Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Catch me high at the arraignment
Never been a plaintiff
Shit, I'll aim the stainless like I'm Nameth
Lawyer tackled the case like he played for the Ravens
So I stuff him with cheese like a danish
Damn, I crave paper
Catch me later at the Laker game
I bet a grip on the Knicks
Carmelo sweatin' on my kids 'cause I'm court side
It's time to cut weight
I'm a free man, that's what I should say
[Verse 2]
Nobody holdin' me back except myself, that's what I realize
Peelin' the 5, now I'm feelin' the vibe
Hand on the wheel, drugs in my eyes
Money on my mind
I think about it all the time
'Cause there was a time I never had shit
Now I got shit, it's like magic
All these cars in front of the crib look like a pageant
I'll catch AIDS, buy the cure like I'm Magic
Hide the fuckin' drugs inside a rabbit
I'm a bastard
[Verse 3]
Uh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah
It's so easy to just be looked over
Never look sober
Look through the eyes of a soldier
Look fly in the Rover, lions and cobras
Keep the iron in the toga
Send the message, leave you lyin' over
Bitches crushin' on the kid, so now they flyin' over
Half of the world'll get wrapped up in pearls, uh
Like the Queen of England, stay wavy
[Verse 4]
Mercedes color Wayne Brady, it's me, baby
Please baby, ain't nobody takin' my spot
That's on my mother, kid
Cross my heart and hope to die
That's on some other shit
This motherfuckin' kid been coveted
Different types of silks is what I'm covered with
Baby, I'm lovin' it
Your boy is hotter than an oven mitt
If I was broke, then you'd be runnin' your shit
Poke your kidney with the knife I cut an onion with
Then poach your kidney with some onions and shit
It's me
