Lyrics Ryan Leslie

Ryan Leslie

Swiss Francs

When I was young, I had a dream of being President

Went to Harvard - the best money I ever spent

Graduated young - now they're saying I'm a mogul

People ask me what my address is I tell them: Global

New headquarters: down Wall Street

Went from being broke in Harlem, now we all eat

Twin Benz trucks - call that double parked

Plus every record I make is a fuckin' work of art

I'm gettin' more money since I went independent

And they never seen me coming - had my windows tinted

The crown prince: pride of my community

And when I fly I want diplomatic immunity

My passport is stamped out - I need some pages

When I die they gon' act out my life on movie stages

Got a hired gun - motto is "Protect the Chief"

Keep these haters from scheming on this Patek Philippe

Bills foreign, Swiss Francs

Before I die I need my money in a Swiss Bank

I can see right through these haters: fish tanks

Plus they frowning at my watch like my wrist stinks

Bills foreign, Swiss Francs

Before I die, stack my money in a Swiss Bank

I can see right through these haters: fish tanks

Plus they frowning at my watch

The campaign is global - the dollar ain't what it used to be

Switch a franc for a dollar, you get like 1.3

It's too many haters, it's only one of me

And they mad cause I'm everything they wanna be

30,000 feet - I'm outta reach

Lifestyle is extravagant, word to Robin Leach

On the road, homie, I ain't seen my bed in weeks

What I need a bed for? Money never sleeps!

So I don't either, I need it cash

Security got a pistol it's underneath the dash

And he ain't scared to use it. I don't need to worry

You ain't got my deposit, homie, you need to hurry!

Call Shiv, he got my schedule it's full of dates

My life is like a recurring birthday, it's full of cake

One spot at the top that mean it's you or me

Supermodel ex's? yeah, I got 'bout 2 or 3

I can't hear a word you're sayin' now Cuz if you ain't talkin' bout that money

I can't hear a word you're sayin' now

Said if you ain't talkin' bout that money

I can't hear a word you're sayin' now
