(Grrah)

My chain and my watch are white and rose

Everything is sweet, a candy to see

I didn't come from the countryside, I'm going to take revenge on

Those who got back at me just to mess with you (oh)

Don't believe it? Just pay to see (yeah)

Want a show? Just pay to see (yeah)

Once they tried to trick me

See my body reported on TV

I have mafia connections

No one will ever hold me back

Special conditions

Can't compare, we're not the same

Fiction, on TV, yeah

Will you kill or die? Yeah (grrah)

Ye-yeah, here's the question

Here's the question

Had to stash the whole milli in the ceiling

Need a visa for a girl in Brazil (bitch)

Mob boss, my wrist is like two fifty

Might fly to Brazil and pull out the Bentley

Show love to the kids I'm passing money

Hundreds, fifties make it rain twenties

Overseas girl saying make it rain on me

I was in the trap before I had a chain on me

Watch out for life, man (man, yeah)

Death is already guaranteed, man (man, yeah)

Watch where you step, man (man)

Could be a trap, man (man)

Three in the morning with the MAC in my groin

And I only leave when it's daytime, man

It's like my grandma used to say, man (ye-wo-yeah)

What's the point of living if it's not to be lived?

Put lemon on the wound

Bad things become news

No space for those who slip up

Things can't get more serious

I have mafia connections

No one will ever hold me back

Special conditions

Can't compare, we're not the same

Fiction, on TV, yeah

Will you kill or die? Yeah (grrah)

Ye-yeah, here's the question (yeah, yeah)

Here's the question (yeah, yeah)

(Mob Ties, mob ties)

Just for rack, my niggas they getting you wet

(Mob ties, mob ties)

I feel like Al Capone, Big Meech

Real so they give me love in the streets

Like the way that she feels (way she feels)

Took her home from Brazil (home from Brazil)

Mayweather its hand like a pro boxer (pro boxer)

Kick her out the crib like I play soccer

Freaky little girl likes to play doctor

Mama walked in my room saw a real chopper

We got big guns like the mafia (mafia)

When you're getting to the money

Ain't no stopping you (stopping you)

They call me the kid like a toddler (toddler)

Bulletproof car like a mobster (mobster)

I have mafia connections

No one will ever hold me back

Special conditions

Can't compare, we're not the same

Fiction, on TV, yeah

Will you kill or die? Yeah (grrah)

Ye-yeah, here's the question

Watch out for life, man

No one will ever hold me back

Special conditions

Can't compare, we're not the same

Fiction, on TV, yeah
