[Verse 1: Westside Gunn]
Woah
Had a hundred shots but it only took five to make that nigga fold
Hit twice up close, make sure he dead and sped off in a Rolls
Pleading, "Please don't kill me" (Don't kill me)
Both headshot, nigga, what's your dealy? (What's your dealy?)
My shooter got a big bag, he from Philly (He from Philly)
In the projects but my neck in half a milli
[Chorus: RMR]
Had to go and get it, my mama stuck on welfare
Need the new Mercedes, I need a bitch like Offset
Windows tinted, you can't see me now
Your girl on me, you can ask her how
Condo in the city, I moved up out the trap spot
Baguettes from Eliantte, nigga, these is diamonds
Money tall, just like the Eiffel Tower
Too much flexin', I cannot slow down
[Post-Chorus: RMR]
Trips to overseas, got bitches in Belize
Went from foldin' grams to playin' 'round with keys
Caramel complexion, that's some big ol' titties
Mad that I won't plug from niggas turning greedy
[Chorus: RMR]
Had to go and get it, my mama stuck on welfare
Need the new Mercedes, I need a bitch like Offset
Windows tinted, you can't see me now
Your girl on me, you can ask her how
Condo in the city, I moved up out the trap spot
Baguettes from Eliantte, nigga, these is diamonds
Money tall, just like the Eiffel Tower
Too much flexin', I cannot slow down
[Verse 2: RMR]
Adios to my ho'
Life that came with a struggle and
Kept it to myself and promised that a nigga always win
I know they hatin' say they love me but it's all pretend
On my positions check, not checkers we can make amends
See me lit, see me flex, from the concrete grew a rose
Spittin like I'm fighting demons, nigga, you can't have my soul
The darkest corners of the earth and I'll glow
The darkest corners of the earth and I'll glow
[Chorus: RMR]
Had to go and get it, my mama stuck on welfare
Need the new Mercedes, I need a bitch like Offset
Windows tinted, you can't see me now
Your girl on me, you can ask her how
Condo in the city, I moved up out the trap spot
Baguettes from Eliantte, nigga, these is diamonds
Money tall, just like the Eiffel Tower
Too much flexin', I cannot slow down
Had to go and get it, my mama stuck on welfare
Need the new Mercedes, I need a bitch like Offset
Windows tinted, you can't see me now
Your girl on me, you can ask her how
Condo in the city, I moved up out the trap spot
Baguettes from Eliantte, nigga, these is diamonds
Money tall, just like the Eiffel Tower
Too much flexin', I cannot slow down
