Soo, soo (woo), woo

Woo (grrt), woo, skrrt (blaow)

And my charm like a crystal ball (crystal)

When I pull up, make a wish

Makin' a, makin' a profit (woo)

Big boy, big boy, yeah, narcotics (narcotics)

Pour me a drink, and it's toxic (drank)

New York drippin', it's straight out the faucet (drip)

Pour me a drink, and it's toxic (drank)

New York drippin', it's straight out the faucet (drip)

N- can't bought it, they cop it (right)

N- be talkin' 'bout slidin' (woo)

I screw the tip and shoot 'em in silence (grrah)

Brand-new coupe, no mileage (woo)

Put a thot on the plot, she bake (plot)

Surprised, it came out a cake (surprised)

I put kids on the eyes of your bae (hey)

He made it to trial and flaked (flaked)

100K, he get whacked off the gate (whacked)

I mix purple codeine by the eight (codeine)

Grabbed the scope, lined him up like a tape (lined him up)

Back to back, Lamborghini replay (back to back)

I fishbowl the coupes, watch 'em hate (coupe)

The guts, it's red, Kool-Aid (guts)

We got sticks, in case you wan' play (grrah)

Whoa, a bigger bankroll than me (whoa), these h- will lose their soul (soul)

Suicide doors and TMZ postin' me (post)

Make them h- take off their clothes (hoes)

I crashed in my woes, they powdered their nose (woes)

They gettin' exposed, they f- the bros

Chauffeur, open the door in the Rolls (Rolls), toast him, bask him in, reload it

Light it up for a 50 ball (50)

Then I spend it on your b-

And my charm like a crystal ball (crystal)

When I pull up, make a wish

Makin' a, makin' a profit, big boy, big boy, yeah, narcotics (narcotics)

Pour me a drink, and it's toxic (drank)

New York drippin', it's straight out the faucet (drip)

Hella rocks in my socks (oh-oh), hella guns in my brief (oh-oh)
