Ay, ay, you gotta believe, you gotta believe,
Ay, ay, you gotta believe, you gotta believe

I used to hit the kitchen lights "lights" cockroaches everywhere
Hit the kitchen lights "lights", now it's marble floors everywhere "ha-ha"
Call the carpenter, the roof on the coups gone "jeah"
Give a fuck what he sold i'm the truth holms "that's right"
Kitchen fumed up, niggas jamming 2pac "jeah"
Get my Benni Hanna's on workin' 2 pots "damn"
Baby need shoes partner need bail money
Blood hound for the bread I just smell money
You niggas just write I recollect "recollect"
Hands on Jeezy really counted them checks "yea"
I'm Donald Trump in a white tee and white ones "yeah"
The conversation is money nigga, you want some? "ay"

[Chorus]
Ay, ay, ay you gotta believe, Ay, you gotta believe. Ay,
You ain't never seen them pies
I'm talkin' so much white, it'll hurt your eyes
I really lived it man, counting so much paper, it'll hurt your hands
"let's get it"

I'm what the streets made me, a product of my environment "jeah"
Took what the streets gave me, a product of my environment "ay"
Now it's 28 inches on a brand new hummer "humma"
Telling you right now it's gone be a cold summa "yeah"
Blew the brains out the Chevy call it suicide "Side"
It's a way of life that's how us young niggas ride "that's right"
Trap or die gave 'em hope

Ay, ay, ay you gotta believe, Ay, you gotta believe. Ay,
