Generate meaning
1
I've been up for four days
2
Getting money both ways
3
Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold Spades
4
Rolexes, chauffeurs and low fades
5
I keep thinking how young you can die from old age
6
They always tell me nobody's working as hard as you
7
And even though I laugh it off, man, it's probably true
8
Cuz while all of my closest friends out partying
9
I'm just here making all the music that they party to
10
But party on, party on, all night nigga
11
I got these new rappers nervous prom night nigga
12
I've grown tired of these fucking grown man liars
13
Storytellers, they ain't even need a campfire
14
Uhh, but I just wanna tell the truth
15
Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot
16
This shit feel like when Fredro Starr was at Sunset Park
17
Stuntin' hard in his yellow Goose
18
Yeah, but I'm a ma'fuckin' missed target
19
But a target nonetheless and I just started
20
Was that directed at moi? It can't be
21
They must be talking to themselves, hoes hands free
22
Yeah, and I'm just filling up this daily planner
23
Gettin' busy 'cause I'm a star, no spangled banner
24
Jealous dudes get to talkin' in they music
25
And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends, Kelsey Grammar
26
Yeah, that's what life becomes when you're doing you
27
Welcome to Hollywood, don't let this town ruin you,
28
And if you pillow talking with the women that are screwin' you
29
Just know that she gon' tell another nigga when she through wit you
30
Don't get impatient when it takes too long
31
Drink it all even when it tastes too strong
32
Yeah, I gotta feel alive, even if it kills me
33
I promise to always give you me, the real me
34
[Chorus]
35
Who would have thought
36
I'd be caught in this life?
37
Let's celebrate with a toast
38
And get lost in tonight
39
And make it all light up
40
(Hey, Guru, tell hom' to go to open that Ace right there),
41
Wait until the sun goes down
42
We gon' make this bitch light up
43
Even when the sun goes down
44
I'm gon' make this go
45
Owww, hoes turn they heads like, owls
46
I'm the man of the hour
47
Triple entendre, don't even ask me how
48
Con Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power
49
Bright life'd make your whole city light up
50
A trillion-watt light bulb, when I'm in the nightclub
51
I just landed in that G450
52
Caught the Mayweather fight, 'cause the satellite was crispy
53
(Uh) Y'all can miss me with that money talk
54
The smart money's on Hov, fuck what the dummies talk
55
I don't do too much blogging
56
I just run the town, I don't do too much jogging
57
(Unh) I ain't got a scar yet
58
'Cause you fuckin' around with me and my dogs is far-fetched
59
Drake, here is how they gon' come at you
60
Will silly raps for you tryin' to distract you
61
In disguise, in the form of a favor
62
The Barzini me, watch for the traitors
63
(Unh) I done seen it all, done it all
64
That's why none of these dumb-dumb could dun him off
65
The summer's ours, the winter too
66
Top down in the winter, that's what winners do
67
And to these niggas I'm like Windows 7
68
You let 'em tell it, they swear that they invented you
69
And since no good deed go unpunished
70
I'm not as cool with niggas as I once was
71
I once was, cool as The Fonz was
72
But these bright lights turned me to a monster
73
Sorry, mama, I promised it wouldn't change me
74
But I would've went insane had I remained the same me
75
Fuck niggas, bitches too
76
All I got is this money, this'll do
77
[Chorus]
