Damn, has it been that long? (Haha)
Say what happened since I been gone, homie?
Y'all got the game all wrong man, it's too pretty in here (hmm)
Let's say we take it back to the trap one time
I went from rollin' wit' dem rocks on the block (hey)
To controllin' my position at the top
Of every chart and I will not, stop
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop (like we always do it 'bout this time)
Yeah we go, yeah we go (hey, hey, hey)
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know (you already know what time it is patna)
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know (don't look surprised now, nigga)
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop (yeah)
And we go, and we go (it's the king, bitch)
Ayy, in the middle of a fire, I'm so cool
Everybody wonder how I go through
All of this, half of which woulda broke you
Came out smellin' like a rose even more true
Worldwide, bi-coastal, local, niggas I respect
'Cause they more gold poster
'Cause I ain't got it, that don't mean there ain't no tool
You know Bankhead ain't raise no fool (yeah)
Playin' poker with the devil goin' all in
Kickin' doors open just to let my dogs in (come on)
So many rides never catch a nigga walkin'
In a G5 tryna fit a bunch of broads in (yeah)
Then we landin' laughin' (hahaha), chicks with fantastic asses (hey, hey, hey)
Extravagant habitats, as if we never seen tragic happen (hey, hey, hey)
Make magic happen with cash I'm actually catchin' magic
In the market for lavish mansions and NBA expansions
I was passin' out Phantoms in '04, so no dough ain't shit to me
Way past respect you see, but a nigga ain't even half as big as he finna be
I went from rollin' wit' dem rocks on the block
To controllin' my position at the top (Bankhead you hear what's happenin')
Of every chart and I will not, stop
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop
Yeah we go, yeah we go
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop (yeah)
And we go, and we go (go, go, go)
So fly, why would I wanna land for?
Everythin' you could ask for and more
Your choice, you could either be a fan or
Hate to see a nigga get a hundred grand for
Bein' a motherf*ckin' man, won't stand for
The rap wars, or the goin' back and forth
Nip it in the bud kill it like cancer
But when it rains, then it pours give a damn sure
In France, bonjour, merci, oui (merci, oui)
The same people on tour, on TV (that's us)
They signed him shoulda kept your receipt
Gotta refund 'cause you sure can't see me
Who keeps CD's on repeat, stuck in MP3's two, three weeks
At the gates on the day I was released (hey)
The only time you will ever see me free (whoa)
Big money J, much as you can get for it?
Atlantic Records say just make another hit for me
I tell 'em cut a hundred million dollar check for me
Like it or not, don't lose no respect for me
Never mind what I did, 'cause the best comin'
I'm the king in a game like chess to me
So put the cash in the bag
Give the rest to me, tell the pilot gas up the jet for me
I went from rollin' wit' dem rocks on the block
To controllin' my position at the top
Of every chart and I will not, stop
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop (I done came a long way from Riverdale, baby)
Yeah we go, yeah we go
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know (yeah), yeah you know (yeah)
Yeah you know (yeah), yeah you know (yeah), yeah you know (yeah), yeah you know (yeah, yeah)
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop (stand on the couch in the club)
And we go, and we go (go, go, go)
I got a new swag and it's a new day
Here we go again Tune, what it do Jay? (What up Tune?)
If you recall, I was the one who used to move yay
Now I gotta new Audemar with a blue face (blue face)
Hoppin' up in G4 jet, no suitcase, whole new wardrobe in a new place
Change clothes if a stain on my shoelace
T.I. roll like sushi, touché
If the king ain't back, who the hell am I?
Bringin' homicide to the gang, no alibi
Can't tell a lie to the judge, I'm guilty
Your honor do you mind the guy tried to kill me
I could still be (yeah), in the trap now (yeah)
AK 'round (yeah), little yay 'round (yeah)
100K downstairs by the trey pound
But if they wonderin' who runnin' the A now?
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know
Yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know, yeah you know
But we ride, then we roll, and you stop
And we go, and we go (it's the king, bitch)
Say, you know that we ride
In control we don't stop
We gon' blow when we drop
Let you know we on top
Girl we ride, then we roll, then you stop
And we go, and we go
Say, we roll and we ride
In control we don't stop
We gon' blow when we drop
Let you know we on top
Girl we ride, then we roll, then you stop
And we go, and we go (it's the king, bitch)
Prison ain't change me, it made me worse, right Pop?
If I want it, I'ma come get it
I ain't askin' for it, I'm a take it
We takers nigga
