[Chorus]

This is why, this is me, this is I

This is why I'm fly, got what money can't buy

Was falling from the sky in The Firm bumping God

Feeling like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

No lie, gotta stay fly, love feeling

Like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

Got what money can't buy

Floating in the front through the streets of EMI


[Verse 1]

Salute to the 40 plus, our story is tough

Nowadays, I'm with Sandra pay slurring, pour me a cup

Boot up, what's disturbing is I'm horny as fuck

The king of rough couldn't tell me, wasn't corny to cuff

Now I'm stuck, it's just her, hoes been on me enough

Learn my lesson, Mama bear been warned me on trust

I'm done, already one, did it all under the sun

You never know when your number'll come

Enjoy it, trap money or unemployment

Upfront if you're paying stallments, just stay for warrants

I move like it's nothing to lose, neck with jewels

My visor's really based on my vibe, I rep the who

So let's bless the fool and say grace on what's taking place

Paper chase, a few acres on her estate

Still gates, Dior drakes and gold plates

Move at slow pace, homie humble but hold weight

Cozy, the hitters know me, rock rollies

Did it for Dolie, this the old me, bottles of Moët

I'm season, still greiving, that Billy on the buck is the reason

Won't stop 'til I touch it, we even


[Chorus]

This is why, this is me, this is I

This is why I'm fly, got what money can't buy

Was falling from the sky in The Firm bumping God

Feeling like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

No lie, gotta stay fly, love feeling

Like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

Got what money can't buy

Floating in the front through the streets of EMI


[Verse 2]

Knick games (Knick games) Thick chains (Thick chains)

Wrist plain, champagne in my dick vein

Wish came since the shawty on the six-train switched lanes

Life story like Rick James, shit strange

I can see it more clearer, a Ghostface cheffer

But I'm more like RZA, Fendi goose rep for that all-white winter

In hindsight, Iron Mike was my mentor

Been poor, going through it make you get to it

Kids do it, wish B.I.G. was here to view it

Started from the bottom now I'm here, fresh cut

Always got 'em with the gear, bless up

It's been official when you instrumental

My youth sicker, so inclusive, no incidentals

Inferential, could show you how to go global

Young old school, the soul food, know I'm noble


[Chorus]

This is why, this is me, this is I

This is why I'm fly, got what money can't buy

Was falling from the sky in The Firm bumping God

Feeling like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

No lie, gotta stay fly, love feeling

Like I'm floating on a five-dollar high

Got what money can't buy

Floating in the front through the streets of EMI
