1. Now with Sean on the hot track, melt like it's hot wax,

leave a nigga with a hot hat, fronting like

bad boy ain't got tracks (nigga stop that).

G C

There's no guy slicker than this young fly nigga,

nickel-nine nigga, floss you die quicker (uh-huh),

this fed time outta town pie flipper,

turn cristal into a crooked I sipper.

Everybody want to be fast, see the cash,

fuck around they weak staff, get a heat rash.

Anything in bad boy way we smash (we smash),

hundred g stash, push a bulletproof e-class (ehehe).

G C

I'm through with bein’ a player and a baller,

just want me one bad bitch so I can spoil her,

Mase wanna be the one you respect, even when you're vexed,

rock Versace silks over spilled brunette.

G C

Or be at the bar with too much bubbly? (c'mon)

G C

Yo, I think it must be the girls want to lust me

or is it simply the girls just love me.

rock my ice, pull out glocks, stop my life (uhh).

I'm record sales soaring (*whistling*) straight touring,

simply a lot of men be wantin to hear me,

’cause their words just don't offend me (uh-uh, uh-uh).
