On-screen text
This is how I know someone
will be successful.
Everyone compliments this
car.
But when I go out and
someone compliments that
car,
and they go, yo, bro,
let me ask you a question.
Did you buy it for the ride off?
That's how I know I'm talking to someone
that's probably actually going to be successful.
Listen, if you're a car guy,
I'm not saying don't go out
and buy your dream car, but
understand the game.
