[Verse 1]

Ayo I’m goin' places, Dior Homme lacin' all occasions

And Lord gave me amazing thinking and short patience

Lay solo, forever flashy though I hate photos

Date four hoes, make her smile and make her moan though

Lady charmer, put armor by your baby mama

I hate to say it a later moment I didn’t warn ya

High roller, big spender

And my intentions to keep her on the sack, you just Saks Fifth her

I’m that different, this cat can react mad pimpish

I gathered a couple hundred thousand, I can’t remember

They keep talkin' and we keep winning

Why niggas never say capisce until police chalk em

Because of my bitch that's talkin', givin' her head, the streets will follow

I come from a place where niggas my age ain't placed to see tomorrow

To each his own but each of them is known to steal or rob you

But jails are overpopulated but know there's seats in college

And those are the least of problems, I speak to God he says I'm alright

My vision funny, though 20/20's my hindsight

Bad bitches with me, real niggas with me

Whole ghetto with me mixin Ketel with the Simply

Like the sweet anguish, find your peace baby

I know the millions you get come with a billion haters, yea


[Chorus]

Forgive me, I’m a rider

Sure I’m just a simple man

All I want is money, fuck the fame

I’m a simple man, lawd

You know that I’m a rider

Tell 'em just a simple man

All I want is money, fuck the fame

I’m a simple man, lawd


[Verse 2]

I’m pickin' apart, my wicked opponents

Get in my zone

Niggas can't join us, so, these niggas done cloned us

Look at me close, see the results you see a nigga a loner

Cause all of the bitches that's giving me grief also be given me boners

Blow up in rap, young and you black

Niggas be blowin' your phone up

Whenever you don’t, lose you a homie, ho

Adult from show cuz

If you get that, then roll up

If you get that, that’s no love

Every move you make they got lip

Every chick you like done got kids

And forget that chick had brought friends

Every jay you hit you need vent

Every friend you got, got M.O's

I’m in a game, even with a deep bench

I'mma ball like small fro Kobe

Without the 8, but all the hate though

Pockets thicker all my niggas, ain't the same though

I just came up, fuck is you sayin' though

Gave the business my heart, it just gave me the finger

Nigga, yeah


[Chorus]

Forgive me, I’m a rider

Sure I’m just a simple man

All I want is money, fuck the fame

I’m a simple man, lawd

You know that I’m a rider

Tell 'em just a simple man

All I want is money, fuck the fame

I’m a simple man, lawd
