[Verse]

I don't think they really ready for my wardrobe

I show up right before the store close

And blow the fee from my last four shows

I do one song and use four flows

She used to be a Christian before

Now, all she wanna do is shop for Christian Dior clothes

Like, "Baby, those are cute, I adore those"

Me and the salesman build a rapport so

He understand the fact that I'm spending offshore dough

Cash-only transactions, homie

And please, no receipts—the feds like to explore those

They can't audit if they dont know I bought it

Been doing it for years, homie; thoroughly, I thought it...

Through, what it do? I am currently recording on a track

Admitting most of my currency’s imported

But too late now, it's too legitimate to hit 'em with...

A lawsuit, even if those are acts that I did commit

Repeat offender, Anita Baker playing in the whip

As they pull me over, "my sweet surrender"

I got a Jewish lawyer as my lead defender

A Menschkeit, as they say; he’s a legal bender

And ATF is present, every regal member

The coalition is so efficient

You have to be invited, or there's no admission

We know tradition, we spend money

So don't try to compete if you in no position

I wish you would listen

I take you back to this trial

Where I am about to be home again like New Edition

My foot is just solely fit for this shoe it fits in

Used to record in the basement that Renny grew his piff in

When Pops turned over keys like a new ignition

If Hov is Jordan, I guess I'm cool with Pippen

'Til I mention that I wanna play a new position

No team-playing, no screen-setting

"Because I wanna win games, Coach, I'm through assisting"

The takeover, the break's over, nigga

And I'ma keep killing 'em until the day that Drake's over

The wait's over, the tape's coming

They bullshitting, but I am equipped with great plumbing

The human mentality, so eager to hate something

And try to play it off like it ain't jumping

And it's the predicament that you found Drake in

The condo that I just purchased sound vacant

'Cause I have just been sittin' in this cell

Thinking what I could've done to make my first video groundbreaking

And whenever I'm flowing on the mic

Aside from talking 'bout the D I'm throwing in your wife

I treat this one session as if it were my last

And I pretend tomorrow is the day I'm going in for life, like that!
