Everybody wanna go and smash Kim K (Ooh, yeah)

You can talk shit about me everyday (Day)

But I'm still rich at the end of the day

I take drugs like it's vitamin C

I'm a millionaire but I don't know how to read (Nope)

I'm a role model that these kids wanna be (Ooh)

I just smashed a pregnant bitch that's overseas (Yeah)

Walk around with my side bitch on a leash (Leash)

Everybody wanna be like Tune

Grow up to be like Tune, throw up the B like Tune

No one can be like Tune, know why? 'Cause he tycoon

And if the shoe fits, wear it, I can't if these not new

Lil' nigga, please, y'all my mini-mes

But the kid is not my son, shout out Billie Jean

You followin' my lead, my chopper isn't clean

And Lil Pump, he got the pump, I got the M-16

My pockets stuffy

They gon' need some antihistamine

Niggas always bit the stee

The bitches never bit the D

I'm pullin' out the facts, so tell your slime relax

And she a catfish and he a copycat

What the fuck, though? Well, if you must know

I see these look-a-likes, it's kinda sus though, yerr

Young nigga from them hood with a plan

One foot in the street, one foot in the sand

One foot in the cleats, one foot in the Vans

One foot in your ass, one fourth of a Xan

Follow my footsteps, I give you instructions

Swallow, don't belch, you just drunk quintuplets

On my one-of-one shit, I keep it a hundred

Boy, I talk my shit

Then wipe my shit with hundreds

You can't stunt like me, rich as fuck like me

Lil' black ass nappy head nigga

Let me shout out India.Arie, and ain't none like me

Mr. Dwayne Carter, only got one ID, yerr

I know that's right, you don't know that life

Stay in your own lane or make me bowl that strike, yerr

Everybody wanna be like me

But there's only one I in my e-y-e (Yeah)

Yeah

Everybody wanna be like me (Ooh, yeah)

Everybody wanna be like me (Huh?)

Everybody wanna be like me

Bust down, big chains and dress fancy (Ooh)

Everybody wanna be like me

Spent 2k last week on a white tee

(Ooh, on a white tee)

Everybody wanna be like me

Dropped 10k on my Gucci

Bedsheets this week (Ooh, yeah)

Everybody wanna be like me (Ooh, yeah)

Everybody wanna be like me

Everybody wanna be like me (Ooh, yeah)

Everybody wanna be like me

Everybody wanna be like me

Everybody wanna be like me (Ooh)

Bust down, big chains and dress fancy (Yeah, ooh)
