[Intro: Rick Ross]
G#m E G#m
I used to see niggas on TV, man
E G#m E
I used to be like, "Yo, them niggas so blessed, you know what I'm sayin'?"
G#m E
If I had that opportunity, you know what I'm sayin'?

[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
G#m E
Damn, I grew up on that Cash Money
G#m E
Bling bling, was well known to flash money
G#m E
Hit the liquor store, after my Vic authority
G#m E
Quick to switch a bitch up, pick up me a thicker shorty
G#m E
Pistol on me, nigga, ain't no pickin' on me
G#m E
We veterans so it's better if you go get your army
G#m E
A thug holiday is where your body lay
G#m E
Me and Trick Daddy come from a common place
G#m E
So us gettin' money, that's just a conversation
G#m E
It's so hard stayin' rich and miss the confrontations
G#m E
Cigars in the Oval Office, Ronald Reagan
G#m E
Hug Barack Obama whisper as-salamu ?alaykum
G#m E
Live for the moment, die for the streets
G#m E
Bible on the dash, kilos on the seat
G#m E
I used to see you niggas on my TV screen
G#m E
And wondered what was life like, was it all a dream?
G#m E
And then I met you out on LiveNation dates
G#m E
Came to the realization that your watch was fake
G#m E
Damn... you nearly broke my heart
G#m E
I really thought you niggas really owned them cars
[Interlude: Rick Ross]
G#m E
I used to look up to you, nigga, uh
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
G#m E
Hard to point a finger when you live a life of sin
G#m E
I'ma bring my niggas with me if I lose or win
G#m E
Bought a fleet of cars, let the bitches tag along
G#m E
This little thing of ours, not the ones to tattle on
G#m E
Omerta the code, Met Ball, parties with Vogue
G#m E
Still blowin' thick smoke while you powder your nose
G#m E
Such a head rush until the day the feds rush
G#m E
That's when you niggas wish you put your bread up
G#m E
Leased whips, bad blood, that shit'll sink ships
G#m E
Fast money comin' slow, you better think quick
G#m E
Rap game, so much fuck shit done
G#m E
That's why this .45 in my Trukfit trunks
G#m E
Fuck a skateboard, I went and got a Wraith, boy
G#m E
Catholic record labels, niggas gettin' raped, boy
G#m E
Birdman's a priest, moans in his synagogue
G#m E
Publishin' is a sin, repent, forgive me, Lord
G#m E
Shots fired, home invasion out on Palm Isle
G#m E
Red beam detonators, who the bomb now?
G#m E
Look you in your eyes, nigga, 'fore I say good night
G#m E
And pray that Mannie Fresh'll get to see the light
[Interlude: Rick Ross]
G#m E
Damn, Stunna, I loved you, nigga
G#m E
Hate it came to this
(Maybach Music)
[Verse 3: Rick Ross]
G#m E
You stole them boys pub and bought a foreclosure
G#m E
Scott Storch demons in it, which is more poison
G#m E
I handed over records, never charged a coin
G#m E
But could sense the sentiment, I'm talkin' all along
G#m E
All Miami issues, Rozay handle for him
G#m E
Same way Big Ducky do for me in California
G#m E
Never slippin', got relationships with the trillest niggas
G#m E
Tony Draper, J Prince and ever Jimmy Henchmen
G#m E
Plenty killers and I know that Diddy with it
G#m E
Tyga, chinchilla, really ain't no penny pinchin'
G#m E
Knew that you would never visit BG
G#m E
Turk came home, take that boy a three piece
G#m E
Shootin' dope, usin' coke, movin' like you the Folks
G#m E
Sacrificin' half our life for your new music cult
G#m E
You would give us self esteem and motivate our drive
G#m E
But was in our pockets by the time we count to five
G#m E
I pray you find the kindness in your heart for Wayne
G#m E
His entire life, he gave you what there was to gain
G#m E
I watched this whole debacle so I'm part to blame
G#m E
Last request, can all producers please get paid?
[Outro: Rick Ross]

G#m E
And what hurt me the most, nigga
G#m

G#m E
