Ten gold chains, wood grain, propane
Sell a whole thang from the cellphone rang

All my young niggas know that they could always
Call me, call me, call me

Call me, call me, call me
If-if-if you see me trouble, bitch

24 years old worth a couple million
Shouts out to my cuz niggas
Finna let it fly for my blood niggas
Middle finger up to you fuck niggas
If you a trill nigga then fuck with us
Nigga dash like a speed of a bullet
With a pistol on him, probably wouldn’t even pull it
Heart made of pudding
Meanmuggin’ with a hoodie

Tryin’ to be the motherfucker that you couldn’t knowin’ you
Down to let it fly when I shouldn’t
All my young niggas, they gon’ rep it to the fullest
Tell a fucknigga, “Be you”
Fuck tough, be cool

For a nigga like me, young nigga like me (They let it fly)

Niggas got rips in they jeans, man, I started that

Niggas claim they the God of black
Well your name is purple, I’m the God of that
Gave you my back, nigga, pardon that
Fuck that shit, I brought mobbin’ back

Motherfuck Black Land, I brought Harlem back
Rollin’ in my Benzo
Hoes on the curb, a couple of friends
Rollin’ down my windows
Yo, what’s the word? Fuck it, get in
And ride ’round with these bimbos
She gave head to my kinfolk
Shout outs my connect though
Keep a watch out for them Winslows
‘Cause the boys’ gon’ creep, D-boys gon’ serve
Hoes gon’ skeet and the V gone swerve
I’ma get by while the world gon’ turn
I’ma get mine like you gon’ get yours
Niggas do the least when the piece got nerve
Niggas in the streets when the heat got burned
I’ll tell a nigga, “Be you”
Fuck tough, be cool
Couple young niggas down with my crew who be down to let it fly
For a nigga like me, young nigga like me (They let it fly)
