## Lyrics

* Single version
* Extended version

[Hook:]

I always wanted to stunt so hard

I always wanted to ride that whip

I always wanted to fuck that bitch

Thank you God, I fucked that bitch

I always wanted to live this life

I always wanted to wear that ice

I always wanted paradise

I always wanted paradise

[Bridge 1:]

Look, now it don't take a lot to make you rich

I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit

Man, I feel like money is the best drug

Sometimes, hate can be the best love

[Verse:]

Walkin' in like I got cameras on me

Niggas can't control me, ain't no handles on me

Shit don't get out of hand, it get handled, homie

Got a pretty young girl look like Janet on me

She a pretty penny and she know I'm doing numbers

Till we crash up the whole database

I bring it home like I'm base to base to base

Closet lookin' like Planet of the Bathing Apes

What you think this life just landed on me?

My whole city look like it's abandoned, homie

And we came straight out of those abandoned homies

Every wish we ever had got granted, homie

And I'll never take that shit for granted

Even when the marble floor and counter top is all granite

Back before I got paid any advances

Back when my rollie was ticking, no dancing

Nigga, never did I slip or I panic

Even if I was the captain of Titanic

Riding through the north Atlantic, homie

I never jumped crew or abandoned, homie

All the fruits of my labor organic, homie

Making sure my family tree got hammocks on it

And a good guy can change, 'specially if he saw change

So fuck is my ransom, homie?

[Bridge 2 - x4:]

Money bag, money bag, money bag

[Hook]

[Outro:]

Straight up, Finally Famous, nigga

I always wanted paradise

[Hook:]

I always wanted to stunt so hard

I always wanted to ride that whip

I always wanted to fuck that bitch

Thank you God, I fucked that bitch

I always wanted to live this life

I always wanted to wear that ice

I always wanted paradise

I always wanted paradise

Look, now it don't take a lot to make you rich

I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit

Man, I feel like money is the best drug

Sometimes, hate can be the best love

Walkin' in like I got cameras on me

Niggas can't control me, ain't no handles on me

Shit don't get out of hand, it get handled, homie

Got a pretty young girl look like Janet on me

She a pretty penny and she know I'm doing numbers

Till we crash up the whole database

I bring it home like I'm base to base to base

Closet lookin' like Planet of the Bathing Apes

What you think this life just landed on me?

My whole city look like it's abandoned, homie

And we came straight out of those abandoned homies

Every wish we ever had got granted, homie

And I'll never take that shit for granted

Even when the marble floor and counter top is all granite

Back before I got paid any advances

Back when my rollie was ticking, no dancing

Nigga, never did I slip or I panic

Even if I was the captain of Titanic

Riding through the north Atlantic, homie

I never jumped crew or abandoned, homie

All the fruits of my labor organic, homie

Making sure my family tree got hammocks on it

And a good guy can change, 'specially if he short-changed

So fuck is my ransom, homie?

Money bag, money bag, money bag

[x4]

[Hook]

Straight up, Finally Famous, nigga

I always wanted paradise

Aw damn I'm illuminated, man, I knew I make it

And I get that shit accumulated

Never throwing money out, I boomerang it

Finally famous over everything, that's a numerator

Weed lit, yeah it's luminated, room lookin' like it's fumigated

Bitch my crew invaded, when I walk in man, they body to body

Hol' up everybody, don't worry I got it, I got it

I need a hundred dolla bill photocopy the email and copy

I'm going hard all season these hoes goin' both ways, offense, defense

Livin' life on the deep end, F-F allegiance

Beat the odds and got even

What you think, that we just started nigga?

Boy the sword just got sharper nigga

This ain't war we just sparring nigga

I was on the rooftop with my nigga

Mike Carson nigga, shootin' that Too Fake video

My niggas we all in, we set ourselves apart from all our apartments

What's up in Florida, no Marlins nigga

I'm that Shawn, no Marlon nigga

Look at my girl nigga, fuck yo bae list

Fuck yo night list, fuck yo day list, fuck yo playlist

I'm from the D, fuck your A-listI been working 8 days a week

I don't even know what the fuck today is

I hit the booth and I just went super saiyan

I run with the purp like I play with the Ravens

These bitches ran a rave and

Hope I never have to go back watching, Everybody Loves Raymond

Eating ramen nigga, this paradise

Life's a fucking paradox, a pair of dice

If they not rolling with you, then they parasites

Nigga I had that vision, it was ClearSight nigga
