And imma just stay in my lane
Aint got alot to lose

I can walk out of a store with $100,000 in cash and not even blink an eye
You can tell how I want
I'm living life on my own terms and doing what makes me happy
I ball like a dog

Horsing at the red light
I'm showing off my expensive car at a red light
On chrome drop top candy red type
My convertible car is shiny and eye-catching
Four fifty four nigga want better bring it home
My car has a powerful 454 engine, and anyone who wants to race me better bring their best game

No right now what's ya tell em go get boy

And lights out
If you continue to annoy me, I'll take care of you
And nigga I ain't playing with ya
I'm not joking around, I'm serious about protecting my success
Come any day I'll hit ya
If you cross me, I'm not afraid to fight back
My bread stack high like mike in NBA highlights
I have a lot of money like Michael Jordan did in his NBA highlights
Man just means jacuzzi bubbling with sky lights
My wealth means I can have a luxurious Jacuzzi with sky lights
Smoke cool L jueal kill a niggas eye sight
I smoke expensive cigars that can hurt someone's eyesight
Wal mart stops in eight seven like damn right
I've been rich since the late 80s, and it feels great
My wrist stay glistening
I wear expensive jewelry that always glimmers in the light
Two birds kissing
My jewelry is so expensive that two diamonds look like they're kissing
I'm sick of all this money somebody call a physician in
I have so much money that it's making me sick, like a medical condition
The American dream I'm with niggas is visioning
I'm living the American dream that many people aspire to
You clowns ain't making it rain it's just drizzling
You guys aren't making enough money to really enjoy it, it's just a small amount
Acting like I ain't paid what you talking bout
Don't try to deny the fact that I'm wealthy, it's obvious to everyone
I throw a party at the bank walk a million out
I have so much money that I can take out a million dollars in cash from the bank
Got over thirty movies what you think you doing to me
I've been in over 30 movies, what could you possibly say or do to bring me down?
You sold a couple records how you think you gon' do me
You might have some success in music, but it's nowhere near what I've achieved
You know I'm in shape I slap you you gon' try and sue me
I'm physically fit and could easily defend myself, but you'll probably try to sue me if I hit you
I buy you off slide off with your lil cutie
I could easily pay you off and steal your girlfriend
All the money is a god damn new sense
Money gives me a new sense of purpose and meaning in life
Look at my career yeah I'm the blueprint
I'm the perfect example of how to achieve success and wealth, look at my career and learn from it
[Chorus]
This is the chorus section of the song, repeating the main idea of the lyrics
