Benny The Butcher - 36 Ounces and a Mercedes Lyrics

For the bitches who never judged us and hustlers who kept it solid (I'll remember you)
Out collectin' commas, my trap like direct deposit
We was catchin' boxes, reckless shoppin', so check your pockets (uh-huh)
I stretched and rocked it, I made double, and kept the profits (facts)
That's how they made me, yeah
36 ounces and a Mercedes (uh)
Nigga, my life a movie, trust me, Martin Scorsese couldn't write this shit (ah)
I'm on an island trip watchin' Tyson clips
I'm twice as rich, so my diamond kit does MacGyver tricks
This how bein' thorough look, I sold dope and got hooked (uh-huh)
Then took advice from a crook, but got my knowledge out a book
I rent a mansion in LA, and tell her call up her friends
It's f*cked up how enemies last longer than friends (ah, goddamn)

And all I wanted was a Benz and a brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, yeah
All we wanted was a Benz and a brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, let's go
I risked my freedom for that Benz and that brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, yeah
All we wanted was a Benz and a brick, yeah
36 ounces and a Mercedes, let's go

I got thoughts in my brain racin' but voices sayin' "Be patient"
We front-runners, we crunch numbers just like we Asian
Went from locked up in cages, now we popped up on stages
Without no guap from no major, my name on top of your playlist (ah)
Yeah, it's talent, but, you gotta know it's hustle involved (still hustlin')
It's eat or get ate, bein' from the jungle and all (trenches)
Before I got this comfortable, I had to stumble and fall (paid my dues)
My neck worth a hundred, for sure, I'm not as humble as y'all
That's how they made me, yeah, 36 ounces and a Mercedes, nigga
My heart still on Genesee & Bailey (in the hood)
I'm writin' shit about my life (my life), you think it's only a song?
Nigga, you crazy, 'cause it's back to playin' corners if I get lazy
Let's go (ah)

And all I wanted was a Benz and a brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, yeah
All we wanted was a Benz and a brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, let's go
I risked my freedom for that Benz and that brick, uh
36 ounces and a Mercedes, yeah
All we wanted was a Benz and a brick, yeah
36 ounces and a Mercedes, let's go
