[English]

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now (right now, right now).

I know you're seeing me right now (right now).

I know you're seeing me right now.

I've got my suit and tie, and I don't know if you all know.

Well, maybe you do, or maybe you don't.

But I really don't care (yeah).

Because we're on it all the time (uh).

So I'm gonna get my money, let's go.

Now I need you to end the hypocrisy; this is an aristocracy.

I'm Socrates, but my skin is more chocolatey.

"What's up, woo?" That's old news.

I'm in a speedboat, wearing boat shoes.

Huh?

I swear my whole collection is so smooth.

I might walk into Nobu barefoot.

He walked into Nobu like it was Whole Foods.

That guy is crazy, I told you.

Immature, insecure adult asshole (what else).

If you fall on the concrete, that's your asphalt.

If you pass out on that Kane beat, that's your last thought.

You get what you ask for; I swear that's your last thought.

She has a big booty, but she couldn't drop it low.

So you take your last girl and tie up all the cash flow.

When you're making money, they all cling to you.

When you're making money, cuts don't matter because a black guy passed away.

Straight to jail, yo, in a hellhole.

Right next to Lucifer, tell him I said hello.

Ask if I'll be there soon, and tell him I said hell no.

Yo, what do you say when your people get out of jail, huh?

My homies are home, I guess I have everything.

Everything I want, but I don't.

No matter how good things get, they'll never be like before.

No women in the crowd, screaming, and it's loud.

Doing things that aren't allowed.

And I swear it's going down right now.

I know one thing: my mom would be proud.

And you see me looking up.

Because I know she's looking down right now.

(Charlie Wilson - Chorus)

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now (right now, right now).

I know you're seeing me right now (right now).

I know you're seeing me right now.

Poured the champagne, let your watch show.

Girl's got a man's watch, her wrist looks massive.

I admit my first watch was a relic.

Now I'm at the Louvre looking for fossils.

The attention to detail is uncanny.

And the whips here are so immaculate.

Someone needs to put us on camera.

The world of Rolls and everyone's family.

Staying fresh in Jordan suits and Ferrari coupes.

Girl, watching Barneys? We own Barneys.

End up at 'Mani Giorgi' with service from Sergio Pacini.

Lamborghini, the chain blows off the vertigo.

I know the flow just hit a super high vertical.

This is the Chris year, last year was magical 32.

Lyrically, none of you can kill Ye.

Because your raps don't have any backbone.

I've got style; ask Julie, she heard it in May.

I killed the fur last, Paris raised the murder rate.

First of all, we all know the beat is

Like a mix between Fergie and Jeez.

Imagine the direction of this immaculate conception.

Every one of His Majesty's swim parties is a pageantry.

A cannonball off the diving board when I'm bored.

All my homies are GDs, but I am a lord.

Rap god, Greek mythology.

And this life is too crazy to think logically.

Here's something you can use as an analogy.

My life is like a child's solutions becoming reality.

Now go claim my throne, because I don't want to stop.

I just enter my zone and I'm going to make it hot.

Until it's time to go, when it's time to go.

Where are you trying to go? You better act like you can see me now.

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now.

I know you're seeing me right now (right now, right now).

I know you're seeing me right now (right now).

I know you're seeing me right now.
