The Recipe Lyrics

[00:08.13] Smokin' weed with you
[00:10.95] 'Cause you've taught me to
[00:15.22] Smokin' weed with you
[00:18.46] 'Cause you've taught me to
[00:21.90] Every mornin' when I wake up, uh
[00:24.59] Money on my mind, good time to get caked up, uh
[00:28.35] Sunshine comin' through my blinds, I'm livin', but
[00:31.58] Really though, it's never enough
[00:32.99] Ten million, that's a must, livin' in California
[00:35.65] Everybody wanna visit for women, weed and weather
[00:38.54] They come for women, weed and weather
[00:40.74] For the women, weed and weather
[00:42.04] From all around the world for the women, weed and weather
[00:44.24] These niggas'll kill fo' that, put it in yo' grill fo' that
[00:47.68] Still everybody gotta build fo' that, me? I make mill's off that
[00:51.14] How the fuck y'all can't see I ride, when I drive, down the block? And
[00:54.61] You look outside
[00:55.67] H-A-T-E in yo' eyes, I enter big money for the enterprise
[00:59.22] It's a beautiful day, I guess, for a bitch to roll wit' Andre, I guess
[01:03.02] Roll it up, baby
[01:03.84] Come and lift that dress then roll it up for me when I'm stressed
[01:06.46] You might catch me in Atlanta lookin' like a boss
[01:10.57] New Orleans and then Miami, party in New York
[01:14.00] Texas I be screwed up, Chi-Town I be really pimpin'
[01:17.98] But nothin' like my hometown I'm forever livin'
[01:21.12] Women, weed and weather
[01:22.52] They come for women, weed and weather
[01:24.68] For the women, weed and weather
[01:25.98] From all around the world for the women, weed and weather
