And yeah we gotta moved to gated residential
Grinding for the Rollie, presidential
Working hard to get a brighter bezel
Tryna get myself a tighter schedule
Busy days for me are preferential
Making moves I keep em confidential
Snakes up in the gra** is consequential
No new friends I don't trust they're credentials

In 1997 just to be exact
Dodging all the potholes on my road to stacks
