5th album, I'm still fresh
New money, big checks
I'm the prince of the hip hop game
All you other lil' *** stay in lane

I see y'all doin' your thang but y'all ain't this, man
Took me 13 years to get like this, man
In the Bentley G.T, ridin' on rims like the Franchize Boyz
I'm a Franchize Boy

On every magazine, the girls love 'em
*** hate but you can't place no one above 'em
Number one draft pick Young Bow Weezy
I make this whole rap thang look so easy

I make the crowd go crazy like Young Jeezy
50 karats on my chain, man, it's kinda breezy
And I gets cash money like Lil Weezy
Please believe, man, I got Ohio runnin' wit me

Been through a lotta bull *** in the past year
Relationships, couple o' rumors, y'all know how it is
Big say the best 'Mo Money Mo Problems'
The mo' money I made, came mo' problems

After the problems, came mo' drama
Even my own momma said don't trust nobody
I only trust God and I only trust me
I stay to my lonesome, my real low key

be O W W O
W, you just listen to the flow
L be Dub G A N G
I rep that 'til the day I D I E

And man, the press keep on askin' me
Am I gon' hang the mic up at age 19
Naw, I can't now, I'm addicted to the cream
Addicted to the game, I'm addicted to my dream

I'm runnin' over *** like Jerome Bettous
And if I ain't the best *** then what am I
Listen, I ain't really gotta say no mo'
I'm the prince, home boy, act like you know

My life, I got it made
I wanna welcome y'all to 'The Price of Fame'
And everybody know the name
It's Bow Wow, I'm also known as the prince of the rap game

The prince of the rap game
The prince of the rap game
