Lyrics
Twice emotional stability A sound body and tranquility I deserve it all Like minds and less enemies Stock investments, more entities I deserve it all VVS, that's white diamonds GNX with the seat back reclinin', bitch I deserve it all Put my homes on the beachfront Flyin' private, what you eat for lunch? I deserve it all The respect and the accolades Lampin' on the island, watching Cast Away I deserve it all For every good nigga that passed away Sent 2.5 million on an average day I deserve it all Keep my name by the world leaders Keep my crowds loud inside Ibiza I deserve it all More money, more power, more freedom Everything Heaven allowed us, bitch I deserve it all Hm, I deserve it all Hm, I deserve it all All All 'Cause my intentions was pure Even when you wasn't sure Even with every allure How much temptation you endured? You probably look for every cure I said I deserve it all I'm wakin' up at 6:00 a.m. Six miles a day, conditioning my win I said I deserve it all I'm showin' up as your friend Tellin' truths better than your next of kin I said I deserve it all I never ask for too much credit Seekin' validation just for the aesthetics, bitch I deserve it all I see you as a human first Even when you didn't understand your worth Bitch, I deserve it all It's innate to mind my business Writin' words, tryna elevate these children That's why I deserve it all Pray for those who prayed against me Every reason why my ancestors sent me Bitch, I deserve it all I deserve it all I deserve it all All All Put a smile on my mama Good health and good karma Yeah, she deserves it all One hunnid murals out in Compton Remember me, I kept my promise Yeah, we deserve it all A better life for my daughter Made my son take it further than his father Yeah, he deserves it all A close relationship with God Whisper to me every time I close my eyes He say, "You deserve it all" Keep these bitch niggas away from me Keep all my blessings faithfully Keep my essence contagious, that's okay with me I burn this bitch down, don't you play with me or stay with me I'm crashin' out right now, no one's safe with me I did it with integrity, and niggas still try hate on me Just wait and see, more blood be spillin', it's just paint to me Dangerously, nothin' changed with me, still got pain in me Flip a coin, want the shameless me or the famous me? How annoying does it angers me to know the lames can speak On the origins of the game I breathe, that's insane to me It's important, I deserve it all because it's mine Tell me why you think you deserve the greatest of all time, motherfucker I deserve it all I deserve it all
