Soulja Boy

Hello, boys, we hit the jackpot this time.

Yo.

Hey hoops.

Yo, yo.

Yo.

Trap out the bando, bad young nigga pull over steel.

We gon' hit by, ain't ask nobody.

Man, we shooting out the roof, better ask no question.

I just come hit. When I'm in the booth, man, don't drive in the heat.

When they make a diss, I'ma get that boy hit.

My diamonds, they hit.

Your bitch get hit.

Nigga, I'ma shoot. I'm a young rich stepper, who the fuck is you?

Pull up on the block, I got the burner with the course pad.

Man, you know what we do. We hit out the real.

Ain't doing no talking, yeah.

Turn that boy just to a ghost like Casper.

Dele mo the euros was one go fast.

I'm all in the club, the perp, you kicking my ass.

I'm blowing on Za Za, you know I got gas.

You snatch your chain, I'm a blast.

Bad ass bitch with a fake ass.

Cooking cocaine, straight glass.

I got no hitters, they blitz, they coming for nothing.

These niggas be snitching, they dropping a dime off a dozen.

Hit, hit, hit, hit.

I got no Hellcat, 15 with the glee.

That's a two minute man, I need it, hit.

Look at the boogie, boogie, diamonds, Cartier wrist.

I came up from trapping and selling them bricks.

Finesse the whole world, you can't have shit.

How the fuck did he go and do this?

Test all my bills at the top of the roof.

Two on the middle, I rock out on rockstar bitch.

Big J, lil' baby, you know I'm on the shit.
