Ah, shit

Here we go again

Yeah, yeah, yeah

...

I'm him, Big 5

Got rich and I still might slide

Bottega pants cost me a dime

Lil' mama so bad, she a dime

Sippin' codeine, she drinkin' wine

Cutthroat, play it cool, play it fine

Told bro the world yours and mines

I'ma stand on biz every time

...

Better know I don't play about mines

Bet he on go, won't stop till he get you

Crop his ass out cause he don't get the picture

My heart cold like a DQ Blizzard

My baby girl know she ain't waitin' till Christmas

Daddy gon' get that shit right now

She got somethin' on the way to her right now

I never been a sucker, can't be one now

Too turned up, can't turn me down

Married to money, no bitch come between

I keep that shit on, so fresh and so clean

That ass 'bout to pop out the back of her jeans

Lil' mama hop on top and make a scene

Yeah, she ready to ride

I'm locked and loaded, suggest you don't try

They say I'm that ****, you know they ain't lying

...

I'm him, Big 5

Got rich and I still might slide

Bottega pants cost me a dime

Lil' mama so bad, she a dime

Sippin' codeine, she drinkin' wine

Cutthroat, play it cool, play it fine

Told bro the world yours and mines

I'ma stand on biz every time

...

I'm him, Big 5

Got rich and I still might slide

Bottega pants cost me a dime

Lil' mama so bad, she a dime

Sippin' codeine, she drinkin' wine

Cutthroat, play it cool, play it fine

Told bro the world yours and mines

I'ma stand on biz every time

...

Yeah, the ****?

Yeah
