[Verse 1: ian & Lil Yachty]
Weddin' cake in my blunt with no bride yet
If I face me another, I'll die here
I'm just prayin' I make it 'til Friday
Either way, I'ma die with my pride
Fell in love with the Cullinan parked out front, bitch, wait 'til you see the garage
I done made me a promise, I'll fight back once, next time, I'ma leave it to God
On God, I ain't play 'bout nothin' oncе
When it's game time, jump in, clutch
First thing in thе mornin', blunt
First thing in the mornin', I jump off the porch and head straight to the Porsche, get to drivin' like somebody chasin'
Rock it 'cause I can afford it, my pockets enormous, every time that I walk, I'm chafin'
You don't know how to ball, you lazy
You ignorin' my call, shit crazy
One time for the hoes I'm savin'
One time for the hoes that hate me
Two times for the hoes that hate me
Three times for the hoes that hate me
3.5 in the blunt, I'm spacin'
Four doors on the Rolls, shit spacious
I don't know if it's—, uh
I don't know if it's smart I stay here
I don't know if I want that Maybach
I don't know if I'll find my way back
I ain't never gon' buy my way in
I ain't never gon' bow to no man
I don't care who the fuck you came with
I don't care what the fuck your name is (What?), huh

I snuck in that bitch with a llama
I'm sneakin' outside like Osama
Know I'm richer than your favorite rapper
If I'm not, then, God, kill my momma, huh
Biggest house on the street
The first Blacks here like Obama
Okay, let's see that thunder
On the plane, we took drugs under
And my bitch ass dumb like Yolanda
I'ma put the junk up from La Fonda
