Quotable Lyrics:
‘Cause brodie said don’t even press the issue
Yellow boogers in my ear lobe, I need a tissue
Oh my God, I’m really that guy, huh
Yeah, b*tch, I’m outside (Grr)
LaFerrari popping on the 40 with the 5 (Huh)
One ticket, two ticket, three ticket, four million
Put that lil’ Maybach truck in the garage, huh
