Abundant Bank Persona must provide / then I decide to ride For the future I’m / armed but only with this lie Into the bank I slide / tellers tell they’re horrified See the mask and eyes / now get this bag I’m live Who levitated the track immensely / Cash had it static test me Microphone keep it weepin’ gently / still intensely still this frenzy Still this will is buildin’ hefty / top billin’ with the villain treachery Thrill for the fill now an earful enemy / Chuck made a laid-back melody Then combat when we back to the weaponry / back to the back to the back wall catchy Never endin’ transcend intent see / 3 XL he excel mentally Extra extra wit extra sensory / why they say that you flow allegedly Go for the bag in my bag now heavy / step for the speed still sound like semi Burstin’ through though arena empty / even won for the first already Ready ready like rockin’ steady / he keep that be barely Holdin’ never foldin’ his legacy / off the top spot right over edgy Underground how the sound will bury / all exposure over trendy Now I’m goin’ over backs so heady / severin’ with many cut machete Not the size of the lies and envy / crew run done or a few run rarely While you sleepin’ I’m keepin’ plenty / ill with the legibly deal contrary Deadly wreck it beast in belly / champ for the planet now the belt that destiny bank!
