High, high, getting high
Everybody getting high 
Getting high, you're unbelivably

I just took some molly, what else? (Hey)
Got some bitch from Follies with us ('scuse me, 'scuse me)
She gonna f*ck the squad, what else? (I swear)

'Bout to f*ck this club up, what else? (Get, get) 
(Metro Boomin' want some more nigga)

I turn the Ritz into a poor house 
It's like eviction number four now 
Go 'head and ash it on the floor now 
Girl go 'head and show me how you go down 
And I feel my whole body peaking 
And I'm fucking anybody with they legs wide 
Getting faded with some bitches from the West Side 
East coast, nigga repping North Side 
Never waste a hoe's time (Freebands), bitch I'm on my own time 
F*ck a nigga co-sign
Always change my number and my phone line 
Baby girl, I don't lie 
Used to have no money for a crib 
Now my room service bill cost your whole life 
If they try to stunt me, I go all out military 
I'm camo'ed all out, like I'm in the military 
I free up all my niggas, locked up in the penitentiary (squad)

'Cause I'm always repping for that low life 
Repping for that low life (turn up) 
Low life, low life, low life 
Know I'm repping for that low, low life, yeah (representing, I'm representing)
Said I'm repping for that low life (representing) 
Low life, low life, low life, low life (I'm representing for that low life) 
Said I'm repping for that low life (I'm repping, that's repping, I'm repping)
Low life, low life, low life, yeah (rep, rep, rep, rep, rep, rep, rep)
(Woo, woo, woo, woo)

Wake up, take a sip of Ace of Spade like it's water (water)
I been on the molly and them Xans with your daughter (daughter)
If she catch me cheating, I will never tell her sorry (I swear)
If she catch me cheating, I will never tell her sorry 
Porsches in the valley, I got Bentleys, I got Raris 
Taking pain pills on the plane, getting chartered (zoom)
Popping tags on tags, I was starving ('scuse me)
Bitch, I got the juice and the carbon 
Turn a five star hotel to a traphouse 
Roaches everywhere, like we forgot to take the trash out 
Flood my cross with ice, getting money my religion 
Got my baby mama and my side bitch kissing 
I turn the Ritz into a lean house 
This the sixth time getting kicked out (woo)
I can't feel my face, I'm on Adderall, nauseous 
Niggas tryna ride my fuckin' wave, now they salty 
Running with the wave, get you killed quick 
Shoot you in your back like you Ricky 
Lil Mexico, with no life to afterlife 
My whole life, my whole life 

'Cause I'm always repping for that low life 
Low life, low life, low life 
Know I'm repping for that low, low life, yeah (representing, I'm representing)
Said I'm repping for that low life (representing) 
Low life, low life, low life, low life 
Said I'm repping for that low life (I'm repping for the low life, for the low life)
Low life, low life, low life, yeah (wait, wait, low life)

Yeah, they stereo-typing
'Cause they know a nigga keep ten rifles 
And they know a nigga keep ten snipers 
Keep a baby bottle like we wearing diapers 
Yeah, they stereo-typing 
'Cause they know a nigga keep twenty rifles 
And they know a nigga keep twenty snipers 
And they know a nigga keep ten wifeys 
Sniper, sniper, sniper, sniper, sniper 
Wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey 
That's your wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey? 
I think I like her, like her, like her, like her 
That's your wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey? 
I think I like her, like her, like her, like her 
Oh, that's your wifey, wifey, wifey, wifey? 
I think I like her, like her, like her, like her 

(Getting high, getting high, everybody getting high 
Getting high, everybody getting high, high
Getting high, everybody getting high 
Getting high, and I'm the reason why 
Getting high, getting high, everybody getting high)

I just took some molly, what else? 
Got some bitch from Follies with us 
She gonna f*ck the squad, what else? 
I'ma f*ck her broads, what else? 
Bitch from Pakistan, what up? 
Ferraris and them Lambs, what else? 
'Bout to f*ck this club up, what else?
