With a runtime of under two minutes, the snappy joint comes with a music video that opens with the 22-year-old drill star rapping: “Made it out, I’m just a rich young nigga/ Steady arguing, wasn’t no way to live/ I know bitches want me ’cause I’m up/ Something different, I’m just with a gift.”
The “Big Drip” hitmaker then comes in with: “They don’t even know me and shorty speak/ She gon’ still fuck a nigga for some feets/ We was in Brooklyn Chop House/ Me and shawty spent three K for the eats.”
