We invite you to,
(G major) (A minor) something epic y'all know? (F major)
(A minor) Where we hustle out of a sense (G major)

Hoes'll get you side (A minor) tracked

My (F major) pain wish it (A minor) was quick to see, (G major)
from selling 'Caine
'Til brain (A minor) s was fried (G major) to a fricassee,
can't lie
At the (A minor) time it never (G major) bothered me,
at the bar
Getting my (A minor) thug on (G major) properly,
my squad and me
Lack of re (A minor) spect for (G major) au thority,
laughing hard
Happy to (F major) be escaping poverty,
(G major) however brief
I know (A minor) this game got (G major) valleys and peaks,
expectation
For dips, (A minor) four pre (G major) cipitation
we stack chips, hardly
(A minor) The youth (G major) I used to be,
soon to see a mill'in
No (A minor) more, Big (G major) Willie my game has grown prefer

Presid (G major) ential suites my residential
for the week (A minor) end
Confidentially speaking (G major) in codes

We both out of town dog,
what you trying to get in (A minor) to?
Viva, Las (G major) Vegas,

Meet me by the one
that starts a G up
This way no fraud Willie's present
gambling they re- up

Verse 4
(A minor) My mind is infested,
(G major) with sick thoughts that circle
(A minor) Like a (G major) Lexus, if driven wrong
it's sure to hurt you
(A minor) Du al level like (G major) duplexes, in unity,
my crew and (A minor) me
Commit at (G major) rocities like we got
immunity
You guessed (A minor) it, manifest
it in tan (G major) gible goods
Platinum (A minor) Rolexed it, we (G major) don't lease
We buy the whole car, as you should

(G major) overload the mind of a said patient
(A minor) When it balls to steam, (G major) it comes to it
We (A minor) all fiends gotta (G major) do it, even
righteous minds go through this
(A minor) True this, the streets school (G major) us
to spend our money foolish
(A minor) Bond (G major) with jewelers and,
watch for intruders
(A minor) I stepped it up (G major) another level,
meditated like a Buddhist
(A minor) Recruited (G major) lieutenants with ludicrous,
dreams of
Getting (A minor) cream let's do this,
it get (G major) s tedious
So (A minor) I keep one (G major) eye open like,
C- B- S, ya see me
Stressed right? Can I (Bdim) live?
(G major) (A minor)
