Kush rolled, glass full, I prefer the better things
Niggas with no money act like money isn't everything
I'm having a good time haters tryna ruin it,
Shout out to the fact that I'm the youngest nigga doin' it
Cap on, brim bent, Denzel, Larry time
She ain't trying to pop that shit for pimp okay well never mind,

Bracelet saying you should quit, cars saying f*ck ya life
Okay now we outta here
Toodles to you bitches
And if you dolled up
I got the voodoo for you bitches, yeah
I'm busy getting rich, I don't want trouble
I made enough for two niggas boy stunt double
Fame is like a drug that I've taken too much of
But I never ever trip
Just peace happiness and love

Plus the game is in my pocket, nigga this is what I does, ah!

I'm a bad bitch I ain't never been a mixed breed.
I'm on a diet but I'm doing donuts in a six speed

But I collect 100 thou at the venue
And pop bottles with the team young money til the death of me
