[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout them drugs
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that love
For myself and all my niggas
All my bches and all my thugs, what’s up?
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout that work
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that worth
Of myself and all my niggas
Every diamond came out the dirt, nigga

[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
I got bches on bches, all my dreams and my visions
I remember me fishin’ out of canls in the trenches
Now a nigga be flossy, Rolls Royce lookin’ glossy
Quick to put down a demo to get these haters up off me
I like to smoke to myself, I just try to improve
Let my son hold my strap while I swim laps in the pool
Told my daughter the rules which we all must abide
Your daddy was far from perfect, things we did to survive
I just wanted to fly, they always lookin’ down on us
School district full of killers, I mean these niggas ferocious
Only violence and drugs, there was nothin’ for us
All I had was this music, I couldn’t afford to do much

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout them drugs
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that love
For myself and all my niggas
All my bches and all my thugs, what’s up?
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout that work
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that worth
Of myself and all my niggas
Every diamond came out the dirt, nigga

[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T.]
Young nigga say, ball
’Cause he ain’t really livin’ life ‘less he’s down to roll the dice
Put it all on the line for a couple dollars
And a bad bch that only think about him if he, call
Is it really worth the time and the effort?
Chasin’ wood grain and the leather
Puttin’ pressure on the pedal, I don’t want the devil
Hopin’ he, fall
Feed him to his nonsense, mothafk a contract
You don’t need a handout, they gon’ bring the bands out
Choppas make ‘em stand down, good Lord
But you don’t wanna be another nigga
Chasin’ figures that never really add up
White folk pass your face
Dyin’ in the grass ‘cause they wouldn’t call the, law
’Cause you’re hooded, black and they think you’re sellin’ crack
Maybe so, you don’t give a fk in a rut, nigga
’Til those in the street got you stuck, nigga, what, nigga?
Buck, buck, nigga
Buried your partner just the other day knowin’ he was too young
Had a tool, tryna roll on the folk
Let it go on the folk but he wasn’t down to shoot one
Though the time dead and gone, is YOLO what we on?
I heard different, it’s never too late to listen and be reborn
Young nigga, young nigga, young nigga, go be reborn
Peace and understandin’ is what you should be on

[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout them drugs
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that love
For myself and all my niggas
All my bches and all my thugs, what’s up?
’Cause I got chillin’ by the million, tranquillo by the kilo
Nigga, nigga, what, and I got kilos by the speedboat
And I ain’t talkin’ ‘bout that work
I’m talkin’ ‘bout that worth
Of myself and all my niggas
Every diamond came out the dirt, nigga
