Persona's that of a non-needer |
| [00:33.82] |
Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver |
| [00:36.55] |
For cold winters, tattoos got my summer's sleeveless |
| [00:38.62] |
To my g's on the flee from the coppers |
| [00:41.54] |
Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors |
| [00:43.64] |
From the slums I come up a phoenix |
| [00:45.91] |
Caked up, tryna take what I'm eating |

This old German |
| [01:03.72] |
Said I was a thug with a notty head |
| [01:05.11] |
Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled |
| [01:07.34] |

Too many rappers, athletes, and actors |
| [02:02.37] |
But not enough niggas in NASA |
| [02:04.86] |
Who give you the latest dances, trends, and fashion |
| [02:07.32] |
But when it comes to residuals, they look past us |
| [02:09.65] |
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us |
