Lyrics
[Intro]
Ayy, ayy
You gotta believe, you gotta believe
Ayy, ayy
You gotta believe, you gotta believe
Let's get it
[Verse 1]
I used to hit the kitchen lights (Lights), cockroaches everywhere
Hit the kitchen lights, now it's marble floors, everywhere (Haha)
Call the carpenter, the roof on the coupe's gone (Chea)
Give a **** what he sold, I'm the truth holmes (That's right)
Kitchen fumed up, **** jamming 2Pac (Chea)
Get my Benihanas on, working two pots (Damn)
Baby need shoes, partner need bail money
Bloodhound for the bread, I just smell money
You **** just write, I recollect (Recollect)
Hands on, Jeezy really counted them checks (Yeah)
I'm Donald Trump in a white tee and white 1's (Chea)
The conversation is money, ****, you want some? (Ayy)
[Chorus]
Ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
(You gotta believe, you gotta believe)
Ayy
You ain't never seen them pies
I'm talking so much white, it'll hurt ya eyes
I really lived it man
Counted so much paper, it'll hurt ya hands
Let's get it
[Verse 2]
I'm what the streets made me, a product of my environment (Chea)
Took what the streets gave me, product in my environment (Ayy)
Now it's twenty-eight inches on a brand new Hummer
Telling you right now, it's gon' be a cold summer (Yeah)
Blew the brains out the Chevy, call it suicide
It's a way of life, that's how us young **** ridin' (That's right)
Trap Or Die gave 'em hope, they waiting on the sequel (Chea)
It's clear to see the boy Jeezy do it for the people (Ayy)
[Chorus]
Ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
(You gotta believe, you gotta believe)
Ayy
You ain't never seen them pies
I'm talking so much white, it'll hurt ya eyes
I really lived it man
Counted so much paper, it'll hurt ya hands
Let's get it
[Verse 3]
I'm the author of the book, yeah, a genius wrote it (Chea)
There's a message in my words, you gotta decode it (Ayy)
I seen it all, every ****, every bird (What)
I spit the truth, every noun, every verb (That's right)
I never exaggerated one line, one dime (Dime)
Never lied to the people, not one time (Never)
A hard head make a soft ass (Ayy)
And hard white'll get ya straight cash (Haha)
[Chorus]
Ayy, ayy
Ayy, ayy
(You gotta believe, you gotta believe)
Ayy
You ain't never seen them pies
I'm talking so much white, it'll hurt ya eyes
I really lived it man
Counted so much paper, it'll hurt ya hands
