  1. Yeah, B

  2. Talk your shit

  3. (Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you)

  4. How you gon' upgrade me? What's higher than number one?

  5. You know I used to beat that block

  6. Now I be's the block

  7. (Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade-)

  8. I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on

  9. Notice you the type that like to keep 'em on a leash, though

  10. I'm known to walk alone, but I'm alone for a reason

  11. Sending me a drink ain't appeasing, believe me (believe me)

  12. Come harder, this won't be easy

  13. Don't doubt yourself, trust me, you need me

  14. This ain't a shoulder with a chip or a ego

  15. But what you think they all mad at me for?

  16. You need a real woman in your life (that's a good look)

  17. Taking care of home and still fly (that's a good look)

  18. And I'ma help you build up your account (that's a good look)

  19. (Better yet, a hood look) believe me (ladies, that's a good look)

  20. When you're in them big meetings for the mills (that's a good look)

  21. You take me just to compliment the deal (that's a good look)

  22. And anything you cop, I'll split the bill (that's a good look)

  23. (Better yet, a hood look) believe me (ladies, that's a good look)

  24. Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you

  25. Switch your necktie to purple labels

  26. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  27. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  28. Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page

  29. Introduce you to some new things and

  30. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  31. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  32. I can do for you what Martin did for the people

  33. Ran by the man, but the women keep the tempo

  34. It's very seldom that you're blessed to find your equal

  35. Still play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me

  36. I'll follow, this could be easy

  37. I'll be the help whenever you need me (you need me)

  38. I see your hustle with my hustle I can keep you

  39. Focused on your focus I can feed you

  40. You need a real woman in your life (that's a good look)

  41. Taking care of home and still fly (that's a good look)

  42. I can help you build up your account (that's a good look)

  43. (Better yet, a hood look) believe me (ladies, that's a good look)

  44. When you're in them big meetings for the mills (that's a good look)

  45. You take me just to compliment the deal (that's a good look)

  46. And anything you cop, I'll split the bill (that's a good look)

  47. (Better yet, a hood look) hey, believe me (ladies, that's a good look)

  48. I can upgrade you

  49. Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you (Audemars Piguet you)

  50. Switch your necktie to purple labels (have you rockin' purple labels)

  51. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  52. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  53. Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page

  54. Introduce you to some new things and

  55. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  56. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  57. I be's the d-boy who infiltrated all the corporate dudes (Uh)

  58. They call shots, I call audibles

  59. Jacob the Jeweler baubles

  60. Lorraine Schwartz oughta do

  61. It's big ballin', baby, when I'm courtin' you (Woo)

  62. I'm talkin' spy bags and fly pads

  63. And rooms at the Bloomberg and rumors

  64. You on the verge of a new merge

  65. 'Cause that rock on your finger's like a tumor

  66. You can't fit your hand in your new purse

  67. It's humorous to me, they watchin' and we just yachtin'

  68. Island-hoppin' off the Amalfi coast, mafioso

  69. "Hov, baby, you ever seen Saturn?"

  70. "No, not the car, but everywhere we are" (uh)

  71. You sure to see stars

  72. This is high level, not eye level

  73. My bezel courtesy of Audemars

  74. I order yours tomorrow, now look at the time I saved you

  75. Mama, let me upgrade you

  76. Just when you think we had it all

  77. Big ends, condos, collecting cars

  78. Picture your life elevatin' with me

  79. Make you my project celebrity

  80. I keep your name hot in them streets

  81. But it's that little glimpse of light

  82. That makes a diamond really shine

  83. And you already is a star, but

  84. Unless you flawless

  85. Then your dynasty ain't complete without a chief like me

  86. Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you

  87. Switch your necktie to purple labels

  88. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  89. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  90. Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page

  91. Introduce you to some new things and

  92. Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

  93. Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

  94. Audemars Piguet watch

  95. Dimples in your necktie

  96. Hermès briefcase

  97. Cartier tie clips

  98. Silk-lined blazers

  99. Diamond cream facials

  100. VVS cuff links

  101. Six-star pent suites

  102. Partner, let me upgrade you, 'grade you

  103. Partner, partner, let me upgrade you, 'grade you

  104. Let me, let me, let me upgrade you, 'grade you

  105. Partner, partner, partner, let me upgrade you

Upgrade U

Yeah, B

Talk your shit

(Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you)

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 you, upgrade-)

I hear you be the block, but I'm the lights that keep the streets on

Notice you the type that like to keep 'em 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 (believe me)

Come harder, this won't be easy

Don't doubt yourself, trust me, you need me

This ain't a shoulder with a chip or a ego

But what you think they all mad at me for?

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)

And 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)

Partner, let me upgrade you, Audemars Piguet you

Switch your necktie to purple labels

Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

Partner, let me upgrade you, flip a new page

Introduce you to some new things and

Upgrade you, (I can) up, (can I?) up, (let me) upgrade you

Partner, let me upgrade you, upgrade you

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 play my part and let you take the lead role, believe me
