Yah
Yeah(前奏sample from"A Garden of Peace” by Lonnie Liston Smith)
Big bag, got 'em big mad
超大购物袋 让别人也超级嫉妒
A nigga gettin' to some money and his bitch bad
不仅有钱妞也超正
Jumpin' out the Rolls truck with the temp tag
跳下带临时牌照的劳斯莱斯(在美国temp tag一般是二手汽车才会有,讽刺装作有钱其实只能买二手车)
I'm gettin' money, I don't get mad, ugh
我只拿钱从不会拿气受
Ask a nigga in my hood, he go and said it on stand
随便问一个在我的地盘上的人,他都会这样说
And when them situations came, I came out like a champ
当碰到特殊情况,我会向冠军一样闪亮脱身
When it was pourin' down rain and I came out of it damp
当下雨的时候,滴雨不沾身
But now it's champagne showers
但当我们成为冠军时
When we poppin' the champ', ugh
现在就是开香槟的时刻
We dodged all the feds and they traps
我们轻易躲开FBI和他们的陷阱
Niggas can't be us 'cause they rats
其他人不能成为我们因为他们都是过街老鼠
Stand tall, point a finger, never that
仰首挺胸,从不会变成过街老鼠

Went to the B, ain't get it back

Remember I was down bad, I'm talkin' under the cellar
记得我曾经啥都不是的时候,说话都不敢明面说
Now the Rolls Royces come with umbrellas
