{Verse 1 – NBA YoungBoy & Jacquees}
I’m like for real, brand new Audemar stainless steel “stainless steel”
House in the hill, I ain’t got one yet, but I ran up a mil “I done ran up a mil”
Ni-ga know I don’t steal, but you know for sure that I’m ready to k** “I’m ready to k**”
Ayy, I be traumatized, my cousin died, and I ain’t shed a tear “I ain’t shed no tear”
Ni-ga try, he get k**ed, you play with that money, you know what it is
38 baby, I’m thugging for real, straight out the slums, I’m gutter for real
That ni-ga disloyal, you know I feel, but I’m really chasing that money for real
Not chasing no bi-ch, I been chasing a mil
My daddy locked up, he just waiting on appeal
Yeah, I gotta admit, I got demons in my body “in my body”
I’m paranoid, and I feel some people watching “some people watching”
I gotta maintain and stack up that money, you know they can’t stop me “know they can’t stop me”
I stay with a burner ’cause if it ain’t on me, them ni–as gon’ pop me “gon’ pop me”
These bi–hes ain’t sh**, and I know these ni–as ain’t sh** neither “whoa”
Got a stick in the car with thirty-six Os in the trunk of the rita “ayy”
Not asking for sh**, not trusting nobody because I don’t need ’em “ayy”
I’m sipping on lean while Jacquees steady smoking on reefer
{Chorus – Jacquees}
Before the fame, I was a star
Changed our ways, but we ain’t changing who we are
I copped a foreign, remember the stolen cars
I thank god I ain’t dead or behind bars
{Verse 2 – NBA YoungBoy}
They have a shootout in a minute
On the phone with my mama while sitting in prison
Criticizing myself, steady saying I’m tripping
Got a brand new ‘Vette, dropped the top like a Bentley
I perform on stage with cases pending
All over the world, ayy I been trending
[Lyrics from: https:/lyrics.az/jacquees/-/before-the-fame.html]
In my Balmain jeans I keep a Glizzy
Got the VVS diamonds in my NBA pendant “skrrt, skrrt”
Hop in the Benz, I step on the gas
Focus on business, you know I ain’t playing
Only the real gon’ feel what I’m saying
Gotta go chase it and get off my a**
I really don’t hang ’cause I like to flash
F-ck all that sh**, I’ma get me a bag
Hoes tryna get in Jacquees’ pants
I know all they really want is them bands
Hey, I need to stop
In a collision, I’m ‘causing a wreck
Steady finessing my way to the top
Hey, can’t give up now
I think I’m a wizard, just call me John Wall
I tighten my shoe, and I run with that rock
{Bridge – Jacquees}
F-ck the critics, I’ma get it ’cause I want that “’cause I want that”
I won’t complain what was on my plate ’cause I was hungry “I was hungry”
I still got love for all the people that left me lonely
Never will I come back, forever I’m on that, yeah
{Chorus – Jacquees}
‘Cause before the fame, I was a star
Changed our ways, but we ain’t changing who we are
I copped a foreign, remember the stolen cars
I thank god I ain’t dead or behind bars
