Boi-1da - The Legacy of the Great Gatsby lyrics

[Instrumental: Pound Cake, Produced by Boi-1da, Matthew Burnett, and Jordan Evans] [Hook: Timbaland] Cash rules everything around me C.R.E.A.M. get the money, dolla-dolla bill y'all [Verse 1: Gatsby] Okay it's first name Jay, last name Gatsby I'm with your girl Daisy Yeah she's married… maybe But we still gonna have a baby I'm still gon' steal your shawty I'm still gon' throw that party While I'm sippin' on Bacardi That liquor it's all free, cause you know it's all on me Got every drink at the bar, screw a Prohibition policy Don't ask me how I got it, but I promise it's high quality Man, it wasn't easy making it in this economy Yeah it's G A T S B to the Y Get in my hydroplane, let's fly Don't even ask why It'll just be you and I You don't have to be shy Cause you're my ride or die Cake cake cake cake cake cake Got so much money I got a pound cake But yea I get that green Like the light I seen Just across the bay Just a mile away I see it everyday Livin' day by day [Verse 2: Gatsby (to Daisy)] Okay Daisy baby I was thinkin' lately, maybe You could be my lady It's crazy I could love you on the daily Everything gravy, it's wavy Ridin' in my Mercedes Don't be lazy let's go to town together even if it's rainy We haven't talked in awhile, where did the time go? You got a new style, I kind of like it though I was poor back then, but now I got a lotta dough Let's head to the altar, Daisy, we can get married yo [Verse 3: Tom Buchanan and Gatsby (to each other)] (Tom Buchanan) What the hell is going on? You tryna start a row? You're just a simple con You tryna stunt bro? You ain't who you say you are, you're James Gatz Unlike you, I spit facts You'll never get Daisy we all know you're a fake You know what? Just stay across that lake While I be eatin' this real steak This real cheesecake By the poundcake But nah, forreal though I really wanna know How'd you get that dough? (Gatsby) Pshhhh my parents bro (Tom Buchanan) Nah we all know better you a go getter, bootlegger No Wolfsheim, you'd be a beggar No cheddar A Debtor Bed wetter (Gatsby) But I got a Cashmere sweater Hella clothes in my dresser My jacket leather (Tom Buchanan) Psshhh whatever It don't matter I'm Daisy's protector You just send her love letters Cause you're a nobody, I'm a somebody We're not buddy buddy, it's not funny funny Cause fake fake fake fake fake fake Got rich quick but for your namesake You changed your name, for pete sake How many lies can somebody make? [Verse 4: Nick Carraway] I guess it's true - more money more problems Fancy cars and hydroplanes, I'm lucky I don't got ‘em Even if I had the money, I'm sure Jay's already bought ‘em Cause isn't it's his wealth that makes him so awesome? Nah, I don't wanna hear that one bit It's amazing how he did all this for Daisy isn't it? Does it even matter if his money's illegal like it's counterfeit? Going away to war and making stacks he ain't the type to quit And his personality was just so charismatic Perhaps because he was so idealistic and romantic Devoted his life to pleasing Daisy, he became an addict But it was her mistakes that k**ed him in the end, it's so damn tragic He just wasn't willing to face reality Shunning his own parents just cause they didn't make high salaries Trying to repeat the past and caught up in his fallacies Surrounded by wealth thinking “Cody would be proud of me” When George Wilson murdered him it took a lot out of me His controversial life consisted of romance and Hennessey But like it or not, that's his legacy The legacy of, The Great Gatsby
