Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Al Geno on the track)
[Verse 2]
I was havin' bad dreams, way before the fame, way before the lean
Them youngins go cop .223s and Jordans until they matchin'
I turned them shackles to diamonds
I turned them shackles to diamonds
[Verse 3]
Your baby bang red like Santa Claus 'cause he ain't used to gettin' up for Christmas
I went to sleep broke so many times, now it's fifty racks in my pillow
I took every drug just to deal with it, but I'm still missin' my ****
Sit at the house while I'm rollin' loud, probably'll take a hundred guns to Coachella
Bet shawty come back when I cheat 'cause she know the next **** ain't realer
How you gon' come around tryna seek fame and I still can't hide these tears?
Too much money bring attention, I be wishin' I was broke
The way a **** livin', I just pray I make it old
Told Rylo, "Get that paper, we'll drop a mixtape later"
And go pack out arenas, the shit we used to dream of
[Verse 4]
Two hundred thousand on my neck, but don't look wrong
'Cause this that same shit a **** lose they life for
[Verse 5]
They ain't never tell a **** ballin' come with court dates
They ain't never tell a ****
They ain't never tell me I'd lose all my teammates
But I need one more strip
[Verse 6]
I was havin' bad dreams, way before the fame, way before the lean
Them youngins go cop .223s and Jordans until they matchin'
I turned them shackles to diamonds
I turned them shackles to diamonds
[Verse 7]
They ain't never tell a **** ballin' come with court dates
They ain't never tell a ****
