Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Laced at Macy's, don't have it
A hatred addict
I need faces mad with frowns when I'm around, or I'm wastin' fabric
I don't feel greater till my plush pieces
'Cause you to suck your teeth
So mean-muggin' on my clean thuggin' mean nothin'
[Verse 2]
Women, dream I'm your husband
I'm Alex Pushkin, the black poetry-writin' Russian
Ice disgusting
I started bling, how could you question my direction?
Or my Tom Ford collection
Gangstas two-steppin'
[Verse 3]
You hate me, should thank me
But lately, I burned so much trees
I keep environmentalists angry
I'm a rare dude, I'm a wonder
Your best success is my worst blunder
Y'all livin' trendy on pennies
I cop plenty Fendi
[Verse 4]
Vivienne Westwood, I'm good
Get the whole Trump Tower top floor for the hood
Dre and Cool, we ridin' heavy
N.Y. to Miami 'cause
[Verse 5]
(We make the world go 'round)
Now let's toast to the hustlers
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the hustlers, toast to the gangstas
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the gangstas, toast to the ballers
(We make the world go 'round)
And tell the ballers to pour a glass for all of us
(We make the world go 'round)
[Verse 6]
I see you haters on the floor, jockin' my swag
I'm poppin' Ralph Lauren tags
I'm pourin' champagne inside a polo glass
Model bitches rollin' grass
Escabon foldin' cash
Toasting with my entourage
Went from robbing armored cars
To all my stars
Red carpet to the L'Ermitage
We throwin' red dice at the Mirage
[Verse 7]
I pull that red Lamborghini or twenties out my garage
Set up shop in South Beach like Khaled and Terror Squad
(We the best) Big pimpin'
Top down, chrome spinnin'
Top Gun, Tom Cruise
Tucked inside my Gucci linen
[Verse 8]
Nope
Just Romo, you tryna shine
I put the nine on your jersey for promo
Jessica Simpson, that's so-so
Nick want his (Baby back)
Wit that slow song
Tell Hawaii 5-0 to catch me at the Pro Bowl on the field
Diamonds chokin' the jockey on my polo
CB, let 'em know though
[Verse 9]
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the hustlers, toast to the gangstas
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the gangstas, toast to the ballers
(We make the world go 'round)
And tell the ballers to pour a glass for all of us
(We make the world go 'round)
(We make the world go 'round)
[Verse 10]
From my town to your town
We on top, no stoppin' us now
We got Patrón, the ballers, two steppin'
Ladies on the floor and all in, two steppin'
From L.A. to Harlem, two-steppin'
(From L.A to Harlem, two-steppin')
So iced out, it's easy to point them haters out
[Verse 11]
We start with Bellini's and end with Patrón shots
H. Lorenzo, belt buckle from Chrome Heart
A-life tag popper
It'd be sad not to walk out the store with bags
Worth a hunnid cash, shoppin'
[Verse 12]
Violence only would have to
Have to swell you up
Prefer peach Schnaps, Perrier-Jouët, a vanilla dutch
Mets cap, that's Queens, I'm a vet
Bet that three hunnid carats the average up on the neck, black
Paid the cost to be the boss, Black Caesar floss
Weekends at the Venetian, pull up in that black Porsche
[Verse 13]
Top down, new fashion
Seein' me's like seein' through the lens of
Helmut Newton's camera, light flashin'
[Verse 14]
And I'm laughin'
My plaque's from album sales
Y'all is ringtone platinum
But ninety-nine cents adds up
[Verse 15]
I don't hate 'em, I congratulate 'em
The new young Prince with young Michael Jackson
On the same track, what
Now let's toast to the hustlers
[Verse 16]
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the hustlers, toast to the gangstas
(We make the world go 'round)
Tell the gangstas, toast to the ballers
(We make the world go 'round)
And tell the ballers to pour a glass for all of us
(We make the world go 'round)
