Pound Cake

[Intro: Christian Rich and Utters]

"[?] like back in the old days. You know, years ago they had the A&R men to tell you what to play, how to play it [?] but we just went in the studio and we did it. We had champagne in the studio, of course, [?] and we just laid back and did it. So we hope you enjoy listening to this album half as much as we enjoyed playing it for you. Because we had a ball. Only real music is gonna last, all the other bullshit is here today and gone tomorrow...."

[Hook]

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Dolla dolla bill y'all

[Verse 1: Drake]

After hours of Il Mulino

Or Sotto Sotto, just talkin' about women and vino

The contract like '91 Dan Marino

I swear this got Michael Rapino boostin' my ego

Overly focused, it's far from the time to rest now

Debates growin' 'bout who they think is the best now

Took a while, got the jokers out of the deck now

Holdin' all the cards and niggas wanna play chess now

I hear you talkin', say it twice so I know you meant it

Fuck it, I don't even tint it, they should know who's in it

I'm authentic, real name, no gimmicks

No game, no scrimmage, I ain't playin' with you niggas at all

My classmates, they went on to be chartered accountants

Or work with their parents, but thinkin' back on how they treated me

My high school reunion might be worth an appearance

Make everybody have to go through security clearance

Tables turn, bridges burn, you live and learn

With the ink, I could murder word to my nigga Irv

Yeah, I swear shit just started clickin' dog

You know it's real when you are who you think you are

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Jay Z]

I had Benzes 'fore you had braces

The all black Maybach but I'm not a racist

Inside's whiter than Katy Perry's face is

Yellow diamonds in my Jesus

I just might learn to speak Mandarin

Japanese for the yen that I'm handlin'

International Hov, that's my handle

My saint's Sean Don, light a candle

El Gran Santo on the mantle

'Case y'all didn't know, I speak Spanish too

Shoutout to Worldwide Wes

Everywhere we go we leave a worldwide mess

Yes, still Roc La Familia

Says a lot about you if you not feelin' us

The homie said "Hov, there ain't many of us"

I told him less is more, nigga it's plenty of us

[Hook]

[Verse 3: Jay Z]

Cake, cake cake cake cake cake

500 million, I got a pound cake

Niggas is frontin', that's upside down cake

Get 'em a red nose, they clown cakes

Look at my neck, I got a carrot cake

Now here's the icing on the cake

Cake, cake cake cake cake

I'm just gettin' started, oh yeah we got it bitch

I've done made more millionaires than the lotto did

Dame made millions, Bigg made millions

Ye made millions, Just made millions

Lyor made millions, Cam made millions

Beans tell you if he wasn't in the ceilin's

I'm back in my bag

My eyes bloodshot but my jet don't lag

A pair of Jordan 3's tryna chase this cash

Gucci air bag just in case we crash

Uh, last night was mad trill

Fresh out of advil, Jesus grab the wheel

[Verse 4: Drake]

Fuck all that happy to be here shit that y'all warned me on

I'm the big homie, they still tryna lil bro me dog

Like I should fall in line, like I should alert niggas

When I'm 'bout to drop somethin' crazy and I say I'm the greatest of my generation

Like I should be dressin' different

Like I should be less aggressive and pessimistic

Like I should be way more nervous and less dismissive

Like I should be on my best behavior

And not talk my shit and do it major like the niggas who paved a way for us

Like I didn't study the game

[?] doin' it better

Like I didn't make that clearer this year

Like I
