[Intro: Rick Ross]

Maybach Music

It's deeper than the verse, baby

It's deeper than the rap


[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]

Doin' a hundred fifty miles and runnin'

Get up in my way, then you know that I'm gunnin'

Laugh about the dough, but really ain't nothin' funny

Gettin' rich in a rush, yeah, you know us

We the usual suspects

The real definition of success

Blowin' money 'cause I can and I love it

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

You know them boys on the block tryna take us in

Because we bringin' all of that paper in

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects


[Verse 1: Rick Ross]

Seventeen, time to man up

Feed the fam, boy, I put that on these canned goods

All I got was diabetes and a damn hug

People talkin' down, callin' me a damn scrub

Young niggas, all you wanna do is roam free

On your own feet, got to cook your own beef

I'm too cool for lame dudes to ridicule

I laugh while I'm doin' laps in the swimming pool

I don't owe you niggas nothin'

Throw me two fingers when you see a nigga stuntin'

Black Philip Drummond, limousines or the Hummer

Penthouse suite, pretty beach, I call her Summer

Lot of homies passed, see 'em in the future

Runnin' so fast, on the gas, never neutral

Gotta keep a shooter while I'm ridin' in the 7

Higher than a kite by the time I get to Heaven


[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]

Doin' a hundred fifty miles and runnin'

Get up in my way, then you know that I'm gunnin'

Laugh about the dough, but really ain't nothin' funny

Gettin' rich in a rush, yeah, you know us

We the usual suspects

The real definition of success

Blowin' money 'cause I can and I love it

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

You know them boys on the block tryna take us in

Because we bringin' all of that paper in

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects


[Verse 2: Nas]

And still my talent is yet to be challenged

Had no jet with my own pilot, no blastin' off with Flex or DJ Khaled

My mom stressin' college

But my crude sense of logic did allude to my empty wallet

Try spittin' on a green tinted Accord

Which could mean a sentence up North, where the homie was

But back then dough was like a whore that Goldie love, it didn't exist

And Officer Foley cuffs was after my wrists

Was not Beverly Hills where we chilled, imagine this

The Nazareth had to get from rags to rich

I used to stand on rooftops with two Glocks

Figurin', how do I turn my Timberlands to Crocs?

Now reptiles was left out, I'm 'bout a watch, what is you thinkin'?

Murk you, plus the muscle that you bringin' is nothing to me

If you thuggin' or fake and shanked on Cuban, shout out my Ricans

Dealt with all of you gangstas from the roughest Jamiacans and Haitians


[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]

Doin' a hundred fifty miles and runnin'

Get up in my way, then you know that I'm gunnin'

Laugh about the dough, but really ain't nothin' funny

Gettin' rich in a rush, yeah, you know us

We the usual suspects

The real definition of success

Blowin' money 'cause I can and I love it

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

You know them boys on the block tryna take us in

'Cause we bringin' all of that paper in

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects


[Verse 3: Rick Ross]

If you follow physics, nigga, money never float

Meanin' every day I'm livin' tryna stay afloat

Comin' from a boss, I can predict a double cross

Handlers managin' money they never come across

Aspen to Africa, magnanimous numbers involved

AK-47s singin' winter, by summer you fall

I dealt with broads and those willin' to sell they soul

Over cars and clothes, man, I'm talkin' petty hoes

As my fetti grow, fuck her, feed her Spaghetti-Os

I'm club hoppin' in Cali, shout out to Harry-O

Somebody dim the lights, triple black tux

Keyser Söze in the flesh, it's time to catch up

I run with niggas who destined to get a life sentence

Get they baby mama a Lexus for them nice visits

My nigga got a dub and love to do the push-ups

I got a million cash, tryna get the kush up


[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]

Doin' a hundred fifty miles and runnin'

Get up in my way, then you know that I'm gunnin'

Laugh about the dough, but really ain't nothin' funny

Gettin' rich in a rush, yeah, you know us

We the usual suspects

The real definition of success

Blowin' money 'cause I can and I love it

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

You know them boys on the block tryna take us in

'Cause we bringin' all of that paper in

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

A hundred fifty miles and runnin'

Get up in my way, then you know that I'm gunnin'

Laugh about the dough, but really ain't nothin' funny

Gettin' rich in a rush, yeah, you know us

We the usual suspects

The real definition of success

Blowin' money 'cause I can and I love it

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects

You know them boys on the block tryna take us in

'Cause we bringin' all of that paper in

From nothin' to somethin'

You know us, we the usual suspects
