financial freedom my only hope

two years later that shit worth two million
few years later that shit worth eight million
i can’t wait to give this shit to my children
y’all think it’s bougie i’m like it’s fine
but i’m tryin’ to give you a million dollars worth of game for 999
i turned that to a 4 4 to an 8
i turned my life into a nice first week release date

there’s a disconnect we don’t call that money over here yeah
