Lyrics

I'm iller than most, sick with it, feeling the dose

I possess more skill and talent than most, feeling the impact of it.

In a butter soft leather but I'm still with the toast

Despite being in luxurious attire, I'm ready and armed for any situation.

Toast to bros, you know the millions is close

Toast to friends, acknowledging that success and wealth are within reach.

Feel the ghost of Notorious, tell me who the naughtiest

Feeling the influence of Notorious B.I.G., asking who is the most daring.

She get live like an audience

A woman is lively and energetic like an audience at a performance.

I do what I do, no need to state the obvious

I act according to my nature; there's no need to state the obvious.

Poli' with girls with bodies, uh

Socializing with attractive women with great bodies.

Poli' in hotel lobbies

Socializing in hotel lobbies, enjoying a joint with Bob Marley's poster in view.

Light a J, it's just me and Marley, look at the poster

Enjoying a joint alone, reminiscing about the past.

Do what I supposed to for the culture

Doing what is expected for the betterment of the hip-hop culture.

Early b-boy, down with d-boys, build and destroy

Early involvement in breakdancing, association with street-savvy individuals.

My pride and joy is my daughter named Omoye

Pride and joy come from his daughter, Omoye.

'Ye, that's my nigga from back in the day

Kanye West, a long-time friend from the past.

All that whoop-de-wah-whoop, man fuck what they say

Disregarding gossip and negative talk from others.

Played the lotto for my gram with a bottle in hand

Taking risks for a chance at success, symbolized by playing the lotto.

Lay it down for the world, for Chicago I stand, and

Committing to represent Chicago globally.


Yeah, yeah, they like that, I write raps from on top of the world

Gaining approval, writing impactful lyrics from a position of influence.

Popular girls always wanna pop in my world

Attractive women always want to be part of his world.

I pop out in the boroughs and go to L.A. to get hay

Travelling between boroughs and L.A., engaging in diverse experiences.

In the middle of the barn with a princess I laid

Recalling a romantic encounter in a barn with a princess.

Yo, this type of shit happens every um, once in a while

Unpredictable events happen occasionally.

You know I won't front with the style

Remaining authentic and true to personal style.

Bring life to the party like a woman and child

Bringing energy and life to social gatherings.

From the land of the humble and proud, summers is wild

From a place of humility and pride, where summers are intense.

Ah! Made the unmade-able

Achieving the seemingly impossible.

Ah! Go to parties I'm paid to go

Attending parties as a paid guest.

Me and cuzzo talked the hustle

Discussing business strategies with a cousin.

About doing good business like Rick and Russell

Focusing on ethical business practices inspired by Rick Ross and Russell Simmons.

You I know I guzzle red wine till it's bed time

Enjoying red wine until bedtime.

On my paper like headlines, she want the head shine e'ry time

Devoting attention to his career, making headlines.

My time, the streets is watching like a Rollie

Being aware that his actions are observed, like a Rolex watch.

Do it for the hometown and the homies, uh

Representing and doing it for his hometown and friends.
