Lyrics
Versace Shades by YoungBoy Never Broke Again
Uh, hol' up, hol' up
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm
(Who made this sh*t? TayTay made the beat)
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Black Versace shades
One million for a car, I just hope that it don't break
I say, "Baby, see these chains I got on?" I say, "Baby"
I stay strapped down with my chrome, mm-mm
Baow, mm-mm
Baow, that Lil Top, nigga
You already know what it is, you know how I rock
[Verse]
I grew up sellin' dope off grandpa porch
Want smoke? You know I keep my pole
Can't trust nobody 'cause my soul always gettin' mistreated, damn
I need me a bad ho, I need me a bad b**ch
Gon' hold me down and help me hide this dirty money from Uncle Sam
I be on them bars and I stay rollin'
I can't control it, baby, no, I can't control it, baby
Killed that b**ch, he's talkin' beef, right now, he the one I'm smokin'
I got a problem, baby, tried to smoke his homie, baby
Designer coupe, huh, I change out my shoes
You f**k with me, huh, then I f**k with you
I keep my pistol stuck on me like glue
You try one motherf**kin' thang and I'm gon' shoot
"Kentrell, I love you" (Bae, I love you, love you), I love you too
But I'm f**ked up inside the streets, the FBI wan' see me through
Drivin' a Rolls-Royce and it's long just like a bus, yeah, yeah
Porsche 911, eight-hundred-thousand-dollar watch on top of my hand
We could have a baby, we could do anything, we could just be friends
We'll shoot your ex out with that cutter that I just got from my kin
Please don't trust nobody 'round me, they'll do you in
They'll shoot you clean inside your head, gave fifty grand to my twin
What the f**k you mean? I done come from low income
Ever since I've been up, I ain't worried 'bout nothin'
My wife ring a million dollars, hundred rounds for a hundred problems
Run down, spray him and his partner, bang, b**ch, bang, nigga
[Chorus]
I walked in this b**ch with black Versace shades
One million for a car, I just hope that it don't break
I say, "Baby, see these chains I got on?" I say, "Baby"
I stay strapped down with my chrome, mm-mm
Baow, mm-mm (Slime, slime, slime)
Baow, that Lil Top, nigga (Uh, uh, uh)
You already know what it is, you know how I rock
[Outro]
Slime, slime
This YoungBoy, nigga
This Big Velveeta
How you been living, 5?
"Kentrell, I love you," bae, I love you, love you
(Who made this sh*t? TayTay made the beat)
