  • I always wanted to stunt so hard
    I always wanted to ride that whip
    I always wanted to fuck that bitch
    Thank you God, I fucked that bitch
    I always wanted to live this life
    I always wanted to wear that ice
    I always wanted paradise
    I always wanted paradise

    Look, now it don't take a lot to make you rich (to make you rich)
    I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit (I'm addicted to a lot of crazy shit)
    Man, I feel like money is the best drug (best drug)
    Sometimes, hate can be the best love
    Walkin' in like I got cameras on me
    Niggas can't control me, ain't no handles on me
    Shit don't get out of hand, it get handled, homie
    Got a pretty young girl look like Janet on me
    She a pretty penny and she know I'm doing numbers
    Till we crash up the whole database
    I bring it home like I'm base to base to base
    Closet lookin' like Planet of the Bathing Apes
    Bitch, you think this life just landed on me?
    My whole city look like it's abandoned, homie
    And we came straight out of those abandoned homies
    Every wish we ever had got granted, homie
    And I'll never take that shit for granted
    Even when the marble floor and counter top is all granite
    Back before I got paid any advances
    Back when my rollie was ticking, no dancing
    Nigga, never did I slip or I panic
    Even if I was the captain of Titanic
    Riding through the north Atlantic, homie
    I never jumped crew or abandoned, homie
    All the fruits of my labor organic, homie
    Making sure my family tree got hammocks on it
    And a good guy can change, 'specially if he saw change
    So fuck is my ransom, homie?

    Money bag, money bag, money bag (money bag, money bag, money bag)
    Money bag, money bag, money bag (money bag, money bag, money bag)
    Money bag, money bag, money bag (money bag, money bag, money bag)
    Money bag, money bag, money bag (money bag, money bag)

    I always wanted to stunt so hard
    I always wanted to ride that whip
    I always wanted to fuck that bitch
    Thank you God, I fucked that bitch
    I always wanted to live this life
    I always wanted to wear that ice
    I always wanted paradise
    I always wanted paradise (I always wanted paradise, I always wanted paradise)

    Straight up, finally famous nigga (nigga, nigga, nigga, nigga)
    I always wanted paradise (I always wanted paradise, I always wanted paradise) Writer/s: Marquel Middlebrooks, Michael Williams, Sean Michael Anderson
