes got mileage

And you save those thats a shame bro
And you protect those individuals, which is disgraceful, my friend

With the same friends since I first arrived, my friend
If i change those I'll be lameo
If I alter those connections, I will be uncool or unimpressive
Never will and better yet we gon do it together
I will never abandon my friends, and furthermore, we will accomplish our goals as a team
Run to the paper and stack it however
Hasten towards the money and accumulate it in any manner
Run to the paper and stack it forever
Rapidly pursue money and amass it indefinitely
