[Intro]
Yeah
Ear Drummers, yeah, yeah
Uh-huh
Mike WiLL—Mike WiLL

[Chorus]
I always wanted to stunt so hard (Yeah,) I always wanted to ride that whip (Always)
I always wanted to fuck that bitch (I always,) thank you, God, I fucked that bitch (God)
I always wanted to live this life (Life,) I always wanted to wear that ice (All this ice)
I always wanted paradise, I always wanted paradise, look

[Post-Chorus]
Now it don’t take a lot to make you rich (To make you rich)
I’m addicted to a lot of crazy shit (I’m addicted to a lot of crazy shit)
But I feel like money is the best drug (Best drug)
Sometimes hate can be the best love

[Verse 1]
Walkin’ in like I got cameras on me, niggas can’t control me, ain’t no handles on me
Shit don’t get out of hand, it get handled, homie, got a pretty young girl, look like Janet on me (Word)
She a pretty penny and she know I’m doing numbers ‘til we crash up the whole database (Word)
I bring it home like I’m base to base to base (Yeah,) closet lookin’ like Planet of the Bathing Apes (Yeah)
What you think this life just landed on me? My whole city look like it’s abandoned, homie
And we came straight out of those abandoned homes (Yeah,) every wish we ever had got granted, homie
And I’ll never take that shit for granted even when the marble floor and counter top is all granite
Back before I got paid any advances, back when my rollie was ticking, no dancing
Nigga, never did I slip or I panic, even if I was the captain of Titanic
Riding through the north Atlantic, homie, I never jumped crew or abandoned, homie
All the fruits of my labor organic, homie, making sure my family tree got hammocks on it
And a good guy can change, ‘specially if he short-changed, so fuck is my ransom, homie?

[Pre-Chorus]
Money bag, money bag, money bag
Money bag, money bag, money bag (Yeah)
Money bag, money bag, money bag
Money bag, money bag, money bag (Yeah, yeah)

[Interlude]
(Uh-huh) Straight up
Finally Famous, nigga (Yeah)
Ear Drummers
Oh damn, damn
Mike WiLL—Mike WiLL

[Verse 2]
Aw damn, I’m illuminated, man, I knew I’d make it and I get that shit accumulatin’ (Accumulatin’)
Never throwing money out, I boomerang it, finally famous over everything, that’s a numerator, weed lit, yeah, it’s luminated
Room lookin’ like it’s fumigated, bitch, my crew invaded, when I walk in, man, they body to body
Hol’ up everybody, don’t worry, man, I got it, I got it, I need a hundred dollar bill, photocopy the email and copy
Man, I’m going hard all season, these hoes goin’ both ways, offense, defense
Livin’ life on the deep end, F-F allegiance, beat the odds and got even
What you think, that we just started, nigga? Boy, the sword just got sharpened, nigga
This ain’t war, we just sparring, nigga, I was on the rooftop with my nigga Mike Carson, nigga
Shootin’ that “Too Fake” video, my nigga, we all in, we set ourselves apart from all our apartments
Was up in Florida, no Marlins, nigga, I’m that Sean, no Marlon, nigga, uh
Look at my girl nigga, fuck yo’ bae list, fuck yo’ night list, fuck yo’ day list, fuck yo’ playlist
I’m from the D, fuck your A-list, I been working eight days a week, I don’t even know what the fuck today is
I hit the booth and I just went Super Saiyan, I run with the purp like I play with the Ravens
These bitches rant and rave, I hope I never have to go back watching Everybody Loves Raymond
Eating ramen, nigga, this paradise, life’s a fucking paradox and pair of dice
If they not rolling with you, then they parasites, nigga, I had that vision, it was ClearSight, nigga, Sean Don
