Lyric of the week:

“I'm just as famous as my mentorBut that's still the boss, don't get sent for

Get hype on tracks and jump in front of a bullet you wasn't meant for

Cause you don't really wanna hear me vent more

Hot temper, scary outcome

Here's a reason for niggas that's hatin' without one

That always let they mouth run

Bench players talkin' like starters, I hate it

Started from the bottom, now we here, nigga, we made it

Yeah, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather smellin' like a brick

Degenerates, but even Ellen love our shit

Rich enough that I don't have to tell 'em that I'm rich

Self explanatory, you just here to spread the story, wassup”

“Tuscan Leather” - Drake
