Couple friends turned foes, no Diddy (No Diddy)

[Verse 1]
I got a young Miami b!tch from the city
I’m spending money like a trick, no Diddy
I rock pissy yellow diamonds, no Diddy
But she can’t be underage, no Diddy (Ugh)
Extendo with a switch, no Diddy
Folks passing pills around like frisbees
And booby trap going up on a Wednesday
I’m in a bag, it’s a Monica Lewinsky
I’m fu*king rappers’ baby mamas, no Diddy (Take that)
I got these n!ggas in they feelings like Drizzy (Take that)
In New York, I’m moving prison, no Diddy
I got the power and respect but no Diddy
The CEO in the video but no Diddy
‘Cause I ain’t dancing like a ho, no Diddy
Can’t go out like Pac, no kizzy
Play with Wop and get popped, no Diddy (Take that)
She on the pills and the coke, no Diddy
I keep a mule for the dope, no Diddy
Diamonds dancing on my chest, no Diddy
But I blow a n!gga car up like Kid Cudi’s (Huh?)
I’m on the yacht, taking shots, no Diddy, woah
Pay for top from the thot, no Diddy (Damn)
Some n!ggas wanna boss me, I’m not 50 (Uh-uh)
But get a n!gga ass touched like Biggie, no Diddy

[Chorus]
We getting higher than a kite, no Diddy (No Diddy)
See my artists double plat’, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Sipping on yak, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple n!ggas got whacked, but no Diddy (Take that, no Diddy)
Keep the shooters with the strap, no Diddy (No Diddy)
I’m in a room full of hoes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
More money, more problems, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple friends turned foes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
We getting higher than a kite, no Diddy (No Diddy)
See my artists double plat’, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Got me sipping on yak, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple n!ggas got whacked, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Keep the shooters with the strap, no Diddy (No Diddy)
I’m in a room full of hoes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
More money, more problems, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple friends turned foes, no Diddy (No Diddy)

[Verse 2]
Some n!ggas tried to shine on me, but no Diddy (Shine)
‘Cause I keep the Uzi when I be in Philly
If you say that it’s up, then it’s stuck to the ceiling
But these n!ggas all talk like Wallo and Gilly
What’s done in the dark will come to the light
You n!ggas all bark but ain’t got no bite (Grr)
I know two wrongs don’t make no right
But they must be blind ’cause they said it’s on sight (Huh?)
The feds tryna set a n!gga up, no Diddy (No Diddy)
‘Bout to take the jet off the mountain, no kidding (No kidding)
See, a n!gga always strapped, no Diddy
On the phone with my lawyer, ’bout to send him ten million
He got J jerked, he got signed by Diddy
He can’t even hoop but just did a 360
Why you ain’t ever seen Wop at the brunch?
‘Cause they might spike the punch, man, that s*it too risky
Rule number one, never be too friendly
These industry n!ggas have bad intentions
I don’t trust nobody and I stay my distance
Plus your whole team sorry like the Detroit Pistons (Oh, damn)
Got a check up on my wrist but can’t go out like Diddy
Fu*k the wig off a b!tch but can’t go out like Diddy
And I just woke up with a model in the bed with big titties with no makeup and she still look pretty, no Diddy

[Chorus]
We getting higher than a kite, no Diddy (No Diddy)
See my artists double plat’, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Sipping on yak, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple n!ggas got whacked, but no Diddy (Take that, no Diddy)
Keep the shooters with the strap, no Diddy (No Diddy)
I’m in a room full of hoes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
More money, more problems, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple friends turned foes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
We getting higher than a kite, no Diddy (No Diddy)
See my artists double plat’, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Got me sipping on yak, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple n!ggas got whacked, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Keep the shooters with the strap, no Diddy (No Diddy)
I’m in a room full of hoes, no Diddy (No Diddy)
More money, more problems, no Diddy (No Diddy)
Couple friends turned foes, no Diddy (No Diddy)

[Outro]
No Diddy
Take that
