Yeah, uh, uh And they say they ballin', but I do it how the pro's do Where we goin' next week, I let my hoes choose Uh, no socks in my boat shoes Guess a nigga eatin' good like Whole Foods Not a couple cameras, now they bring the whole crew Bad bitch ridin' with me, so she pose too See me and my guys like a plane flown through Hella high, roll the weed up like I'm supposed to And now I'm into big things Own the building, you need to know the tenant rate Gettin' paid, still ridin' no shirt Let a bitch give me brain, call it homework Niggas try hatin' on 'em, but it don't work A lotta shit done changed New clothes, new car, new thangs (uh) The same boys that used to be at the bottom came up That's what they say Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop (yeah, uh) Slow money just as bad as gettin' no money But learn to get good show money, that's your money Get comfortable with it, really know money Rich nigga shit, that really goes for me Self-made nigga, well played I'm on the plane drinkin' champagne and lemonade You tryna copy what's been done, I'm tryna innovate And club owners gettin' tired of tryna ventilate, big mistake I'm too busy findin' places and trips to take The more I smoke, the more money my business make Remember they used to be like who is this? Now, I'm up in this bitch, they light up like Independence Day When you around the real, you keep it real everyday My niggas keep it real, so I hear what they say Either you gettin' paid or you payin' to play Either you on your grind or you stay out the way A lotta shit done changed New clothes, new car, new thangs The same boys that used to be at the bottom came up That's what they say Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop Uh, just made a million, got another million on my schedule The pick up on my Ferrari, you jets or you jetless You niggas ain't help us, on second thoughts you did They hatin' was the fuel for this shit So you wrote your own check off a ho ass Sweatin' bullets at home, wonderin' if she comin' back Whodi you a simp and she can smell it on ya That's why you only see her when you buyin' stuff for her We was sneakin' in then it was general admission Now we own the arena decidin' who allowed in it My windows ain't tinted, pimpin', I ain't trippin' Had showered that shit, I'm just ballin' and chillin' We plotted this out, one night in the city Now we Los Angeles, medicine cabinet twistin' Our habits are expensive, we gotta have it TwitPicin' when we get it and they mad at us, fuck them niggas A lotta shit done changed New clothes, new car, new thangs The same boys that used to be at the bottom came up That's what they say Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop Used to not be allowed in the building But now we on the rooftop Lotta money, lotta luggage, lotta hoes When you puttin' in work, that's how it goes Lotta money, lotta luggage, lotta hoes When you puttin' in work, that's how it goes Lotta money, lotta luggage, lotta hoes When you puttin' in work, that's how it goes Lotta money, lotta luggage, lotta hoes When you puttin' in work, that's how it goes And if the kids tryna be like me They probably smokin' by the O Oh, that ain't my fault though
