Eating crab, watching bitches shake shit all night
I make the big moves (big moves), do the big things (big things)
Take small groups, turn them into big names
The big dog with the big chain, frostbit bracelet to match
Cats say I'm the shit, man (yeah)
The type of nigga that you need in yo' crew
Type of dude that will do shit you won't do, can't do
Get more burn than a candle
Too hot to hold, too much to handle

Now that's what the f*ck I call a chain reaction (whoa)
Went from wholesome to Jigga, you awe-some (uh)
Baby, I don't play all my jewelry is light grey (haha)

What's down is a bet, roll the dice

So what you went gold and rock a Rollie with the ice bezel?
It's gon' take a lot mo' to see my level (uh-huh)
Where I'm at, your check, you better double that (double that)
And personally your raps is where the trouble at
I'm a Benz bubble cat, leather with the wood grain
In the platinum frame, screamin' 'It's not a game'
Gleamin', from ear to ear, wrist to wrist, ring and chain
Even me and Jay-Z got it locked, crazy (haha)
