First thing's first, imma need my lil payment

My bro just got a big break, now he off the pavement

I'm Mr boy bye, so there ain't no way I'm staying

Now she in my phone cause she seeing that I made it
Receiving attention from someone now that success is evident.
Flip phone fetti, unfold it when I'm counting

She been looking for a rich man, all these shawties scouting
Noting the pursuit of wealthy individuals by others.
And I heard that they been looking at me, talking bout a offer
Aware of rumors or offers circulating about them.
But I told her I'm rapper baby, I am not a scholar

I just need a break

Cause I can't have no woman tryna get my for my cake
