Blowin' money, stay clean
Michael Jackson, Billie Jean

Got a Panamera round a young nigga neck

If I tricked you, know I'm sorry
I be fresh don't need no stylist

My hand like a triple beam
I got workers like machine
All I do is sell dreams
Half my niggas serve fiends
I get up and then I lean

Slang a bunch of narcotics (then what)
Pull up in that new 'Rari (yea)
Living like John Gotti (the mob)
Chopping bricks like karate (chwaaa)
