DAnd that's is loot,
DAnd a whole big bag of it!
Now I'm Bmspeaking from experience,
BmAnd when you're broke,
BmYou know you're getting those skinny ends
And if you're lucky like La DChatto,
DNow here's my motto,
Play it one by Eone,
EAnd make sure it's legato,
Straight up F#mMac, get in the Renault.
F#mNow see me smile,
F#mMy clothes are all from Margins,
F#mAnd I got my game tied,
And I'm Dplayin' with the girls
DStayes on my brain.
DAnd if I don't
DI'm gonna scream this shit on again.
It's all Bmgood,
BmI learned how to roll with punches
BmIn order for me to get a little some, some.
It Dwasn't the bomb
DBut you know I ain't complaining.
I Ethank the Lord
EAnd so I cherish it, uh.

So Dfunny, 'cause I as broke as a joke
DBut still the main thing
DTo hold my own.
SeBmlective checkin' my perspective.
Active when your blood is reacting.
DNegative 'cause all I speak
Is the truth.
All I Eneed is a roof
EAnd the rest is all good.
EI've played the Mac
EBut so does ev'rybody else.
EI'm blessed with my family
EAnd my friends.
EI choose a few in my life
EThat I cherish
EAnd you other player haters
EBetter just vanish.
[Bridge]
