My girl is the real Roxanne (Roxanne)

My work speak for itself

My trophies on my shelf, okay

My homies level four, okay

You folded in the war, okay

You told on your day one, okay

Next door, they never come, no way

I'm... on it, shut it, California

Run it if you want it

Car so big it's haunted

Car so big it's Tongan

House so big need Kanye lipo

Nikes Off-White like half-time Michael

Him no play, him Bateman psycho

Slide through, might paralyze you (Got you)

Don't run, I'm gonna chase you (Chase you)

Point blank, that's how the Yanks do (Yeah)

Brand new shrink, had a breakthrough

Brand new mink for the great room (Yeah)

Don't bring knives to the gunfight

We bring knives to the day room

North side, right by the Popeye's, popped out

Ran from the cops but the cops get shot now

We don't do no Axel Foleys

Find me if you askin' for me

We went to his Instagram

He said that he had the 40

Found him, then shit hit the fan

Now he actin' pastor (Yahweh)
