[English]

Mic check, check, check, check, check, check

Check, check, check, check

Ooh, where my mic check?

These bitches, they been all at my neck (lil bitch!)

These bitches, all in my call log

You ain't put your team on, you ain't a boss, dog

Can't even let these niggas close

Jealous homies set you up and now you smoke (now you smoke)

You just spent up all the money, now you broke (now you broke)

You been internet flexin' for these hoes (hoes)

Whole lot of friends turned to enemies

Smile in my face and said they proud of me

Now they lookin' at me like I hit the lottery

'Cause I'm rich but bitch, you ain't gotta lie to me

Ooh, I done watched some niggas change up

They hit me for a couple pieces, we don't chain tuck

Too much ice, bust down, I'm still rained up

If some niggas want to try me get your brain fucked

She going to fuck me cuz I'm famous push my picture up

I call Boris that's my driver he going to pick you up

Couple losses but more wins we still racked up

On the road, doing shows I'm so booked up

Nigga be winning so much

They can't wait to see you lose

Can't wait to see you falling

Ooh, kinda had a feeling they was phony

Made my first meal, shit, I was still hungry

Back then all the hoes that was flexin' on me

See me on her TV, now she sexin' on me

Got the Maybach, Bentley, cut the Wraith on 'em

No, for real, they gon' hate on me

And I got your bitch been missin', she gon' wait on me

Told Double X I was straight on it

I'm finally rich I knew that they would hate on me

They ran up in the crib and had the K on me

I was slippin', thank God that I'm livin'

'Cause it all could have been different

Bout to put these stars in my ceiling

'Cause my bitch grippin' from Heaven

Rich Forever, bitch, I'm in it

Get a check then I spend it
