[Intro]
All proceeds to my chain
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
VV's got me outside
Lambos got me outside
Chrome Heart got me outside
Louis got me outside
Bad hoes got me outside
Foes they got me outside
Benzos got you outside, that shit got you outside
These hoes got you outside
Lexus got you outside
Bad hoes got you outside
Young bitch got me outside
Out here playing outside
That zones got you outside side-side-side-side
Side-side-side-side
[Verse 1]
Sucking dick while she look up
Ain't wearing nothing but a push up
That'll make a n***a put The Glock down
Make a nerd n***a put the book up
Rolls Royce got me risking
Audemar got me whisking
Ritz Carlton got me fishing
Don't treat the bathroom like the kitchen, huh
But if it's Wagyu I'm with the shit then, huh
1 of 1 limited edition, huh
Saville Row all out in Britain, huh
I ain't eating unless it got a Michelin, huh
Jesus Piece I ain't even Christian, huh
At Christie's trying to get a Titian, huh
Can't appear mid like Egyptian, huh
Trying to get a bad bitch attention, huh
[Chorus]
VV's got me outside
Lambos got me outside
Chrome Heart got me outside
Louis got me outside
Bad hoes got me outside
Foes they got me outside
Benzos got you outside
That shit got you outside
These hoes got you outside
Lexus got you outside
Bad hoes got you outside
Young bitch got me outside
Out here playing outside
That zones got you outside side-side-side-side
Side-side-side-side
[Verse 2]
Six figures got me turning up
Outside sitting on furniture
Eight-room villa with the Pergola
I'm trying to get inside it like a burglar
Octagon bezel no circular
Stupid ass watch, ain't learn enough
Apple vision pro I'm in the virtual
No jet mean either ain't work enough huh?
Trying to drop a ticket at Lenix
And I graduated from the water tower
Finish line shit is finished
Oak Street the origin of all of ours
Serious business superior work ethic, clearly I'm in it
Bitch like million a minute material shit got me exterior with
[Chorus]
VV's got me outside
Lambos got me outside
Chrome Heart got me outside
Louis got me outside
Bad hoes got me outside
Foes they got me outside
Benzos got you outside
That shit got you outside
These hoes got you outside
Lexus got you outside
Bad hoes got you outside
Young bitch got me outside
Out here playing outside
That zones got you outside side-side-side-side
Side-side-side-side
[Verse 3]
List of the shit that I want (Brr)
Come with some shit that I don't (Nah)
All part of chasing a check (Yeah)
All part of wanting to flaunt (Ooh)
Vertu I pick up my phone (Phone)
Kick it with bitches in Rome (Rome)
Whip is expensive as homes (Homes)
No ceiling and glittering chrome, huh (Skrrt, skrrt)
[Chorus]
VV's got me outside
Lambos got me outside
Chrome Heart got me outside
Louis got me outside
Bad hoes got me outside
Foes they got me outside
Benzos got you outside
That shit got you outside
These hoes got you outside
Lexus got you outside
Bad hoes got you outside
Young bitch got me outside
Out here playing outside
That zones got you outside side-side-side-side
Side-side-side-side
[Outro]
All proceeds to my chain
