Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Rock the boat like a one-eyed pirate

Rick James, I get glitter on my eyelids

2:00 a.m., 85 on the highway

Whole world get a little misguided

Where the spotlight? Put me in the spotlight

Trust no one that put you in the wrong light

High scream when I hit her with the long pipe

Mmm, ice cream when I hit her with the sweet thang

Do my thing, no, I do not do speakin'

Get my shot, point it out like Ruth, man

I'ma win a bitch and I got a mood swing

I'm the realest bitch, now I got a mood swing

I got bipolar confidence

Wake up like, "Shit", then I feel like the shit

So I guess I'm the shit

Yeah, I guess I'm the shit

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Grab life by the horns when I whip the Lambo'

Black on red like I whip the sambo

Clip's so long, it'll make you mambo

Watch you tango, dutty wine

She grind on my dick like a hundred times

Shawty love me long when I grip her sides

And slip inside like a Slip 'N Slide

My electric eel do electric slide, but-

I just wanna feel the booty!

All on me, all on me, all on me

Make it slow clap like Rudy!

All on me, all on me, all on me

I just wanna feel on your booty

Grab the camcorder, we can make it a movie

Bring a friend with you if you like how I do it

Gold chain swingin' and she like how I shoot it

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Damn, damn, I'm frosty

Blood diamond, I'm flossin'

Navy camo, I'm drownin'

But you don't see what it cost me

Turmoil like the Saudi's

Hand-me-downs never fit me

Party never fit me

Punani never fit me

Damn, time-travelin'

Honda-swervin', that's so Merlyn

That's so Merlyn

That's so Merlyn, that's so Merlyn

Damn, time-travelin'

Honda-swervin', book learnin'

That's so Merlyn

That's so Merlyn, that's so Merlyn

Swan dive down the 405

Land at the bottom of El Toro High

With the precision of a cut from a Zorro knife

The boy spit like he made out of 409

So that's clean, bitch

You can't play with my team, bitch

We rock pink now on Wednesdays

Green looks good with your envy

Mix with white 'cause you salty, but this stainless

I'm like platinum and it's painless

I just skip on the beat like I'm Pee-Wee Herman

Hands up for all my sermons

My wheel's turnin', now I'm more efficient than ever

I feel like Ratatouille when I'm whippin' that cheddar

You see, you better find your thickest of sweaters

'Cause this ice might fuck around and change your whole life

'Cause we about to take flight

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

(Keep a gold chain) keep a gold chain on my neck

Fly as a jet, boy, better treat me with respect

Keep a gold chain (fly, fly as a jet)

I keep a gold chain (fly, fly as a jet)

Keep a gold chain (I said I keep a, gold chain)

Keep a gold chain (I keep a gold chain)

Keep a gold chain ('cause then I keep a-)

(I said I keep a-, gold chain, a gold chain)

Keep a gold chain (I said I keep a, I keep a-)

I keep a gold chain (fly, fly as a jet)
