Down the bottle, still under the limit

I could buy your bitch just off my debit

I could buy her, not fuck up my credit

Ain’t no executives flexin’ my blessings

Give Raf Simons when I’m giftin’

That means sometimes I give it, you know that you want it (Yeah)

Sterling silver lasers (Yessir)

Rubies red, my skin too black to blush

This bitch too rare to bust

Seen her in the iPhone pages

This ain’t on the Gram, Wizard of O-Z

Parka pockets full of med leaf

Guap is smelling like it brush teeth

Say cheese, see the porcelain (Flair)

Xans and water, see swordfish (Plenty)

Backwoods all forestry

Raf draggin’ on the floor, bitch

Flamethrower in it, in it (Flame, flame)

I’m torchin’ the road in these Gucci flames (Heat)

Stuck to the pavement, they glued (Sticky)

I’m two-point-five million a venue

And twenty-five hundred a tooth (True)

I’m coatin’ my lungs in the muddy

I’m cold like I’m sick with the flu (Brr)

I cover my face and I’m bloody (Yeah, brr)

That Spring/Summer 2002, two, two (Two, two)

Yeah, please don’t touch my Raf

Sleep in the grass, Teddy

Sleep with the Teddy

Quick with the hands, ready (Ready)

Please don’t touch my bag

Please don’t touch my Raf

Shirt off, I’m cam ready (Ready)

Deadstock in memory (Memory)

Please don’t pop my tag
