(Aye Mr. Loaf... how you do that?)
Yeah I'm clean, makin' threes
They call me 23
Keep the money in my pocket, 'cause you know ain't nothin' free
I won't forget, back in the day, yeah they used to laugh at me
Started to make it on my own, now they're sayin' look at me
Used to rock the white shirt, but I always kept it clean
Now I'm rockin' white shirts, 'cause the money won't change me
Had to cut the grass low to give the snakes some room to breathe
Yeah I made a few dollars now they try to use me
Used to have a lot of friends but I lost 'em in the deep (Where they go?)
Yeah they kept on changing spots like they're playin' hide and seek
Now I have a few friends, I keep the real ones close to me
'Cause I'd rather be lonely than to let you play me
Yeah I met some new people, guess it was my destiny (Yeah)
'Cause they've been more loyal than the ones I've known since three (Wow)
Gotta stay on my toes, 'cause I know they're after me (They are)
Gotta keep my eyes open, yeah even when I sleep (For real)
Yeah I'm clean, makin' threes
They call me 23 (Jordan)
Keep the money in my pocket, 'cause you know ain't nothin' free (It's not)
I won't forget, back in the day, yeah they used to laugh at me (They did)
Started to make it on my own, now they're sayin' look at me
Used to rock the white shirt, but I always kept it clean (Yeah, OK)
Now I'm rockin' white shirts, 'cause the money won't change me (Straight up)
Had to cut the grass low to give the snakes some room to breathe (Cut it)
Yeah I made a few dollars now they try to use me (Facts, facts, facts)
Most people are like illusions, yeah they're not really about it (Hold up)
Next thing you know, they'll have you jumpin' off a mountain (Wow)
Once you spit a little knowledge they'll be runnin' like a fountain
Forgot how many times they switched, had to go back and count 'em
Like when you see a magic trick, you're always steady doubtin' (Yeah)
Had to move up the numbers, now we're in the thousands (Yessir)
Haven't even mixed the song, but the speakers really bouncin'
Once I tell 'em how it is, they always leave poutin'
Yeah I'm clean, makin' threes
They call me 23 (Jordan)
Keep the money in my pocket, 'cause you know ain't nothin' free (It's not)
I won't forget, back in the day, yeah they used to laugh at me (They did)
Started to make it on my own, now they're sayin' look at me
Used to rock the white shirt, but I always kept it clean (Yeah, OK)
Now I'm rockin' white shirts, 'cause the money won't change me (Straight up)
Had to cut the grass low to give the snakes some room to breathe (Cut it)
Yeah I made a few dollars now they try to use me (Facts, facts, facts)
(Uh, Uh, Uh)
Keep my circle small, you know I came up out the E
Yeah you better think twice before you try to use me
