Part 1: Pound Cake. [Intro: Christian Rich and Utters]. "Good God Almighty. Like back in the old days. You know years ago they had the A&R men to tell you. What to play how to play it and you know. Whether it's disco and rock. But we just went in the studio and we did it. We had champagne in the studio of course. You know compliments of the company. And we just laid back and did it. So we hope you enjoy listening to this album. half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you. Because we had a ball. Only real music is gonna last. all the other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow... ". [Hook]. Cash rules everything around me. C. R. E. A. M. get the money dolla-dolla bill y'all. [Verse 1: Drake]. After hours of Il Mulino. Or Sotto Sotto just talkin' about women and vino. The contract like '91 Dan Marino. I swear this got Michael Rapino boostin' my ego. Overly focused it's far from the time to rest now. Debates growing 'bout who they think is the best now. Took a while got the jokers out of the deck now. Holdin' all the cards and niggas wanna play chess now. I hear you talkin' say it twice so I know you meant it. Fuck it I don't even tint it they should know who's in it. I'm authentic real name no gimmicks. No game no scrimmage I ain't playin' with you niggas at all. My classmates they went on to be chartered accountants. Or work with their parents but thinkin' back. on how they treated me. My high school reunion might be worth an appearance. Make everybody have to go through security clearance. Tables turn bridges burn you live and learn. With the ink I could murder word to my nigga Irv. Yeah I swear shit just started clickin' dog. You know it's real when you are who you think you are. [Hook]. [Verse 2: Jay Z]. I had Benzes 'fore you had braces. The all black Maybach but I'm not a racist. Inside's whiter than Katy Perry's face is. Yellow diamonds in my Jesús. I just might learn to speak Mandarin. Japanese for the yen that I'm handlin'. International Hov that's my handle. My saint's Sean Don light a candle. El Gran Santo on the mantle. 'case y'all didn't know I speak Spanish too. Shoutout to Worldwide Wes. Everywhere we go we leave a worldwide mess. Yes still Roc La Familia. Says a lot about you if you not feelin' us. The homie said "Hov there ain't many of us". I told him less is more nigga it's plenty of us. [Hook]. [Verse 3: Jay Z]. Cake cake cake cake cake cake. 500 million I got a pound cake. Niggas is frontin' that's upside-down cake. Get 'em a red nose they clown cakes. They shoulda never let you 'round cake. Look at my neck I got a carrot cake. Now here's the icing on the cake. Cake cake-cake cake-cake. I'm just gettin' started oh yeah we got it bitch. I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did. Dame made millions Bigg made millions. Ye made millions Just made millions. Lyor made millions Cam made millions. Beans tell you if he wasn't in his feelings. I'm back in my bag. My eyes bloodshot but my jet don't lag. A pair of Jordan 3's tryna chase this cash. Gucci air bag just in case we crash. Uh last night was mad trill. I'm fresh out of advil Jesus grab the wheel. Part 2: Paris Morton Music 2. [Verse 1: Drake]. Fuck all that happy to be here shit that y'all want me on. I'm the big homie they still be tryna lil bro me dog. Like I should fall in line like I should alert niggas. When I'm 'bout to drop somethin' crazy. and I say I'm the greatest of my generation. Like I should be dressin' different. Like I should be less aggressive and pessimistic. Like I should be way more nervous and less dismissive. Like I should be on my best behavior. And not talk my shit and do it major like the niggas. who paved the way for us. Like I didn't study the game to the letter. And understand that I'm not doin' it the same man. I'm doin' it better. Like I didn't make that clearer this year. Like I should feel I don't know guilty for saying that. They should put a couple more mirrors in here. so I can stare at myself. These are usually just some. thoughts that I would share with myself. But I thought "Fuck it". It's worth it to share 'em with someone else. more than Paris for once. I text her from time to time she a mom now. I guess sometimes life forces us to calm down. I told her she could live with me if she need to. I got a compound but I think she's straight. Cause she supported. since Hot Beats right before Wayne came. And got me out of the backroom. where I was rapping with Jas over beats. I shouldn't have in the hopes for the glory. He walked right past in the hallway. 3 months later I'm his artist. He probably wouldn't remember that story. But that shit stick with me. Always couldn't believe when he called me. You never know it could happen to you. And I just spent four Ferraris all on a brand new Bugatti. And did that shit cause it's something to do yeah. I guess its just who I became dog. Nothing was the same dog
