Mansion Lyrics

[​​​Chorus]​​​
And what the fuck do I gotta do go to and buy me a mansion? (Huh?)
Fuck is this? (Fuck is this?)
I wasn't supposed to be broke for this long damnit (What a bitch)
And my manager told me, "Nigga, you gon' be rich" (Nigga, you gon' be rich)

[​​​Verse 1]
That was last year
Now I'm living in the ghetto with the crackheads
Working at McDonald's as a goddamn cashier

Ain't this a bitch? (Ain't this a bitch?)
Liquor got me lightheaded (Yeah)
Sippin' to the light red and
I ain't go to college, I ain't good at nothing else
So if this don't work out then I wonder where my life headed
I ain't got shit
Tired of being stranded
Gotta go and get it
Living in hell, that's a heaven full of bitches
And I'm scared to fall in love but I never will admit it
Shit, I never could'a did it (never)
Point me to the door, I gotta leave
Real cocky to them hoes that say hi to me
Like I'm the best thing you heard
Bitch don't lie to me, don't you lie to me
I tried to play the lottery
Maybe I can hit the Powerball

Cop 50 fly cars, and then drive them all
Just so I can feel like a rich nigga got it all (This nigga got it all)
Bitch you ain't shit, and these broads ain't loyal
Hoes won't relate but these songs ain't for you
[Pre-Chorus]
And the game ain't the same, so along came Joyner
Standing around like you don't get the fuckin' picture
Let me paint it for you, I ain't playin' witchu
Waiting for the Illuminati just so I can get a check
Here's my soul let me trade it to you


[Chorus]
'Cause what the fuck do I gotta do to go and buy me a mansion? (Huh)
Fuck is this? (Fuck is this?)
I wasn't supposed to be broke for this long, goddamnit (Shit)
What a bitch (What a bitch)
I said my manager told me, "Nigga, you gon' be rich" (Said you gon' be rich)
Yeah right, I need a mansion on the water
And a yacht for my momma
Throwing party while we're bumping Barry White
Nigga, I just want a mansion (Look where he's from, I'm tired of this man)
I just want a mansion (I can't eat, I'm broke nigga, I'm broke, and you got the power to change that)

[Verse 2]
Yo, what the fuck do I gotta do to go and buy me a mansion? (Huh?)
Fuck is this? (Fuck is this?)
I wasn't supposed to be broke for this long, goddamnit (What the fuck?)
What a bitch (What a bitch)
And my manager told me, "Joyner, you gon' be rich" (Nigga, you gon' be rich)
A year later, now I'm living in the ghetto with the haters
Working at Denny's as a motherfucking waiter, nigga
Ain't this a bitch? (Ain't this a bitch?)
Liquor got me lightheaded
Sippin' to the light red and
I ain't really got no damn back up plan
So if this don't work out, then I wonder where my life headed
I ain't got shit (I ain't got shit)

Tired of being broke, gotta get it all, plus a nigga need drawers
Gotta hit the mall
Ain't no cameras in the stores so I bend the law (I gotta bend the law)
Point me to the door (Yeah)
I'm winning now
Yeah, I'm tryna get some head
Bitch, it's been a while
And don't be acting brand new cause your friends around ('Cause your friends around)
I'm tryna hit the lotto, thirty million and deposit all
Cop a mansion with a safe and I hide it all
Just so I can feel like a rich nigga got it all
This nigga got it all, it's all paranoia, I got a call from my lawyer
I should've went to prison but the bars ain't for ya
[Pre-Chorus]
And the game ain't the same, so along came Joyner
Standing around like you don't get the fucking picture
Let me paint it for you, I ain't playing with you
Awaiting for Illuminati just so I can get a break
Here's my soul, let me trade it to you

[Chorus]
'Cause what the fuck do I gotta do to go and buy me a mansion? (Huh?)
Fuck is this? (Fuck is this?)
I wasn't supposed to be broke for this long, goddamnit (Shit)
What a bitch (What a bitch)
I said my manager told me, "Nigga, you gon' be rich" (Nigga, you gon' be rich)
Yeah right, I need a mansion on the water
And a yacht for my momma
Throwing party while we're bumping Barry White
Nigga, I just want a mansion (You can have this shit, man, you can have the whole thing, I don't want it, I don't want none of this)
I just want a mansion (I'm up here, losing my damn mind, running up and down the streets for us)
