Yeah, ladies and gentlemen!
Boys and girls, mammals and cats
Dogs, chickens, ducks and all that in between
Yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh
Ayy, ayy, ayy
F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fresh
What it is, bitch?
F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fresh
KT, government muscle, what's happenin'?
F-F-F-F-F-F-F-F-Fresh
Yeah, hey, hey, hey
The diamonds in my bracelet shine like a Kodak flash
Just motivation for them freakin' hoes to show that ass
I pop tags on a throwback fast
Nigga please, I'm wearin' these when I cut my grass
Freeze, all you niggas wanna touch my cash
The 40 cal's in the stash, so when I touch I blast
Televisions in the dash, suede roof in the coupe
I'm the one, nigga, young nigga, newest to truth
And the dumb niggas I ain't done provin' it to
Come with a clique of gorillas like a hug at a zoo
I got a bitch to pull a pistol like she wanted a crew
Now a bunch of broads in the back bustin' it loose
Do it free for me, I'll charge you a hundred or two
Top floor in the presidential with a wonderful view
Yeah, I'm rich but I ain't just talkin', I live like this
You couldn't get water out the faucet as clear as my wrist
Hey, y'all ain't heard the latest?
Hey, it's the best of the best
Young Pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevy, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL, V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' with your latest
I got a beautiful bitch pursuin' ya
Next thing you know, you're losin' ya
Y'all niggas give it up, I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy), nigga, I'm the greatest
It's been a long time since you seen a nigga like me
In a pair of Gucci sneakers, jeans and a white tee
Extravagant and out of control I might be
But I'm makin' 50K on the road a night, G
Rocks in my ring big as cubes in your iced tea
I used to dream 'bout a Benz, now I own like three
I got a wine colored V with the wine colored P
And reclined leather seats, I ain't lyin', I'm a beast
You can tell I'm gettin' money, how I shine in the streets
Blowin' on the best pine you can find in the streets
Rappers wastin' they time if they tryin' to compete
They record sales declinin' when mine hit the streets
I got the fine freaks starin' 'cause my time piece glarin'
When the light hit the carats, got they eyes lookin' Chinese
You'll run yourself raggedy tryin' to outshine me
No matter what you do, you're two steps behind me
Hey, y'all ain't heard the latest?
Hey, it's the best of the best
Young Pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevy, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL, V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' with your latest
I got a beautiful bitch pursuin' ya
Next thing you know, you're losin' ya
Y'all niggas give it up, I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy), nigga, I'm the greatest
My rude attitude enabled me to ball outrageous
Coke, you pay me, I'm all out of favors
What Grand Hustle got ain't a motherfucker gave us
A motherfuckin' thang, but ain't a motherfucker played us
You got a mil'? That's a small percentage
The way your record deal structured, you only get a small percentage
I got a Magnum with a magnum in it
A PlayStation and a plasma in it
Sittin' on twenty inches and it's tinted
Got a hemi, nothin' faster than it
Bet fifty G's I'll pass you in it
Get real, got a Chevy more expensive than that Jag you rented
Excuse me but let Young Pimpin' brag a minute
Got a bottle of Louie and a flock of groupies hotter than Rudy
Lickin' me dry when I get out the jacuzzi
They eatin' pussy and cummin' 'til they mouth got gooey
Can't another young nigga in the South outdo me
Hey, y'all ain't heard the latest?
Hey, it's the best of the best
Young Pimpin' on a record with Fresh
I drive Chevy, fuck Mercedes
Hopped out the new CL, V12, got in the blue SS
And I'm leavin' with your latest
I got a beautiful bitch pursuin' ya
Next thing you know, you're losin' ya
Y'all niggas give it up, I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy)
I'm the greatest (Ayy), nigga, I'm the greatest
