Yeah, Banx & Ranx

I'm not cool, ****** up on my school days

I skipped class, drop-out since the 7th grade

Those fools, lookin’ at me sideways

No clue, I could get it my way

I was faded in the daylight

Elevated up in cloud nine

I don't need no one to get by

If you wanna judge me that's fine

’Cause I'm all lit up in my mind

Yeah, I'm headed for the good life

Feelin' like a baller

Gucci Rock 'n' Rolla

Never gettin' older

I'm a Gucci Rock ’n’ Rolla

Gucci Rock ’n’ Rolla

Gucci Rock ’n’ Rolla

In the club one time (Yeah)

I'm just really tryna feel the love one time (Yeah)

Everybody tryna be Judge Joe Brown (Why?)

Let me do me, would you be so kind? (Please)

Whoah-oh, me oh my (My)

Been big list since 305 (Five)

Your vibe whack like TSA (Why?)

Crashin’ the scene like CSI

And baby, don't come at me crazy

'Cause I live my life like however I like, like

I was rich as Jay-Z or Rick Rubin

Who's mad who ain’t point proven

Self drive Tesla I'm cruisin'

Time to bring those oh-ooh's in

Feelin' like a baller

Gucci Rock 'n' Rolla

Never gettin' older

I'm a Gucci Rock 'n' Rolla

Gucci Rock ’n’ Rolla

Gucci Rock ’n’ Rolla

I was faded in the daylight

Elevated up in cloud nine

I don't need no one to get by

If you wanna judge me that's fine

’Cause I'm all lit up in my mind

Yeah, I'm headed for the good life

Feelin' like a baller

Gucci Rock 'n' Rolla

Never gettin' older

I'm a Gucci Rock 'n' Rolla
