Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm the **** man, y'all don't get it, do ya?

Type of money everybody actin' like they knew ya

Go Uptown, New York City ****

Some Spanish girls love me like I'm Aventura

Tell Uncle Luke I'm out in Miami too

Clubbin' hard, **** women there ain't much to do

Wrist bling, got a condo up in Biscayne

Still gettin' brain from a thing, ain't **** changed

How you feel, how you feel, how you feel?

Twenty five sittin' on twenty five mil' uh

I'm in the buildin' and I'm feelin' myself

Rest in peace Mac Dre, I'ma do it for The Bay, okay

Gettin' paid, we'll holla whenever that stop

My team good, we don't really need a mascot

Tell Tune, light one, pass it like a relay

YMCMB, you **** more YMCA

[Verse 2]

Me, Freddie, Marley Marl at the crib-o

Shout goes out to Niko, Jay and Chubbs

Shout to Gibo

We got Santa Margarita by the liter

She know even if I'm **** with her

I don't really need her, ah

That's how you feel, man?

That's really how you feel?

'Cause the pimpin' ice cold

All these **** wanna chill

I mean, maybe she won't

Then again maybe she will

I can almost guarantee she know the deal

Real **** what's up

[Verse 3]

Now she want a photo

You already know though

You only live once that's the motto ****, YOLO

And we 'bout it e'ry day, e'ry day, e'ry day

Like we sittin' on the bench

**** we don't really play

E'ry day, e'ry day, **** what anybody say

Can't see 'em 'cause the money in the way

Real **** what's up

[Verse 4]

One time, **** one time

I'm callin' **** out like the umpire

Seven grams in the blunt

Almost drowned in her **** so I swam to her ****

It's Eastside, we in this ****

Wish a **** would like a tree in this ****

And if a leaf fall, put some **** in that ****

That's my MO, add a B to that ****

I'm **** up, torn down

I'm twisted, door knob

Talk stupid, off with your head

**** money talks and Mr. Ed, yeah

I'm so Young Money got a drum on the ****

Energizer bunny

Funny how honey ain't sweet like sugar

Ain't **** sweet, **** on the street like hookers

I tongue kiss her other tongue

Skeet, skeet, skeet, water gun

Oh my God, Becky, look at her butt

Tunechi

[Verse 5]

Now she want a photo

You already know though

You only live once that's the motto ****, YOLO

And we 'bout it e'ry day, e'ry day, e'ry day

Like we sittin' on the bench

**** we don't really play

E'ry day, e'ry day, **** what anybody say

Can't see 'em 'cause the money in the way

Real **** what's up

Real **** what's up

[Verse 6]

Now she want a photo

You already know though

You only live once that's the motto ****, YOLO

And we 'bout it e'ry day, e'ry day, e'ry day

Like we sittin' on the bench

**** we don't really play

E'ry day, e'ry day, **** what anybody say

Can't see 'em 'cause the money in the way

Real **** what's up
