Lyrics

Now if you got that real ice on your jewlez you off the hook/

If you have genuine, high-quality jewelry, you're impressive.

real niggas rock real things that's a good look/

Authentic individuals wear real things, and that's commendable.

but if you wearin cubic zicornia and you put fake minks on your back that's not a good look/

Wearing fake jewelry and faux fur is not admirable.
