Lyrics
Single version= [Hook:] I always wanted to stunt so hard I always wanted to ride that whip I always wanted to fuck that bitch Thank you God, I fucked that bitch I always wanted to live this life I always wanted to wear that ice I always wanted paradise I always wanted paradise

[Bridge 1:] Look, now it don't take a lot to make you rich I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit Man, I feel like money is the best drug Sometimes, hate can be the best love

[Verse:] Walkin' in like I got cameras on me Niggas can't control me, ain't no handles on me Shit don't get out of hand, it get handled, homie Got a pretty young girl look like Janet on me She a pretty penny and she know I'm doing numbers Till we crash up the whole database I bring it home like I'm base to base to base Closet lookin' like Planet of the Bathing Apes What you think this life just landed on me? My whole city look like it's abandoned, homie And we came straight out of those abandoned homies Every wish we ever had got granted, homie And I'll never take that shit for granted Even when the marble floor and counter top is all granite Back before I got paid any advances Back when my rollie was ticking, no dancing Nigga, never did I slip or I panic Even if I was the captain of Titanic Riding through the north Atlantic, homie I never jumped crew or abandoned, homie All the fruits of my labor organic, homie Making sure my family tree got hammocks on it And a good guy can change, 'specially if he saw change So fuck is my ransom, homie?

[Bridge 2 - x4:] Money bag, money bag, money bag

[Hook]

[Outro:] Straight up, Finally Famous, nigga I always wanted paradise Extended version= [Hook:] I always wanted to stunt so hard I always wanted to ride that whip I always wanted to fuck that bitch Thank you God, I fucked that bitch I always wanted to live this life I always wanted to wear that ice I always wanted paradise I always wanted paradise

Look, now it don't take a lot to make you rich I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit Man, I feel like money is the best drug Sometimes, hate can be the best love

Walkin' in like I got cameras on me Niggas can't control me, ain't no handles on me Shit don't get out of hand, it get handled, homie Got a pretty young girl look like Janet on me She a pretty penny and she know I'm doing numbers Till we crash up the whole database I bring it home like I'm base to base to base Closet lookin' like Planet of the Bathing Apes What you think this life just landed on me?
