[Verse 2]
Wipe it down, bitch, I'm DeRay Davis
Thirty bitches in a suite up in Las Vegas
I'm goin' crazy, I got too much money
Hoes laughin' at me, what the fuck's funny? (Swag)
I'm DeRay Davis, I got these niggas hatin'
I'm on the TV screen, gettin' so much ratings (Woo)
Goddamn, they hate me (Swag, swag), goddamn, I'm on (Swag)
Yo' ho wanna fuck, I told her, "Kiss me through the phone" (Uh)
They call me Lil' Dre, AKA Lil' DeRay
I pull up to the club, man, you know I'm gettin' it straight (Go)
All day, every day, that's them ice carats (Go)
Nigga askin' for it, so I had to let him have it
Never disrespect, I swerve Bentleys up in traffic
The way I do my swag, man, it's just like gymnastics
I make that money flip so quick, it's so fantastic
Bitch, I'm DeRay Davis, all my couches wrapped in plastic (Huh)

[Chorus]
Goddamn, why these niggas hatin'? (Uh)
Ten chains on (Huh, uh), bitch, I'm DeRay Davis (Uh)
Pulled up to the club in a new Mercedes (Uh)

Ten chains on (Uh), bitch, I'm DeRay Davis (Uh)
Pulled up to the club in a new Mercedes (Uh)
Hoes laughin' at me (Uh), bitch, I'm DeRay Davis

Soulja Boy

DeAndre Cortez Way (b. July 28, 1990), better known as his stage name Soulja Boy, is a rapper, producer, and social media influencer born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in Atlanta, Georgia whose debut single “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and would hold that spot for seven non-consecutive weeks.

At 15 years old, Soulja began uploading songs to SoundClick and eventually moved to YouTube and MySpace. By March 2007, he came up with the concept behind “Crank That” and uploaded the song—and a video of its accompanying dance—online. Two months later, in May 2007, “Crank That” started to go viral. He signed to Interscope Records in the same month. By October, his major label debut album Souljaboytellem.com was released and peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. But critics quickly blasted his simplistic lyrics and unorthodox flows, questioning whether or not he’d just be a one-hit wonder.

“Crank That” earned him a Grammy nomination and he would continue to find success with the songs “Kiss Me Thru the Phone”, “Turn My Swag On”, and “Pretty Boy Swag”. He’s released mixtape after mixtape, left Interscope, made noise with rumors of signing with YMCMB and eventually launched own label Stacks on Deck Entertainment.
