I know you see me now right now

Right now, right now, right now

I know you see me now right now

I got my suit and tie and I don't know if y'all know

Well, maybe y'all do, or maybe y'all don't

But I don't really^✦ care, it's how we on it all the time

So I'ma^✦ get my money,^✦ let's go

Yeah, uh, now I'ma^✦ need you to kill the hypocrisy

This is an aristocracy

I'm Socrates, but my skin more chocolatey

What's up with who? That's old news

I'm in a speedboat in my boat shoes

Huh? I swear my whole collection's^✦ so cruise

I might walk in Nobu^✦ wit' no shoes

"He just walked^✦ in Nobu^✦ like it was Whole Foods

That nigga^✦ crazy,^✦ I told you"

Immature^✦ adult,^✦ insecure^✦ asshole^✦

And if you fall on the concrete, that's your ass fault

If you pass on a Kan' beat, that's your last fault

Get what you ask for, I swear that your ass low

She got a big booty,^✦ but she couldn't drop that ass low

'Til you take your last ho and rope up all the cash flow

When you gettin'^✦ money,^✦ they be all up on your ass, yo

When you gettin'^✦ money,^✦ cops don't let a nigga^✦ pass Go

Straight to jail, yo, in a hellhole^✦

Right next to Lucifer, tell em I said, "Hello"^✦

Ask if I'ma^✦ be there soon and tell him I said, "Hell no"

Yo, what you say when your people get out of jail, huh?

My niggas is home

I guess I got everything,^✦ everything^✦ I want

But I don't, no matter^✦ how good it gets, it'll never^✦ be like for

No women^✦ in the crowd, screamin' and it's loud

Doin' things not allowed and I swear it's going down right now

I know one thing, my mama^✦ would be proud

And you see me lookin'^✦ up

Cause I know she's lookin'^✦ down right now

I know you see me now right now

Right now, right now, right now

I know you see me now right now

Pour the champagne, let your watch show

Shorty^✦ got a man watch wrist look colossal

I admit^✦ my first watch was a Fossil^✦

Now I'm in the Louvre lookin'^✦ for fossils

'Tention^✦ to detail^✦ is so uncanny

And the whip's on the Sprewells, it's so un-Camry

Somebody need to put us on camera^✦

The world of Rollies^✦ and everyone families^✦

Stay Jordan^✦ fresh, suits and Ferraris

Cute, your shorty^✦ watch Barney's,^✦ we head to Barney's^✦

End up at Marni,^✦ Giorgio, service from Sergio^✦ Tacchini^✦

Lamborghini,^✦ the chain throw off the vertigo

I know the flow just hit a hellified^✦ vertical

This the Christ year, last year was magic,^✦ 32

Lyrically,^✦ can't none of y'all murder^✦ 'Ye

Cause y'all raps ain't got no vertebrae

I got style, ask June if she heard of me

I killed^✦ the fur last Paris,^✦ raised^✦ the murder^✦ rate

First of all, we all know the beats is

Like a mix between Fergie and Jesus^✦

Imagine the direction^✦ of this immaculate conception^✦

Every^✦ one of His Majesty's swim parties^✦ is pageantries^✦

Cannonball off the divin'^✦ board when I am bored^✦

All my homies^✦ GDs, but I am Lord

Rap god, Greek mythology^✦

And this life too crazy^✦ to think logically^✦

Here's^✦ somethin' that you could use in analogy^✦

My life is like a child's illusions^✦ become^✦ reality

Now go get my throne cause I don't wanna^✦ stop

I just go in my zone and I'ma^✦ make it hot 'til it's time to go

When it's time to go, where you trying to go?

You better^✦ act like you can see me now

Exactly, Rosewood

I know you see me, I know you see me

I know you see me, it's like I'm 3D!

Man, today^✦ I am the freshest in the world, but that's the obvious

Damn, I look so sexy,^✦ and you look like a pile of shit

When I told my ex I loved^✦ her, she went and married^✦ another

And changed her whole name up, you a Yugoslavi' chick

"Be successful, " that's what Dad told me

So everything^✦ I D-O now I OD

They say G.O.O.D. Music^✦ like the new Miami^✦ Heat, shit

Comparin' them to us, man they gotta^✦ add Kobe

Whoadie, holy^✦ moley^✦ went, from G-Shockin' to Rollie

From the D, coppin'^✦ in Beverly Hills, I'm Axel^✦ Foley^✦

Nah, nah, baby^✦ boy, you Jody,^✦ in the party,^✦ they all know me

Yeah, I saw your ass in line, boy, you was lookin'^✦ like the old me

Presidential suit, my girls Michelle and Chanel^✦

She gave me designer, uh, she keep it au natural

I say it again,^✦ I'm chasin'^✦ cheese, dodgin'^✦ rat traps

Chasin'^✦ pussy^✦ you might end up with a Kat Stacks

Nasty^✦ trick, you's a nasty^✦ chick

Uh, ooh, you know I like that nasty^✦ shit

Got it made in every^✦ way, gettin'^✦ paid every^✦ day

What Sean sound like? 'Ye protégé

Nah, nah, he sound like he a pro to me

"I know Kanye a jerk, " how could you say that?

He rode me and my mama^✦ 'round in his Maybach

What kind of jerk is that? What kind of jerks is y'all?

Fuck it if he a jerk, I bet you jerk him off

Bet you take it off or chase him through the mall

We workin'^✦ twice as hard, so everything^✦ come in twos

Double drinks, double girls

We be gettin'^✦ paid like W-2

Rep Westside, throwin' up Ws

"We love you Sean, " I love you too

Ooh-ooh,^✦ you know I do
