## Lyrics

**[Intro: Post Malone]**

Mm-mmm

Yeah, yeah

Mm-mmm

Yeah (Hey)

**[Chorus: Post Malone]**

My mama called, seen you on TV, son

Said shit done changed ever since we was on

I'd dreamt it all ever since I was young

They said I wouldn't be nothing

Now they always say, "Congratulations" (Uh, uh, uh)

Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation (Uh-huh)

They ain't never had the dedication (Uh, uh)

People hatin', say we changed and look, we made it (Uh, uh)

Yeah, we made it (Uh, uh, uh)

**[Verse 1: Post Malone]**

They was never friendly, yeah

Now I'm jumping out the Bentley, yeah

And I know I sound dramatic, yeah

But I know I had to have it, yeah

For the money, I'm a savage, yeah

I be itching like a addict, yeah

I'm surrounded, twenty bad bitches, yeah

But they didn't know me last year, yeah

Everyone wanna act like they important (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

But all that mean nothing when I saw my dough, yuh (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

Everyone countin' on me, drop the ball, yuh (Yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah)

Everything custom like I'm at the border, yeah, yeah

If you fuck with winning, put your lighters to the sky

How could I make cents when I got millions on my mind?

Coming with that bullshit, I just put it to the side

Balling since a baby, they could see it in my eyes

**[Chorus: Post Malone & Quavo]**

My momma called, seen you on TV, son

Said shit done changed ever since we was on

I dreamed it all ever since I was young

They said I wouldn't be nothing

Now they always say, "Congratulations" (Congratulations)

Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation (Ooh)

They ain't never had the dedication (Uh, uh, ayy)

People hatin', say we changed and look we made it (Uh, uh)

Yeah, we made it (Uh, uh, uh, yeah)

**[Verse 2: Quavo]**

I was patient (Yeah, oh)

I was patient (Ayy, ooh)

Now I can scream that we made it (We made it!)

Now everywhere, everywhere I go, they say 'gratulation (Ooh)

Young n\*gga, young n\*gga, graduation (Yeah)

I pick up the rock and I ball, baby (Ball)

I'm looking for someone to call, baby (Brr)

But right now, I got a situation (Ayy)

Never old Ben-Ben Franklins (Cash)

Big rings (Ooh), champagne (Champagne)

My life is like a ball game (Ball game)

But instead, I'm in the trap though (Trap though)

Pot so big, call it Super Bowl (Super Bowl)

Super Bowl, call the hoes (Brr), get in the Rolls (Skrrt)

Top-floor lifestyle (Top), Huncho and Post (Yeah, ayy)

Malone (Ayy), I gotta play on my phone (Ayy)

You know what I'm on (Ayy), Huncho Houdini is gone (Ayy)

[Chorus: Post Malone & Quavo]

My momma called, seen you on TV, son

Said shit done changed ever since we was on

I dreamed it all ever since I was young

They said I wouldn't be nothing

Now they always say, "Congratulations" (Ayy, uh, uh, uh)

Worked so hard, forgot how to vacation (Uh-huh, ooh)

They ain't never had the dedication (Ayy, uh, uh)

People hatin', say we changed and look we made it (Yeah, uh, uh)

Yeah, we made it (Ayy)

**[Outro]**

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey
