K-K-Kid Ink

I-I-I, I just want it all, money and the cars right

I don't wear a tie, but they say I live a boss life

I just want it all, pullin' a bad bitch, way back then

Thought that we would never have this

Now I just want it all, all, all, all, all, all, yeah

I just want it all, all, all, all, all, all, yeah, yeah

I just want it all, high above the law

Kill 'em so cool you can call me Mr. Frost

Come and find me where the money is, ever feeling lost?

I just wanna ball, so sick of playing toss

I remember back then I had a dream since then

I've been sleep walking all-all-all the ups and downs I was sea-sawing

Only made me strong like steroids

Game time, I just served these niggas like a bell boy

Tell them that it's over, finito

I can make it bump, bump, bump like a mosquito

It's just all in my estilo

And my pockets are the only thing bigger than my ego

I-I, I just want it all, money and the cars right

I don't wear a tie, but they say I live a boss life

I just want it all, pullin' a bad bitch, way back then

Thought that we would never have this

Now I just want it all, all, all, all, all, all, yeah

I just want it all, all, all, all, all, yeah, yeah

I don't wanna stall, I would never leave means

I don't wanna fall (no), no matter the cost (tell 'em)

I-I-I'm all in (in) 'til the coffin

Kush coughing nicer than your conscience

Finally, everywhere you wanna be moving high velocity (yeah)

Driving irresponsibly but I think you should

Come and take a ride see the world through my eyes

Every day is a surprise

So I party like my birthday, LA is my birthplace

First place, west side, loud as a I wanna be

There's sleeping on me, now they are in the fetal

Yeah, I'm neato everything's in tuxedo

I-I-I, I just want it all, money and the cars right

I don't wear a tie, but they say I live a boss life

I just want it all, pullin' a bad bitch, way back then

Thought that we would never have this

Now I just want it all, all, all, all, all, all, yeah

I just want it all, all, all, all, all, yeah, yeah

I just want it all, I-I, I just want it all

I just want it all, it all

I deserve it all, w-we been working hard

You ain't got to give it to me, I'll take it from y'all
