Leslie) VERSE 1 When I was young, I had a dream of being President Went to Harvard - the best money I ever spent Graduated young - now they’re saying I’m a mogul People ask me what my address is I tell them: Global New headquarters: down Wall Street Went from being broke in Harlem, now we all eat Twin Benz trucks - call that double parked Plus every record I make is a f*ckin’ work of art I’m gettin’ more money since I went independent And they never seen me coming - had my windows tinted The crown prince: pride of my community And when I fly I want diplomatic immunity My passport is stamped out - I need some pages When I die they gon’ act out my life on movie stages Got a hired gun - motto is “Protect the Chief“ Keep these haters from scheming on this Patek Philippe HOOK Bills foreign, Swiss Francs Before I die I need my money in a Swiss Bank I can see right through these haters: fish tanks Plus they frowning at my watch like my wrist stinks Bills foreign, Swiss Francs Before I die, stack my money in a Swiss Bank I can see right through these haters: fish tanks Plus they frowning at my watch VERSE 2 The campaign is global - the dollar ain’t what it used to be Switch a franc for a dollar, you get like 1.3 It’s too many haters, it’s only one of me And they mad ’cause I’m everything they wanna be 30,000 feet - I’m outta reach Lifestyle is extravagant, word to Robin Leach On the road, homie, I ain’t seen my bed in weeks What I need a bed for? Money never sleeps! So I don’t either, I need it cash Security got a pistol it’s underneath the dash And he ain’t scared to use it. I don’t need to worry You ain’t got my deposit, homie, you need to hurry! Call Shiv, he got my schedule it’s full of dates My life is like a recurring birthday, it’s full of cake One spot at the top that mean it’s you or me Supermodel ex’s? yeah, I got ’bout 2 or 3 HOOK VAMP I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’ now (4x) Cuz if you ain’t talkin’ bout that money I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’ now Said if you ain’t talkin’ bout that money I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’ now HOOK - - Brass Quintet: The Brass Standard Directed & edited by: Ryan Leslie Camera: Getm Jaf & Alex Bittan Production: Alex Bittan & Rafik Djerbi Dinner footage taken from the unreleased ’Glory’ documentary captured by Evan Rogers & Aram Bedrossian.
