How Im suppose to stand out when everybody get dressed up?
~#**************#~
So, yeah, at the Grammys, I went ultra Travolta
~#**************#~
Yeah, that tuxedo might have been a little guido
~#**************#~
But with my ego, I can stand there in a Speedo
~#**************#~
And be looked at like a fucking hero
~#**************#~
The glory, the story, the chain, the polo, the night
~#**************#~
The grind, the empty bottles of No-Doz
~#**************#~
Tank on empty, whipping my momma Volvo

I spent that gas money on clothes with logos

The fur is Hermes, shit that you dont floss

~#**************#~
When you meet me in person, what do you feel like?
~#**************#~
I know, I know, I look better in real life
~#**************#~
I hear people compare themselves to big a lot
~#**************#~
You know, B.I.G. and Pac, you know to get it hot
~#**************#~
I guess after I live, I wanna be compared to B.I.G
~#**************#~
Any one: Big Pun, Big L or Notorious

‘Till then, get money and stunt and stay glorious
~#**************#~
And Ima stop killing these niggas soon as the chorus hit
