Lyrics Ryan Leslie – Swiss Francs

Verse 1:
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

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

Hook:
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

Verse 2:
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

Hook

Vamp:
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’ now
x4
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

Hook
