| I perform in cities, hoods, and slums, the best seller is drugs | |
| And money is the only thing that get love | |
| They say don't let it make you, but that's how they rate you | |
| And the more you got, the more they hate you (That's okay too!) | |
| Just don't get in the way, 'cause at the end of the day | |
| My agenda's make sure | |
| I get them ends to get paid (uh-huh) | |
| So I'm stackin grands 'til the math expand | |
| It's the man with the master plan | |
| Since the | |
| Bambino, cash made my path cross with evil | |
| Uno dos cinco on a crowded corner rollin c-lo | |
| To chips and the chick in the casino pourin | |
| Cliquot'Cause now | |

| I walk these streets, think like | |
| I got a gun in my hand'cause hatin is the nature of man(Sometimes I wanna, stop the cameras, just pop the hammerBox the innocent bystander and his man up) | |

| The angle is make sure the payroll stay swoll | |
| Big faces, cake dough and di-nay-ros | |
| Rubels, yen yang, euros and pesos | |
| Seven digit figures, tryna make more zay-ros | |
| Spray holes in whoever in the way so (Stay outta my waaaay) | |
| While I count the next bundle (that's right)"All means necessary," | |
| Malcolm X hustle | |
| A threat yet humble, about to flex muscle | |
| Get a big amount then | |
| I'm in and out the next jungle' | |
| Cause every other day, | |
| I'm in another state | |
| It's like | |
| I cross the thin line between love and hate | |
| But I gotta eat, gotta get another plate | |
| So I'm on my cake walk for the cake[Chorus] | |
| Just stay outta my waaaay..(It's what they do..) | |
| Just stay outta my waaaay.. |
