Fantasize about a white picket fence

Used to want a Pathfinder with some tints
还想要一辆彩色尼桑牌探路车
That's all I need my ni**a
这就是所有我想要的 朋友们
Throw some 20's on that b**ch and get it rinsed
扔给那些**金钱 让她们为之疯狂
But now I see my ni**a

Picked up the paper and they say my ni**a Eddie caught a body I'm convinced

Anybody is a killer all you gotta do is push 'em to the limps

F**k being timid in the Civic

Can you blame a ni**a that ain't never had things

I know that everything that glitters ain't gold

Your wish is my command my command my command
