Dave East

You wanna be rich or you wanna be broke?
Huh

Thinkin to myself, I had a long night (I had a long night)
Woke up somewhere else, I had a long flight (Where we go?)
Sweatsuit for the flight
I got it, Off-White (I got it, Off-White)
This is for my niggas really came up off white
(Came up off white)
You ain t never been on no mission

(Touched your heart, right?)
You ain t never fucked no bitch
til she ain t walk right (She ain t walk right)
I know youngins that shoot funny
like they Cartwright (Boom-boom, like they Cartwright)
Home invasions feel amazing
til you get caught, right? ( Til you get caught, right?)
We masked up like Bane on them dark nights
(On them dark nights)
F&N bullets treat your body
like a shark bite (Like a shark bite)
Outside on them benches under park lights
(Under park lights)
That phone ring, you better answer
I don t call twice (I don t call twice)
In a smoker crib, could find me all night (All night)
Made enough for mama groceries, now we alright (We alright)
Homie, you pussy with a strap
that mean you all dyke (That mean you all dyke)
In these New York City night
you better talk nice (Talk nice, nigga)

Thinkin to myself, I came a long way (I came a long way)
I could ve took the wrong exit
and went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I m just prayin to God
they let these songs play (I m prayin )
I ain t have to follow niggas
found my own way (Found my own way)
This shit ain t a game so, nigga
don t play (Nigga, don t play)
Don t never make a bet you know
you won t pay (You know you won t pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch
I m OJ (Bitch, I m OJ)
Smokin good, seat back, play the O Jays (Play the O Jays)

Uh, seat back, Maybach, Luther Vandross
House slippers, gold chains with a damn robe
What I drive today? Mercedes or the Land Rove
Yeah, you thought that was your mans but your man s told
Hundreds in my bankroll but all that glitters ain t gold
I swore my heart done turned cold
but that s just how the game goes
I be in the crib home theater watchin Django
Thinkin about the past like
Why the fuck I come for lame hoes?
Was dreamin of fortunes for me to scheme and extortions
I blow a bag up at Nordstroms, I used to party at Morgan
Them college days I was not as paid
Used to sell weed after class and work at Fridays
Dorm room, I would burn sage and bump Sade
Bring a baddie back and blow that back out bout five ways
Oh, yeah, back in my day
Dreamin of the future, we done came up from the past
Livin out today like this shit gon be my last, my God

Thinkin to myself, I came a long way (I came a long way)
I could ve took the wrong exit
and went the wrong way (Went the wrong way)
I m just prayin to God

This shit ain t a game so, nigga
don t play (Nigga, don t play)
Don t never make a bet you know
you won t pay (You know you won t pay)
Think I could get away with murder, bitch
I m OJ (Bitch, I m OJ)
Smokin good, seat back, play the O Jays (Play the O Jays)

With some bitches that go both ways (Both ways)
When I seen Nas in Belly
I got a low fade (I got a low fade)
Iverson talking bout practice
made me grow braids (Made me grow braids)
We was dusty comin up

Now, I m in some foreign shit takin up both lanes (Skrrt)
A lot of years they gave them prisons

I never seen referees up in the dope game
(Up in the dope game)
I feel like Meech, gold Rollie

Blowin money fast, blowin money fast (We blow it)
Couldn t tell me shit, I counted a couple hundred cash
Don t want to drive it if it ain t at least
two hundred on the dash (Two-twenty)
Everybody wanna ride with you until you crash (Ooh)
