They tell me, "Jesus walks", I tell them, "Money talks" Bling got me chill, 'cause I'm living in an icebox
They tell me I've been sleepin', I say, "I'm wide awake"
Tracks hot and ready so they call me Mister Easy-Bake
They say the grass is greener, I think my grass is dank

The people always different but it always feels the same
That's the real me, pop the champagne
The haters wanna hurt me and I'm laughin' at the pain
