Money, power, and respectAyo my whole clique bout it, 'bout it
We take yours while you pout about it
Truck, step out the whore's wanna' crowd around it
You could see me on optimum TVGo in your bathroom turn the light out, scream
Bloody Mary, 1, 2, 3
Sheek ain't your usual friend
About to setchu' up like Kaiser and walk straight at the endI'm done wit' ice and charms
I'm tryin' my whole casket when I'm gone
Pull up wit' class on the don'
Once I meet em' I greet 'emKiss his feet for freedom
Tell 'em thank you lord
'Cuz on Earth I was gettin' bored
Now resurrect me back to this cat called SheekSo I can make this album
And get back the cats that's weak
Two thirty, six two
Me bust for you that's like a cat vs a pitbullGun, know clip full, keep hunger
And plan for the future, 'cuz you figure
You gon' be older
Way longer than you gon' be youngerIt's the key to life

It's the key to lifeOnly time could tell how the clock ticks
I'm really loved here but I'm still a hostage
Two personalities check the posture
Smoke out the mouth clear out the nostrilsYou think of death but the life seem scary
I'm past the graveyard seein' people Hail Mary
I ain't chillin til' I'm out parachutin'
Race my man in mountain climbin' for about ten diamondsTwenty five thousand a piece
Fuck streets
Tryin' to own the island
Forget about wilin'Try ridin' in the car that be glidin'
If I showed you where I lived you would think I was hidin'
Sling dick to chicks that don't speak English
Wake up in Trinidad, like fuckin' 'em rich
Come back, private jet live on set
If you could shit gold like you split the decksIt's the key to life
Money, power, and respect
Whatchu' need in life

Money, power, and respect
Money, power, and respectYo nutin' but the hotness
Whenever we drop this
Monotonous for y'all to keep hatin'
'Cuz y'all never gon' stop us
I keep my rocks spotless, and my hoes topless
Take time try to figure out who da Lox isFear no one
Kick rhymes like Shoguns
You scared to blow one
Get robbed wit' your own gunIf I don't respect you I'm ah check you
And if I don't kiss you I'm a peck you
Right before I wet' chu
I sneeze on tracks an' bless youI'm special
And if you like workin' out
then I'm gon' stretch you
Husslin' is dead but we still get redTurn the spots in the bakeries to get back bread
And y'all said my monies spent
But it's in the Bent
So when the feds come the dogs can't get a scentFor my story, self-explanatory
that I'm the hottest thing on the street
An' yall ain't got nutin' for meIt's the key to life

This is a beat that I can freak to

Plus a nigga wit' the ill
Y'all niggas know my skillsAss from the grills get em' up
split em' up, wet em' up
And watch em' come get em' up
Set em' upWhen you do dirt, you get dirt
Bitch, I'll make your shit hurt
Step back like I did worse
This ain't no fucking gameYou think I'm playin', till you layin'
To where? The junkyard decayin'
Mom's at home prayin'
That chu comin' homeBut chu not, 'cuz you sittin' up in the trunk startin to rot
And hell is hot, I know because I'm here now Baby
It's goin' down baby
Git the full pound babyAnd let off up in a nigga
especially if he think he bigga'
than my muthafuckin' trigga'
Did I? Can I get my? Is it gone?
