Now, I'm at a pay
Asus2 Asus2 
 
(phone) Man, fuck that shit
E E 
 
I'll be out spending all this money
while you sitting 'round
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Wondering why it wasn't you
who came up from nothing
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Made     it from the bottom, now,
when you see me, I'm stunning
Asus2 Asus2 
 
And all of my cars start
with a push of a button
E E 
 
Telling me the chances I blew up
or whatever you call it
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Switched the number to my phone
so you never could call it
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Don't need my name on my show,
you can tell it I'm ballin'
Asus2 Asus2 
 
Swish, what a shame could have got picked
E E 
 
Had a really good game,
C#m7 C#m7 
 
but you missed your last shot
So you talk about who you see at the top
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
Or what     you could have saw,
but sad to say it's over for
Asus2 Asus2 
 
Phantom pulled up, valet open doors
E E 
 
Wished I'd go away,
got what you was looking for
C#m7 C#m7 
 
Now it's me who they want, so you can go
Bsus4 Bsus4 
 
And take that little   piece of shit with you
