FRONT STREET 1st Verse: yes I have arrived so please whatever you have in store for the night proceed and lead me to the VIP I need breathing room for all my heathen goons to blow weed you know we OD off that remy and henny so keep the bottles coming - open bar on me many will approach but I toast with the d- i-m-e-s guess I be superficial due to the company I keep kingpin perfect ten presidential suite as my residential for the week - no sleep penthouse view of the beach front scene but for now we in the smoke lounge they tell me slow down but I dont know how bound for another round - crown lets go if you cant live life then you always live poor Hook: they say im living beyond my means sitting on the throne when I aint king living on front street 2nd Verse: poor folk living like a king on the gulf coast new money so they still treat me like Im compost condos rented mazarti on lease but margaritas and martinis on me money nothing - it comes and it goes like the company I kick out after whipping my dick out leave like parolees out the big house promising youll never be back but of course youre fickle thats the miracle of luxury everybody want it so they put up with that dumb shit lucky me Im one of the cool kids cuz truth is Im about as normal as you is the proof is in the pudding like sugar, love and dairy various crews want to hate but me dont worry and me in no hurry - I take the lane slow if you cant enjoy life then you always live poor 3rd Verse: third times the charm so once in your mouth, once in your cunt, and once in your ummm... some women just arent into that so you know some of them just dont get called back one day Ill fall flat and regret everything but until then Im living for every day every second, every minute, every moment I got used to that silver spoon, life is golden aint it grand to spend eighty grand on a meal - turn around dump a mil on the fam bought my momma land, a house by the waves and a grand piano that cant nobody play put it in a room that dont nobody go in hot ass mother fuckin day - wrist frozen and they say he just dont know but if you cant live life then you always live poor.
