Berner – RICO lyrics

[Intro: Berner]
Love my friends
It's been a hell of a journey
Coz' on the beat
As I'm lookin' at this pile of cash, I recognize it could come back and bite you in the ass
If just one of 'em slip up

[Chorus: Berner]
This is the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO

[Verse 1: Berner]
First Red got caught up, then Jimmy got caught up (Lil' Jimmy)
When Marlo got his face all shot up
I was layin' low with product tryna be lowkey but I can't
I'm paranoid, trippin' out, I pray to God he don't hit the stands
I'm in my backyard diggin' in the sand, pullin' out boxes full of fifty grand
Where we landin D.E.A. waitin' on us, not again
They have pictures of my homeboy's girl in the bank droppin' me some ends
I used to pull out nine grand everyday
Bought a farm in Monterrey
Built a crib in Hanalei
Keep that bullshit away
You know the RICO is comin' for us soon
So I'm ridin' with the dirty Desert Eagle
Out in Arizona drippin' with my homeboys sippin'
Waitin' on another shipment, yeah, we move a little different
We don't rap about it, yeah, we really get down
Yeah, these sharks in these waters, while I float, I watch 'em drown
Make a T-Bone steak, cold Patrón to wash it down
Yeah, I'm flexin' out in Humboldt, got the hardest spot around
And we lookin' at the choppers when the harvest come around
Take our throw away phones out the window, toss 'em out
You see Ray get busy, Ezell get busy
But if they go to jail then they come and they get me
It's the RICO Act, look it up
If they grab one of us then we're fucked


[Chorus: Berner]
This is the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO

[Verse 2: Berner]
Why they take Phil from us and leave him in the Bentley?
When they took Jack from us, I felt empty
Got a house full of cash, need to wash every penny
Got the I.R.S. on my phone talkin' 'bout a levy
The Devil's try'na tempt me
They need trucks sent to Virginia but I'm up in the mornin' with my children thinkin' different
Like, 'fuck the game!'
I don't need it, I'mma step away
If they catch the homies they gon' grab me up anyway
Phone calls from inside they say they need me
And them summers in the sunset district, they sure weren't easy
Got a bunch of cream photos, got my full name in it
I'm duckin' all these cases but I still stay in it
When you make twenty mil', you look at the game different
And all you think about all day is lane switchin'
Yeah, I wanna be legit but my past still haunt me
Drug deals in Cotati, diggin' holes for dead bodies
Yeah, I'm choppin' game in follies, rollin' up a scottie
I been waitin' all week with this hundred pack on me (hurry up)
Money trails got me losin' sleep lately
If I send it and they get it, they gon' fuck around and raid me
If I drop it in the bank, it's less than two-K daily
I been waitin' all month for this fool to come pay me
When he showed up, I felt somethin' funny 'bout his vibe
I felt it in my stomach when I looked in his eyes


[Chorus: Berner]
It's the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO
This the RICO
They say that every single man's created equal
Every single dollar that I touch is illegal
They comin' for my people
This is the RICO
