Ay, these niggas basic like food with no season'
I'm a hot boy, but my diamonds be freezin'
We not the same, we could never be even
I'm chasin' money, but you chasin' cleavage
Look at my face, you can tell I'm a demon (demon, bih)
Ooh, I'm not finna work with you, nigga stop dreamin'

Look at that boy through the peephole, who
You savin' hoes like a hero, but never me
She know that I keep the cheat code, ooh
Ice on my neck cost a kilo, ooh

Freeze you up like I'm Sub-Zero, ooh (bih, pew, pew)
I'm the one started the water shit, ooh
I'm the one dropped out of college for rappin'
When I coulda' been a biologist, ooh
Told myself, "Go get the bag and then dip"
So I did 'cause these niggas be copyin', ooh
These niggas music be moderate, ooh
I'ma ball out with no scholarship, ooh
Ay, these niggas basic like food with no season'
I'm a hot boy, but my diamonds be freezin'
We not the same, we could never be even
