Light Up

Uh, I've been up for four days, gettin' money both ways
 Dirty and clean, I could use a glass of cold Spades
 Rolexes, chauffers and low fades
 I keep thinkin', how young can you die from old age?
 They always tell me: "Nobody's workin' as hard as you"
 And even though I laugh it off, man, it's probably true
 'Cause while all of my closest friends out partyin'
 I'm just here makin' all the music that they party to
 But party on, party on all night, nigga
 I got these new rappers nervous: prom night, nigga
 I grow tired of these fuckin' grown man liars
 Storytellers, they ain't even need a campfire
 Uh, but I just want to tell the truth
 Before one of these haters load a couple shells and shoot
 The shit feel like when Fredro Starr
 Was in Sunset Park stuntin' hard in his yellow goose - yeah!
 And I'm a motherfuckin' missed target
 But a target nonetheless, and I just started
 Was that directed at moi? Can't be
 They must be talkin' to themselves, Hov: hands free
 Yeah, and I'm just fillin' up this daily planner
 Gettin' busy 'cause I'm a star: no spangled banner
 Jealous dudes get to talkin' in they music
 And I just say I wrote it for your girlfriends: Kelsey Grammer
 Yeah, that's what life becomes when you're doin' you
 Welcome to Hollywood, don't let this town ruin you
 And if you pillow-talkin' with the women that are screwin' you
 Just know that she gon' tell another nigga
 When she through with you
 Don't get impatient when it takes too long
 Drink it all, even when it tastes too strong
 Yeah, I got to feel alive, even if it kills me
 Promise to always give you me, the real me
 Who would've thought I'd be caught in this life?
 Let's celebrate with a toast and get lost in tonight
 And make it all light up
 (Ay Guru tell, tell homegirl to open that Ace right there...)
 Wait until the sun goes down
 We gon' make this bitch light up
 Even when the sun goes down I'ma make it go
 Oww, hoes turn they heads like owls
 I'm the man of the hour
 Triple entendre, don't even ask me how
 Con Edison flow, I'm connected to a higher power
 Bright lights'll make your whole city light up
 A trillion-watt light bulb when I'm in the night club
 I just landed in that G450
 Caught the Mayweather fight 'cause the satellite was crispy, uhh
 Y'all can miss me with the money talk
 The smart money's on Hov', fuck what the dummies talk, uhh
 I don't do too much bloggin'
 I just run the town, I don't do too much joggin'
 Mm, I ain't got a scar yet
 'Cause you fuckin' around with me and my dogs is far-fetched
 Drake, here's how they gon' come at you
 With silly rap feuds, tryin' to distract you
 In disguise, in the form of a favor
 The Barzini meeting, watch for the traitors, uhh
 I done seen it all, done it all
 That's why none of these dum-dums could done him off
 The summer's ours, the winter too
 Top down in the winter, that's what winners do
 And to these niggas I'm like Windows 7
 You let them tell it, they swear that they invented you
 And since no good deed go unpunished
 I'm not as cool with niggas as I once was
 I once was cool as the Fonz was
 But these bright lights turned me to a monster
 Sorry, mama, I promised it wouldn't change me
 But I would have went insane had I remained the same me
 Fuck niggas! Bitches, too!
 All I got is this money — this'll do
 Who would've thought I'd be caught in this life?
 Let's celebrate with a toast and get lost in tonight
