🎵(Mello made it right!)🎵

🎵Nigga, I down bad, now I’m on a jet for real🎵

🎵Got all this ice on me, baby, told my Patek to chill🎵

Sippin’ on this codeine, my baddest b*tch is on X pill🎵

🎵I want a couple million without a record deal🎵

🎵Got 25 thousand on me,🎵

🎵when I've been ridin' in a Phantom🎵

🎵Got all designer on me,🎵

🎵bitch, I’m so fly it don’t matter🎵

🎵I wanted to feel the V12 when I was ridin' in Atlanta🎵

🎵I got three b*tches with me,🎵

🎵they want the baguettes on their neck🎵

🎵Bitch, I was made inside the projects,🎵

🎵I got Crip on my set🎵

🎵Nigga, I was really on the floor, then I woke up in a jet🎵

🎵Ain't never had to dodge no n****,🎵

🎵I just might cop Demon🎵

I’m shoppin’ at Neiman’s, ballin’ every season🎵

🎵Feelin’ like I’m dreamin’, shinin’ every weekend🎵

🎵 All they know is that I was broke, 🎵

🎵 then I got a brand new coupe 🎵

🎵 Louis V’s on my shoes, 🎵

🎵 f**kin’ all my bitches by the twos🎵

🎵First time in V12, she was hangin' out the roof🎵

🎵My VVs ice cream, I ain’t even have to scoop🎵

🎵She just popped an X pill, 🎵

🎵 wanna see how the ‘Vette feel. 🎵

🎵Fiji on my Rollie make him 🎵

🎵 wanna have some s*x for real. 🎵

🎵Tennis chain, my neck on chill, 🎵

🎵 I ain’t have to go get no deal. 🎵

🎵Last month I spent a hundred thousand on the closet🎵

🎵I bought the penthouse just to handle ménages🎵

🎵Got the new crib, my n**** fresh out, he kept it solid🎵

🎵20 bands on me, can’t even fit inside the wallet🎵

🎵B*tch, I’m ballin’, 13 on me like I was Harden, yeah🎵

🎵N****s know Ricchy, I’m lit, 🎵

🎵 might take my ride through the 6. 🎵

🎵I’ve been mixin’ my designers, 🎵

🎵 n****, I’m fly as a b*tch! 🎵

🎵I just talk about my lifestyle, I don’t write this sh*t🎵

🎵Ever since that jail cell opened up, 🎵

🎵 I let these diamonds hit. 🎵

🎵Nigga, I was down bad, now I’m on a jet for real🎵

🎵Got all this ice on me, baby, told my Patek to chill🎵

🎵Sippin’ on this codeine, my baddest b*tch is on X pill🎵

🎵I want a couple million without a record deal🎵

🎵Got 25 thousand on me, 🎵

🎵 when I’ve been ridin’ in a Phantom. 🎵
