Uh
R.I.P. to B.I.G
Classic shit

I'm looking for a nigga to give some babies
A hand full of Weezy’s, a sprinkle of Dave East
Man, I ain't got no type, like Jxmmi and Swae Lee
But if he can't f*ck three times a night, peace
I tried to f*ck 50 for a powerful hour
All the nigga wanna do is talk power for hours
Beat the pussy up make sure it's a K-O
Step your banks up like you movin' that yayo
Somebody go and make sure Karrueche okay though
I heard she think I'm tryna give the coochie to Quavo
They always wanna beat it up, goon up the pussy
Man, maybe I should let him autotune up the pussy
All these Bow Wow challenge niggas lying and shit
Man, these Fetty Wap niggas stay eyeing my shit
Drake worth a hundred milli, always buying me shit
But I don't know if the pussy wet or if he crying and shit
Meek still be in my DMs, I be having to duck him
"I used to pray for times like this"
Face ass when I f*ck him
Man, Uzi is my baby, he ain't takin' an L
But he took it literally when I said "go to hell"
Used to f*ck with Young Thug, I ain't addressing this shit
Caught him in my dressing room stealing dresses and shit
I used to give this nigga with a lisp tests and shit
How you want the pussy?
Can't say your s's and shit

Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying

I remember when I used to have a crush on Special Ed
Shoutout Desiigner, 'cause he made it out of special ed
You wanna f*ck me, you gotta give some special head
'Cause this pussy had these niggas on some special meds
Like Mike Tyson, he was biting my shit
Talking 'bout "yo, why you got these niggas fighting and shit"
On the real, I should make these niggas scrap for the pussy
Young M.A., Lady Luck, get the strap for this pussy, uh
And I would've had Odell Beckham banging the cake
'Til I saw him hopping out of cars dancing to Drake
I been a five-star bitch, man, word to Gotti
I'ma do that nigga Future dirty, word to Scotty
Had to cancel DJ Khaled, boy, we ain't speaking
Ain't no fat nigga telling me what he ain't eating
YG and The Game with the hammer yelling "gang, gang"
This isn't what I meant when I said a gang bang
Tekashi wanna menage, I said Tre-Way
Curved him and went the Kim and Kanye way
Em copped the Barbie Dreamhouse and you can play the part
I ain't tryna bust it open in the trailer park

Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Dreams of fucking one of these little rappers
I'm just playing, but I'm saying

Barbie dreams
Barbie dreams
I'm just playing, but I'm saying
Barbie dreams

You know I'm all about them dollars
I be supporting them scholars
I let him give me some brain
But he wanted me to ride it
So I said, "f*ck it, I'm in"
He want a cut like a trim
And if he act like he know, I let him f*ck it again
I got them bars, I'm indicted
I'm popping, I'm uninvited
I said just lick on the clitoris nigga, don't fucking bite it
I ride his, in a circle
I turn Stefan into Urkel
I go around and around and I'ma go down in slow motion
Then I pick it up, look at it
I said, "daddy, come get at it," uh
Yellow brick road, he said I am a wiz at it
Yeah, they want it, want it
You know I flaunt it, flaunt it
I'm a trendsetter
Everything I do, they do
Yeah, put up 'em on it, on it
Dimelo papi, papi
Yo quiero sloppy, sloppy
I'll give it to you if you beat it up like Pacqui, Pacqui
I'ma kill 'em with them shoe
No ceiling is in the roof
And I'm BIG, give me the loot, twelve cylinders in the Coupe
I get dome with the chrome, now tell 'em when I'ma shoot
I just bang, bang, bang, real killers is in my group
Gorillas is in my unit, vacationin' where it's humid
And I shine, shine, shine
I got diamonds all in my Cubans
I'm in LA Times more then when niggas lootin'
And my flow spit crack, I think that niggas usin'
He done bodied everybody, in closing these bitches losin'
Using, using, up a bitch moving
No I ain't Studdard, no no, I ain't Ruben 
Damn, a bitch snoozin'
Shoutout to my Jews, l'chaim Rick Rubin
Big fat titties yes, they be protruding 
I be like, f*ck 'em, f*ck 'em, bring the lube in
I be like f*ck 'em, f*ck 'em, bring the lube in
