[English]

Raise a cup up for all my day ones

Two middle fingers for the haters

Life's only getting greater

Straight up from nothing we go

Higher than the highest skyscraper

No Little League, we major

The proof is in the paper

We put the good in the good in the good life

We put the good in the good in the good life

We put the bad in the past, now we alright (Eazy)

Hey, ayy, ayeh (Kehlani, I got you) ayy, ayy

Yeah, and it's a feeling that I can't explain

How you make it and your team still stay the same

Stay down from the jump and they never change

Man, this a moment I could never trade, yeah

I told my moms not to stress no more

Go hit the Bentley store

And no credit card debts no more (I love you mom)

I bought the crib and it's in escrow now

So, you don't ever have to worry about how you gon' pay rent no more

I put my team in position, now they makin' a killin'

Stackin' blue faces straight to the ceiling

Out in Vegas I'm with 'em

Ordering bottles of that Ace when they sit 'em

'Til there ain't enough space up on the table to fit 'em

Go ahead and...

Raise a cup up for all my day ones

Two middle fingers for the haters

Life's only getting greater

Straight up from nothing we go

Higher than the highest skyscraper

No Little League, we major

The proof is in the paper

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (the good life)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (I said the good life)

We put the bad in the past, now we alright (we alright)

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy (yeah), ayy (uh)

Pour some Clicquot in the glass, have a toast to success

No looking back from here, no more being broke and distressed

I put my heart into this game like I opened my chest

We only pray for more M's while you hope for the best

We make these plays, man I'm finessin' these checks

Times up for everybody, I'm collecting on debts

And I swear this champagne just tastes better on jets

I'm just out here being great, man, this is as real as it gets

I put my team in position, now they makin' a killin'

Stackin' blue faces straight to the ceiling

Out in Vegas I'm with 'em

Ordering bottles of that Ace when they sit 'em

'Til there ain't enough space up on the table to fit 'em

Go ahead and...

Raise a cup up for all my day ones

Two middle fingers for the haters

Life's only getting greater (yeah)

Straight up from nothing we go (go up)

Higher than the highest skyscraper

No Little League, we major (yeah)

The proof is in the paper (you know)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (the good life)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (I said the good life)

We put the bad in the past, now we alright (we alright)

Hey, ayy, ayeh, ayy, ayy

Damn right, from the bottom we rise

So high, now we cover sky lights

We're building an empire

We owe it all to each other

Just look at us right now, destined

We're so good right now, legend

Here's to you and I

Raise 'em to the sky (yeah)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life

We put the good in, the good in, the good life

We put the bad in the past, now we alright

Hey, ayy, ayeh, ayy (yeah-yeah-yeah, you know, uh)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (the good life)

We put the good in, the good in, the good life (I said the good life)

We put the bad in the past, now we alright (we alright)

Ayy (yeah), ayy (yeah), ayy (yeah), ayy, (yeah) ayy (uh)

Uh, the good life
