[Verse 1]
I'm trying to be retired 'fore I'm 35
Word to Chris, I ain't trying to work to stay alive
I'm tryna shine, nigga, gimme mine
('Til I cop the Lex matching the 'lex, yo)
One for the money, two for them niggas hitting licks
Survival of fit is to live with no fear
Smoking potent straight from Oakland while I'm bumping Saafir
95's coincide with the gear, I'm coordinated
Witness greatness like a coronation
I'm celebrated like a college student graduating
A big deal, I stacked & I chill, play the game of mellow like Apollo or Pill
Only see me when I'm booked on a bill
Shit, you know promoters fronting them bills
Niggas know that I'm ill, unequivocal, capabilities critical, shit
Masterminded with the science, rappers smacking their teeth & sighing
Cuz they're only option is staying silent
I be a pharaoh with this lyrical shit
I'm Ricky Walters by the way I rule shit
Shit is easy like I'm signed with Ruthless, cadences that cause contusions
Niggas is losers, I showed & proved, you still improving
[Hook]
I'm trying to be retired 'fore I'm 35
Word to Chris, I ain't trying to work to stay alive
I'm tryna witness how that Lex feel
Hop on the lodge off the tire squeal, forreal
[Verse 2]
Out of town, shorty dropped about fiiiive, yo
Sporting frames that I can't pronounce
Smile every time I see my bank account
Moetic bottle in lap, smoking a potent pack
The lifestyle of the rich & shameless
A lost boy tryna find his way in
Built my foundation like the Wayans
All my niggas better follow suit & get this paper
I'm drapped up, like how Biz Markie was in "Vapors"
Ain't nothing changed but the radio stations & statements
I played it patient, now I'm counting pay slips
Now all I need is the Lexus for scratching off of the bucket list
Whoever said that riches couldn't crack a smile
Probably been privileged all their fucking life
The hood I come from is low income
Trust me, my nigga, it ain't nothing nice
[Hook]
So I'm trying to be retired 'fore I'm 35
I ain't trying to work to stay alive, nigga, I'm tryna shine
I say, I'm tryna witness how that Lex feel
Hop on the lodge off the tire squeal, forreal
