Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cash in deposits, 24 carat faucets
Louis V and Goyard trunks
All in the closet
Ain’t shit changed
The streets is still watchin’
And my lil’ baby Blue is like
“Who gon’ stop us, huh?”
[Verse 2]
Ain’t no way to stop this love
Ain’t no space if everything is love
[Verse 3]
I’m representin’ for the hustlers all across the world
Still
Still dippin’ in my low-lows girl
Still
I put it down for the 7 -1- 3
And we still got love for the streets
Ow!
[Verse 4]
We play it cool at the pool
In Cancun, VMA
Confidence you exude
Make the fools stay away
Me, I played my room
Let the fools have they say
Fate, had me sitting next you
On a plane
And I knew straight away, uh
The next time we would speak
Was like two years away
You had a man
You shut it down
Until you two had a break
I bet that dude rue the day
You kept me up on the phone
While you were away
You came back
I let you set the date
NOBU on the plate
I brought my dude to play it cool
My first foolish mistake
[Verse 5]
Cash in deposits, 24 carat faucets
Louis V and Goyard trunks
All in the closet
Ain’t shit changed
The streets is still watchin’
And my lil’ baby Blue is like
“Who gon’ stop us, huh?”
[Verse 6]
Ain’t no way to stop this love
Ain’t no space if everything is love
[Verse 7]
I’m representin’ for the hustlers all across the world
Still
Still dippin’ in my low-lows girl
Still
I put it down for the 7 -1- 3
And we still got love for the streets
Ow!
[Verse 8]
I never knew a
Love, love, love, love like this
Gotta be special for me to write this
Queen, I ain’t mean no disrespect
But the way I network
Is hard for me to connect
My first time in the ocean
Went exactly as you’d expect
Meanwhile, you going hard
Jumping off the top deck
A leap of faith
I knew I was up next
I never told you
But I told a few people we’d wed
Me, I’m off to Rome
You going back home instead
My first time in my life
A live **** felt dead
You came back, I had to act
Like it was cool in my head
Thoughts of jumping the broom
A player never been swept
[Verse 9]
Cash in deposits, 24 carat faucets
Louis V and Goyard trunks
All in the closet
Ain’t shit changed
The streets is still watchin’
And my lil’ baby Blue is like
“Who gon’ stop us, huh?”
[Verse 10]
I’m representin’ for the hustlers all across the world
Still
Still dippin’ in my low-lows girl
Still
I put it down for the 7 -1- 3
And we still got love for the streets
Ow!
[Verse 11]
To all the good girls that love hustlers
To the mothers that put up with us
To all the babies that suffer ‘cause us
We only know love because of ya
America is a motherfucker to us
Lock us up, shoot us
Shoot our self esteem down
We don’t deserve true love
Black queen, you
Rescued us
You rescued us
Rescued us
