And the crowd you bring
34
Cuz they came to do drugs

Up in the club with fake ID

Like Oprah Winfrey
52
Whatever you decide
53
Be careful some men be

Older than you are

Give yourself time to grow

61
You thinkin life's all about smokin weed
62
And ice
63
You don't wanna be my age
64
And can't read and write
65
Beggin' different women for a place to sleep at night
66
Smart boys turn to men and do whatever they wish
67
If you believe you can achieve it then say it like this
68
Chorus 4x

78
Gold was converted to money
79
It all changed
