Description

Here, the energy is palpable from the very first lines - dense and thick, like smoke from expensive cigars in a closed room. The world of the “rich and famous” sounds hollow: cars with panoramic roofs, houses on acres of land, but behind all the glitz, there is a habit of keeping up appearances. Every line is either bragging or a mantra about endurance and the ability to keep going, even when you're on the edge of a cliff. More than a rap about status, it's a reminder: true luxury comes when you can stand your ground and remain true to yourself.

Lyrics and translation

Original

Yeah
Uh, uh-uh, bitch
Uh, yeah
Turn me up in the headphones, man, yeah
That′s right
It feel like dark aura, nigga
Yeah, check it out
Yeah
verse
Lifestyles of the rich and famous
Custom-fitted shoes, tailored waistband, tuck the stainless
Gotta move swift and dangerous, they gon' have to lift them wages
You ain′t talkin' money, you must be talkin' a different language
Independent mindset, we ain′t fuckin′ with the majors (nah)
Can't get back our time spent (nah), gotta treat it like it′s sacred (facts)
House on a couple acres (ah), ain't no love for the fakers (what else?)
Three-car garage, and the driveway so spacious
Perfect place to park the spaceship, sky view′s panoramic
Laid-back in the Maybach, I know they can't stand it
Got me thinkin′ 'bout way back, 'bout times we couldn′t manage (uh-huh)
Now we ballin′, runnin' plays back, home court advantage
They watch but can′t understand it, they Rollie's timing off (tick, tick)
I′m clocked in, 24-7, but never signin' on (tick, tick)
Can′t be boxed in, not him, forever shinin' on
All y'all, I been locked in, I′m in my Goyard bag, nigga
I′m that nigga, I thought I told y'all
I′m back, nigga, these rap niggas know they can't-
bridge
Know they can′t, uh
Ayo, look, uh
verse
Please don't push me, I′m too close to the edge
Gotta know the ledge, knowledge is power, that's what my OG said
Get your bread, don't be misled, you know these streets is dead
Gotta stay a few steps ahead, keep the family fed (yeah)
Life is hard, hold your head, never let them see you sweat
Every loss is a lesson, that′s the secret of success (of success)
Can′t forget to count your blessings, gotta keep your soul in check
I give it all I got until it's nothin′ left, that's why they gotta show respect
Payin′ all my dues and debts (yeah)
Livin' life with no regrets (yeah), never take kindly to threats (no)
I don′t even take offense if it ain't directly addressed
They try to push my buttons, I ain't even pressed
Gotta stay stuntin′, know my light can never be suppressed (never)
Spirit got me on every quest (uh-huh)
The journey of a thousand miles begin with a single step
Uh, I keep my foot on these niggas′ necks
Head up on a swivel, stayin' ready for whatever′s next
outro
(Let's go, nigga) yeah, yeah
Ayo
Grrt
