[Hook: Mr. Porter]
They see my name and lifestyle and say I changed (how I be so raaawww)
They so cold... I know... that they're out to get me
And all those people I call my friends, let it go
That's why I never call on y'all, to be around
Cause you see how this money can change everything
[Verse 1: Busta Rhymes]
Geah! See I done came a long way and now I got me a chauffeur
Keep my enemies close, keep my friends even closer
Muhf**ers that I grew around, thought I could rock wit 'em
Watch my cake so hard, they burn a hole in my pocket
I see 'em coming from afar because I been through so much sh**
They plot a lot, hard or not, they see my dough come quick
Invested in my n***as, took the realtor route
Gambled on the wrong n***as, had to filter 'em out
Type of dudes that see my mother and they greet her respectful
Behind her back and see her son and try to give me a quick full
It's cool though, I f**s wit 'em even though I ain't wit it
That's why the gats be in the house whenever n***as come visit
Serve 'em drinks and welcome all to the law
For let ya drunk friend to show his true side until ya forced to cut him off
I seen it one too many times, your peeps be leaving you speechless
Sometimes having certain friends can end up being a weakness
See now my dogs turn to wolves and try to front me and surround me
Come up out they sheepskin and act all different around me

[Verse 2: Busta Rhymes]
Listen! Sometimes I smoke a cigarette and then I think and I choke on
How n***as steal this funny style and I was struggling broke
Even though it don't surprise me, sh** it's still kinda funny
When I ain't have, a n***a still would come and try to take from me
Instead of cutting my losses, being smart and just end sh**
n***as was trying to be loyal, just to maintain a friendship
In the wrong situation, plus there's always a sequel
I'm with the wrong muhf**ers, plus they 'pose to be people's
As I get more money, days get colder
I learned to realize that power only lies in the hands of the beholder
So then I start the heart-on-my-heart as I walk like a soldier
Moving so militant, you think I had a chip on my shoulder
Living by morals and principles mainly
Having heavy thoughts to a k** my brother every time them f**ers betray me
But now I'm winning with the strength of the nation
I promise that they not even foreseeing the size of the sh** they'll be facing
I'm Aftermath now, sh**'s getting worse
Now when those same "friends" see me goin hard that sh** be making 'em hurt
[Hook]
They see my name and lifestyle and say I changed (how I be so raaawww)

[Verse 3: Busta Rhymes]
Instead they getting together with me so we both can get rich
When I'm outta town, these n***as busy tryna f** with my b**h
Same n***as spend they money 'til the sh**'ll diminish
I hit 'em off and turn around and come right back when it finish
I said I'm tired of these n***as, that'll owe me so much sh**
That they can't pay me back for, f** all the dumb sh**
Sometime we can't forgive whatever balances off
'Specially when n***as cross the line that n***as never should cross
Realized and thus I state the same sh**, get the Range
The more money n***as get, sh** around you will change
Even though n***as'll flip and say, "You the one changed"
f** you, they do that just to justify takin your sh** from you
The more money I get, I get more dangerous stupid
Cause I been broke before, and I refuse to go back to it
And while I sweep these n***as up under the rug with a broom
If I never see these "friends" again, that sh**'ll be too soon
sh** is real like every wind in my breath
And that's on everything I love, BLOOD OF MY BLOOD! FLESH OF MY FLESH!
