GJust take it for his cash. It’s back, it's how we flaunt it.
CTake two and paFss, I’ll take two and blast.
GBust a mother fucker; I’m out on the smash.
CPimped out, high as fuck. FI’m out of control.
GHeads bounce, rocks quake now I’m ready to roll.

Dimmed out in the city where the sun burns slow,

no hope it’s a pity I can’t say no.

It’s not my time to go, it’s not my time to die,

the last thing I want is for my mother to cry

It was love at first light, the very first night,

things have never been the same since I took my first fight.

C F

The way I live my life, I love; I live lavish

Lost me from the start. You lose, you’ll never have it!

C F

Untouched, unleashed, back up you don’t want it.

Just take it for his cash. It’s back, it's how we flaunt it.

C F

Take two and pass, I’ll take two and blast.

Bust a mother fucker; I’m out on the smash.

C F

Pimped out, high as fuck. I’m out of control.

Heads bounce, rocks quake now I’m ready to roll.

C F G

Under the red hot moon.
