Bodyguards
I'm gonna have bodyguards
When I walk into a club
W ith my bodyguards
They'll say excuse me
That's Mr. Faust's table you're sitting at
(You can't sit there)
'Scuse me sir
That's Mr. Faust's chair your big ass is in
(You can't sit there)

'Scuse me motherfucker
Don't you understand motherfucker?

Devil: He's the man

Big tits, pretty little tits

Do I have your respect?
