[ chorus ] I hop into the hot tub To lay back and relax and get a scrub and a back rub Sippin on some wine The view is dope, you see the Manhattan skyline I got it made in the game No stress, no worries, the only pain is the champagne Put on the silk bathrobe I liveth the life, plus I been around the globe Throw on a Barry white tape While girls file my fingernails and feed me grapes Step on a paddy-o and look at the city No need to look for a girl, I got three right here with me I'm gettin paid all at once And I got money in jackets I didn't wear in five months Nothin come up but fast bread And I be countin it all while I'm layin in a brass bed I got a maid and a chauffeur Girls comin over, sit on a plush leather sofa I got a smile on my face Bank accounts and chase group signings inside my pillow case Now I'm livin kinda fat Cause I came from the street and made a g with a rap Now you know what my name is G rap livin the lifestyles of the rich and the famous [ chorus ] (I'm representin, puttin queens on the map) --> mr. cheeks G rap livin the lifestyles of the rich and the famous (I'm representin, puttin queens on the map) (playin big willie style with the chauffeur Yaknawmean?) --> junior m.a.f.i.a. [ verse 2 ] Lookin tv, which one you want to watch, gee? Cause I got sony, jvc, magnumvox and hitachi See high prices are little to me My suits are suede, plus robes are made in italy Spendin money like water Rich men across the border offer me their daughter And I'm never in a slump Cause my big pockets got more lumps than donald trump's Pretty women in my face, see Took Gayle to Bloomingdale's and met Tracy at Macy's Suckin on money like a vacume Never got it hard, cause I got credit cards that are platinum Not to mention the gold visa Got a safe in the wall behind paintings of Mona Lisa Chandeliers in the hall Ten stuffed deer heads are on my living room wall More bills than Stills & Nash I like to flash, cause I got more stash than johnny cash Gold faucets on my sinks Inside of my bedroom I got at least 20 fish tanks I got power, and I'm known See, I can call the president up straight on that red phone So now you know what my game is It's the lifestyles of the rich and the famous [ verse 3 ] I get the opposite sex Cause while I write out checks, diamonds are shinin in my rolex My clout is outrageous I'm on the phone with the owners of casinos in las vegas Lookin heavy every day I wear a pair of shoes once, and I'm throwin em away Everything is like a breeze I hired mp's just to guard all my ki's Girls throwin lilies in my path I got a yacht that makes the love boat look like a life raft Mega-mega-mega-bucks To make a deposit, I gotta call up armored trucks Smilin while I'm stylin I gave a girl her first lesson in sex on the virgin islands Cause I'm the real money maker More bread than a baker, the dead-president undertaker A young brother gettin notes I flew to london for the fog, just because I had the coat So much money to spill Whoever's not in my will might even get a mill You want a car? that's miniature No cash, don't sweat it, because my credit is my signature My name should be amos Cause I'm livin the lifestyle of the rich and the famous
