Like, whoa, whoa

Sean Don, whoa

Big boys

Big Sean:

Look, all I gotta say is what a year, what a year

I decided now that every year is our year

Aw yeah man, that's 'til we disappear

I'm focused on the near and never what's in the rear

Recently I swear man we've had so many accolades

I realized I ain't sat down, not even on a Saturday

Yeah I'm going overtime, O.T like it's TNT

In South America rocking Rio with RiRi

You know that's, stadium status

When you started underground, you gotta make it to the attics

So I'm up in addict Focus, money is the only time I ADD

Going off more than ADT, making power moves like: back, forward, punch, kick, A, B, B

Boy this shit ABC's, shout out Detail, 7-11 we on the road

I'm on the sixth record off the album going gold

Last one woke they ass up like the morning show

I'm tryna make next year the greatest story ever told

Like, shit, goddamn, standing next to Jay and K, like man

Never took an L and I'm out there from where it's hard to make it this far when you this tan

I'm sayin' I'm Lil B with the right wrist

I realized time make money, it's priceless

So don't gas me up bitch, I'm a hybrid

I know you like it, I see the job's done before I see my eyelids

It's getting better every single day, that's what they told me

And I already wasn't fuckin' with the old me

Detail & Pharrell:

It's like I hit the light switch

Woah, yeah

I feel like I hit the light switch (yeah)

It's like I took my family into a new crib

Then I hit the light switch

I took my whole life and then I hit the light switch (Aww yeah)

So I'mma hop out and roll on 'em (yeah)

Hop out and roll on 'em

It's like a fresh pair of dice but I'm rolling on they life

I'mma roll on 'em (Yeah, say what?)

Hop out and roll on 'em

(I got the light switch, light switch)

Big Sean:

Look, what's life without risk?

If you take none, that's probably what you gonna get

This year I'm done with crazy hoes

If it's one thing I hate it's lazy hoes

Goddamn, if it's two things I hate, it's greedy hoes

One time for my girls that turn theyself into CEOs

Just know that you the finest

I like older girls that realize they got time left

I like young girls, but not girls young-minded

Ones that shine with you but they won't get blinded

We just went around the world in twenty-eight days

Shows selling more tickets than the matinees

Sold out everywhere, bad bitch cheer

All I gotta say is "What a year, what a year"

Up late, two, three, tryna get the mic skills

Riding 'round ATL, shout out my bro Mike-Will

Making sure the fam straight like they like they up in Mike will

Every Mike, Jordan, Tyson, Jackson

Need the, uh, Washingtons, Franklins, Jacksons

Got the crowd packed in, front in, back in

Like oh, please stop comparing me

You starting up a new whip? I'm starting up a charity

While you got new chains, my family out of debt nigga

Yeah, respect last longer than a check nigga

RIP for my ones who couldn't see the day

I really wish they would have saw me get a VMA

I know my grandma ain't here but it's cool cause as long as I'm around she gon' be here in my DNA

I went from broke to breaking records in the city where I live

While I was breaking that down, they broke into the crib

But they can't break the dream shout to the ones I dreamed with

I ain't rich 'til the whole team rich

It's like

Detail & Pharrell:

I hit the light switch

Woah, yeah

I feel like I hit the light switch (yeah)

It's like I took my family into a new crib

Then I hit the light switch

I took my whole life and then I hit the light switch (aww yeah)

So I'mma hop out and roll on 'em (yeah)

Hop out and roll on 'em

It's like a fresh pair of dice but I'm rolling on they life

I'mma roll on 'em (yeah, say what?)

Hop out and roll on 'em

(I got the light switch, light switch)

Detail:

I got your bills

Pull out the 'Ville

You got the healing

You know you bad ass

I got the light switch

Baby you know, I got the light switch

Woah
