Quotable Lyrics:
I’m well ahead, I do this sh*t heavenly
Simple, but I’m intricate (Uh), baby girl, don’t play with me (Yeah)
Couple nights in Big Sur (Uh), b*tch, I feel like Ellen Peace (Man)
All you got is looks and no pape’ (Uh) is what you tellin’ me (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
F**k it, I’ma ride my bike (Yeah), S-Works, specialized (Specialized)
Whole frame carbon fiber (Man), I really can’t stress about it (June)
Hit the bank six times (Uh), ni**a, that was all deposits (Uh)
Back when I had twenty toes (Yeah), everything was autopilot (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
