[Intro: Monica & A$AP Ferg]
I'm just started tryna live that sweet life (Coo-coo)

[Verse 1: A$AP Ferg]
Came a long way feelin' on dirty bitches (Damn)
How I'm up in Dubai section with thirty bitches?
Pull-ups on monkey bars, doin' crunches on dirty benches (Right)
The hood was watchin' me drown, they wasn't sturdy niggas
Shit about to get real, everyone gettin' old (Yeah)
I watched niggas find they therapist in liquor stores
Some of my niggas got jealous, they see they man rose
New Year's Eve, Hov's kitchen with the Van Goghs (Coo-coo, damn)
Last time I seen Nipsey Hussle was on that evenin'
Family fly out to see me becausе niggas be creepin'
I off the fam like Frеdo if them niggas weaken (Damn)
I can feel the resentment every time niggas' speakin'
They congratulate you, then they let the anger sink in
Sleep one eye up (Right), you never see me blinkin'
Man, I just flex harder so they see me blingin'
Bowed down to the Lord, I left you niggas breathin' (Coo-coo, yeah)

And my accountants they jerked me, I let my mama do it (Uh)
My bank account wasn't movin', I was just feelin' useless (Yeah)
Keep risin' to the the top, well, let me prove it (That's right)
My stepmother told my brother that I couldn't do it (Yeah)
"You wouldn't be as big as Rocky when it come to music" (Uh)
But I didn't listen to her, I just strengthen through it (Yeah)

Renegotiate, I'm beyond rap, let's get into it (Yeah)
First rapper face for Tiffany's, said, "Fuck the jewelers" (Coo-coo)
Songs gettin' over a billion streams, my hits abusin' (Yeah)
On the level where everything is a trap now (Yeah)
