Kill a cow, west side no lolly (Lolly)
Brown boi, on the verge, you saw me
Late at night when all the world was sleepin'
I stayed up to grind away, yeah
Came up, what I feel it

Maybe it's the hair or the jeans of the season
We gon' take it from the first floor to the ceilin'

[Verse 2: WHATUPRG and Joey Vantes]
Young Mexican kid tryna get rich
Tryna cross everything off the wish list (Wow)
Mama said I can do anything

They ain't gotta know where I'm at (Oh no)
Keep it on the low if they ask (If they ask)
I told the label, "You gon' have to double that advance
'Cause I gotta split it with the fam" (Yeah)
Pops got deported, boy, I had to be the man (Yeah)
Errybody actin' like they famous on the 'gram
I ain't pay attention, I was stickin' to the plan
Man, I seen the big picture, I don't need a Nikon
Ma sold tamales just to keep the lights on
Pops had to work outside every winter (Real)
Your wins ain't wins to me, I think bigger
My momma just got her papers (Papers)
We ain't gotta hide from immigration, yeah (Yeah, yeah)
I'ma ride for the crew
Take a seat and watch how this brown boi move

Lately, I've been walkin' on the buildings
Took it from the floor to the ceilin,' yeah
