Bandz a make her dance that's thousand dollar foreplay

Last king come sign up all my shit be designer
Extraordinary rhymer I bodied yo' shit for nothin'

Went gold in a month so it ain't no budget

Hands clap like a nigga in the stadium
Million dollar chain but I'm rocking 8 of 'em
I see you sleeping boy don't make me pick your label up

Another triple got me tripping like it's angel dust
We just winning all the women in my table ah
