(VERSE 01)
Been a little bumpy down the road
Now I'm on, now n***as can't stop me
Look at how dat watch be, drawing all the attention to the balcony
Told my own jawn I gotta go, because that love shit fucking with my money
Now that n***a on me, see I'm getting bigger, now he claiming that he love me
If I want it, imma get it, if I got it, shit you ain't gotta ask me
Yeah, they was looking back at me, now they looking double when they pass me, like--
Look at how that cash be, like--
Wake up every morning like I'm Gatsby, like--
I been in the jungle where the cats be, like--
I been looking closer, where the rats be?, like--
Money be weighing a couple pounds, watching the kid, and I'm outta town
Snakes in the grass, so I trim it down
Enough that they realize they're fucking clowns
When they peep out the bush they ain't make a sound
So I leave it to God when I come around
And if not, then my n***as they hold it down
And if not, then my n***as they hold it down

(VERSE 02)
I'm making it clear. You're not on my level, man
Not on my level, won't understand
Throw me a stack or a hunnid bands
Melii be charging the cameraman, show him the angles for Benjamins
They never test my intelligence, point out the fake from the genuine
I do this, you actin' all clueless, we ain't going through this again
Act how you act how you see again me when you hang with your friends
I don't want no fake love, that was all I got
Baby, you can't take love, you must have forgot
You just can't come back to me, after you mistreated me
You were quick to leave me, never fought to keep me
Now you in here pleading me, now you see you needed me
I used to warn you, I ain't gonna mourn you, you made me more colder, yeah
