I don't know if I'm worse when I'm rich or when I'm broke niggaz

Same attitude you got it go 'head smoke nigga!

I'm fuckin' with a blonde bitch I got my own fragrance

Power by 50, goddamn it; I think I made it!

I tried to keep it basic, they wanna complicate shit,

The Feds on my phone that's why I don't ever say shit.

Portray bein' a friend to me and I'll make you a memory,

The .40 Cali burn you be smokin' like a chimney!

Niggaz sick of pussy shit and me I'm jus' a remedy!

'03 "Get Rich", nigga you remember me?

Shorty rock her hips she get to lookin' like a entree [scream]

Bad bitch phat ass bouncin' it' like Beyoncé!

She sayin' I'm a a Diva! - I'm a, I'm a a Diva!

I was born alone I die alone! - I be in the zone

Bitches won't leave me 'lone, now that my money long! [gunshot]

[Chorus:]

Since a little nigga I been on my own

Me, I hold a chrome, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga!

That shorty shit is over now I'm grown

Me, I'm full blown, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga!

Since a little nigga I been on my own; me?

I hold a chrome, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga!

That shorty shit is over now I'm grown; me?

I'm full blown, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga!

[Verse 2:]

I pull the hammer out and spank niggaz! (spank niggaz!)

I pick you, stab you got sugar in your tank nigga! (tank nigga!) [kids ovation]

Don't fuckin' look at me! - I blend in with the best of them - shooters and robbers

I'm on that Will.I.Am shit I black ya eye for bloggin'. [scream]

What the fuck is the problem? Violence isn't the answer!

I split your fuckin' head then get jammed up! [gunshot]

Why did you call the cops? Why didn't you say I'm hot?

It's been six years I been here on top!

You act like I'm a' average nigga, spittin' a average flow

Fuckin' with average bitches like everywhere that I go! [classic evil laughter]

I'm not focused on hoes I'm focusin' on the dough

And I won't talk to you after my next album blows! [blast]

[Chorus:]

Since a little nigga I been on my own

Me, I hold a chrome, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga! {Whoooooooooooooooooooooo Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! }

So respect it or check it nigga!

Since a little nigga I been on my own

Me, I hold a chrome, you don't think,

So respect it or check it nigga! [gunshot]

That shorty shit is over now I'm grown

Me, I'm full blown, you don't think,
