Crossing of the First

I'm in a totally new land, I can't understand
Are they really injecting fat into their glands?
Cars and jewelery is translated to whips and chains
Refrain from this lifestyle to keep my brain
But that's what in right now, what's hot and popular
I've gotta examine it faraway, give me some binoculars
I'll dissect this thing and look through a microscope
I hope the Pope doesn't hear about this, nope!
Thousand dollar outfits, shunning all the misfits
Outcasts out classed, drop plastic to be really fit
Tailored this and that, customized Gucci hats
You really wearing that? That seems a little wack
But they tell me it's hot in the game, rock for some fame
Act bolder and get yourself a diamond studded cane
Citizens of this world are Ego powered
I'll get crushed here if I don't look out: miso shower

A dangerous realm where the top are jets
No souls around here, the Devils' been making bets
I'm venturing into something totally unknown
I'd like to phone home, can't breathe in this warzone
Avenues of revenue, princess cut diamonds in it
Rose all day, thousand dollar champagne: try a sip
Retirement funds are blown in a matter of minutes
These people know no limits and never finish
The party don't stop and no one knows when it starts
So they end up living it until the last thump of the heart
The water here is priced at an arm and limb
What pays is sin, that's whats in, implants: no gym
Am I really trying to get mixed in with these kind of people?
My wealth is little and feeble and theirs too regal
Will my attempts in this world seem so jocular?
Or will I get eaten by what's really popular?

Them boys don't know how and why I'm so clean
Give me a full cover to cover special edition magazine
You feel my VIBE, so I gotta Optimize
I've got SmartMoney so I maximize
So upscale with ambition double X L
The details of this well, simply I excel
Multi-national man, call me a Cosmopolitan
I make it hard to breathe, damn, get you some Oxygen
That's just LIFE! I'm such an Entrepreneur
I'm a Highlight Premiere with Fortunes galore
A Visionaire so rare with the commissionaire
They stare like I'm a Vanity Fair, I'm up there
In the Penthouse with a hunger Ethiopian
With a classic style that's priceless: Smithsonian
I'm an Esquire since I require a higher wire
Call me sire, hot and out of the dryer, never too tired
