Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, B
Talk your shit
Partner, let me upgrade U
How you gon' upgrade me?
What's higher than number one?
You know I used to beat that block
Now I be's the block
Partner, let me upgrade U
[Verse 1]
I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on
Notice you the type that like to keep them on a leash, though
I'm known to walk alone but I'm alone for a reason
Sending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me
Come harder, this won't be easy
Don't doubt yourself, trust me, you need me
This ain't no shoulder with a chip or a ego
But what you think they all mad at me for?
[PreChorus]
You need a real woman in your life (That's a good look)
Taking care of home and still fly (That's a good look)
And I'ma help you build up your account
That's a good look, better yet, a hood look
Believe me (Ladies, that's a good look)
When you're in them big meetings for the mills (That's a good look)
You take me just to compliment the deal (That's a good look)
Anything you cop, I'll split the bill (That's a good look)
Better yet, a hood look
Believe me (Ladies, that's a good look)
[Chorus]
Partner, let me upgrade U
Audemars Piguet you
Switch your neck ties to purple labels
Upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things
And upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
[Verse 2]
I can do for you what Martin did for the people
Ran by the man, but the women keep the tempo
It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal
Still played my part and let you take the lead role
Believe me
I'll follow, this could be easy
I'll be the help whenever you need me (You need me)
I see your hustle, with my hustle, I can keep you
Focused on your focus, I can feed you
[PreChorus]
You need a real woman in your life (That's a good look)
Taking care of home and still fly (That's a good look)
I can help you build up your account (That's a good look, better yet, a hood look)
Believe me (Ladies, that's a good look)
When you're in them big meetings for the mills (That's a good look)
You take me just to compliment the deal (That's a good look)
Anything you cop, I'll split the bill (That's a good look, better yet, a hood look)
Believe me, I can upgrade U (Ladies, that's a good look)
[Chorus]
Partner, let me upgrade U
Audemars Piguet you
Switch your neck ties to purple labels
Upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things
And upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U (Uh-huh)
[Verse 3]
I be's the D boy who infiltrated all the corporate dudes
They call shots, I call audibles
Jacob the Jeweler, Baubles, Lauraine Schwartz oughta do
It's big balling, baby, when I'm courting you (Woo)
I'm talking spy bags and fly pads (Hey, hey)
And rooms at the Bloomberg, and rumor's (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
You on the verge of a new merge (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
'Cause that rock on your finger's like a tumor (Hey, hey)
You can't fit your hand in your new purse (Hey, hey)
It's humorous to me, they watching and we just yachting
Island hopping off the Amalfi coast
Mafioso, oh, baby, you ever seen Saturn?
No, not the car, but everywhere we are
You're sure to see stars, this is high level, not eye level
My bezel courtesy of Audemars
I order yours tomorrow, now look at the time I saved ya (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Mama, let me upgrade U (Hey, hey)
[Bridge]
Just when you think you had it all
Big ends, condos, collecting cars
Picture your life elevated with me, now you my project celebrity
I'll keep your name hot in the them streets
But it's that little glimpse of light
That makes the diamond really shine
And you already is a star, but unless you're flawless
Then your dynasty ain't complete without a chief like me
[Chorus]
Partner, let me upgrade U
Audemars Piguet you
Switch your neck ties to purple labels
Upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
Flip a new page
Introduce you to some new things
And upgrade U
I can up, can I up? Lemme upgrade U
Partner, let me upgrade U
[Outro]
Audemars Piguet watch, dimples in your necktie
Hermes briefcase, Cartier tie clips
Silk-lined blazers, diamond cream facials
VVS cuff links, six-star pent suites
Partner, let me upgrade U, 'grade U
Partner, partner, let me upgrade U, 'grade U
Lemme, lemme, lemme upgrade U, 'grade U
Partner, partner, partner lemme upgrade U
