(Hook)
Wishing I could wrap my whole life up in 24 karats of gold
Lately I've been dreaming 'bout diamonds and pearls
Yup, diamonds and pearls, and enough money I could rule the world
If I ruled the world (x7)
(Verse 1: Big Sean)
If I ruled the world, I would buy it all
I'm addicted to champagne and buying the mall
I'm addicted to living life above the law
How much do it take to live above the law?
I call my homie Ralph up, cause his car stop
Told him bump a new car, come grab the car lot
That way you can have convertibles, and a hard top
Open up a few doors, since we had a hard knock, life
Like, open up, Where restaurants and legs stay opened up
Start a franchise
sponsored links
So my dog can quit wearing a 44 up on his waist like it's his pants size
And to my OG locked up bumping Ready or Not
Who was just trying to do it big, but wasn't ready to die
Cop a first cla** whatever he like, with hoes already inside
Now he can rest in peace while he alive

(Verse 2: J. Cole)
Is this a dream, well that's how it feels
Sometimes I got to pinch a fat a** to see if it's real
I specifically remember, no heat in the winter
Now I supply heat for the winter
Then I skate to the beach for the winter
When it comes to chips boy, n***a get a grip
No cleats I'm a winner
Show love to the hoes and the freaks I remember
Hit the club and raise Hell all week for the sinners
Meet a young Dennis, the menace of society
Check my sobriety, f** hoes in varities
Shame that these things is the reasons you admire me
But, I'm getting dough, man, these flows gon' retire me
Splurging all crazy, switching lanes in the range swerving all crazy
Style on the dial, I've been serving ya'll lately
Cheddar on Federer
Ball 'till I fall, et cetera, et cetera

Great whilin back, stitchin on the train
Same sling playing jame
It’s strat and it’s crispy, 24 karats
Gazelles, clear be, I’m so fly real yea
Price whole I feel weary besides k**in gear
It’s sniffin plain white lines
But jumpin our phenomenal mission,
Yup drug sellers, that was in 88
Learned how to true
They shoot through my covascate, my uncle huskey karate n***a
Died who stayed in jail
He did a 20 piece and came home block movin, still who he is
To us and his kids he said get rich and love life
Don’t f** with no pigs, yo them days of the haze
No we in chronic mode, no more plays
Runnin up and robbin close to whom or what
All we had is us and it s**s
Them fly n***as is broke
Smoking coke, weed and dust, I changed for the better
Brand new beretta
Slappin n***a faces, you still give me your leather
Doin all, I learned a lot
Plus I burned a lot the crown bees now we turn the clock
