Look at me now, I’m a geek pull up suckin' D

You can’t talk that shit if you broke

Yeah, I know a lot of y'all mad
I am aware that many people are envious and angry towards me
Lot of y'all going out bad
Unfortunately, many of you are experiencing negative outcomes
Are you mad I got these racks
Are you upset because I possess a significant amount of wealth
Are you mad I got this swag?
Are you frustrated because I exude a strong sense of style and confidence?
I’m in Neiman's, I'm popping these tags
