I'll fly like a paper get high like planes Catch me at the border I got visas in my name If you come around here I'll make em all day I'll get one done in a second if you wait
Sometimes I think sitting on trains Every stop I get to I'm clocking that game Everyone's a winner, we're making our fame Bonafide hustler making my name
All I wanna do (BANG BANG BANG BANG) And a (CLICK CHING) And take your money
Pirate skulls and bones Sticks and stones and weed and bombs Running when we hit em A leathal poison pon dey system
No one on the corner had swag like us Hit me on up on a Pre paid wireless We pack and deliver like UPS trucks Already going hell Just pumping that gas
All I wanna do (BANG BANG BANG BANG) And a (CLICK CHING) And take your money
Some some some o dem I murder Some a some I let go
This is MIA A third world democracy I got more records than the KGB
