[English]

I clearly ain't a bad kid

But try to cage me, we break it

Bum no bigger than the girl nextdoor

Once I’m on stage, we fake it

No white collar, but this one’s something else

When I put mans in their places

Everyone’s eyes follow me

But we ain't even famous

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

Money don’t make friends, only got my fam

Pull up with my M’s and I make the money dance

Funny how it goes but this is how it ends

This is how I live by the name Tarzzan

I ain’t even famous

But when they see me, they say less

And my kit in my whip is the latest

My worth’s counted in billions, now say it with me

Name is “The Greatest Unfamous”

Feel the vibe I give off

When I walk, everyone turns their heads

I be gettin what I need

Those things I’ve got

Think it’s going to my head

Know you lookin’ when I dance

Take a quick pic for your friend

Keep my name in mind

I clearly ain't a bad kid

But try to cage me, we break it

Bum no bigger than the girl nextdoor

Once I’m on stage, we fake it

No white collar, but this one’s something else

When I put mans in their places

Everyone’s eyes follow me

But we ain't even famous

I'm stacking my dollars

My roots grow money trees, cash green color

Can't hide it, the glow says it all

Not even famous but they wanna be us

Same air, but we’re on a different level

Don't ever compare, it's ME and etc.

Doing the same thing but I do it better

Needless to say, I’m a trendsetter

All day I show ‘em, endless stamina

My target’s your head

When I walk, they turn their heads

I be gettin what I need

Those things I’ve got

Think it’s going to my head

Know you lookin’ when I dance

Take a quick pic for your friend

Keep my name in mind

I clearly ain't a bad kid

But try to cage me, we break it

No fear of beasts, I step right up

No hesitation, I just face it

No white collar, but this one’s something else

When I put mans in their places

Everyone’s eyes follow me

But we ain't even famous

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)

Don't you try me I want some more

Don't you play me we on the floor

Don't you try me I want some more

(We ain’t even famous)
