Background
Soulja Boy wishes to begin working with artists, such as Jay-Z, and Eminem. Soulja Boy collaborated with American rappers Gucci Mane and Birdman on the track titled "Swag Flu" and also collaborated with Canadian teen pop singer Justin Bieber on the track titled "Rich Girl".Nicki Minaj, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Trey Songz, Jamie Foxx, Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown, Ray J, and Arab were in works to be featured on the album, but Trey Songz, 50 Cent, and Arab were the only artists who appear on the album out of those names. SOD's rapper JBar was supposedly to be featured on the album, but did not make it the final cut. The track titled "Mean Mug", a collaboration with 50 Cent, was released on September 23.
On April 23, 2011, after the album's release, during an interview with Complex, Way stated his internal disagreements with Interscope influenced the album's disappointing record sales. Way also blamed the timing of the album.
Soulja Boy
DeAndre Cortez Way (born July 28, 1990), better known by his stage name Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, or simply Soulja Boy, is an American rapper, record producer, actor, and entrepreneur born in Chicago, Illinois.
In September 2007, his single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. The single was initially self-published on the internet, and it later became a number-one hit in the United States for seven non-consecutive weeks starting in September 2007. On August 17 Way was listed at number 18 on the Forbes list of Hip-Hop Cash Kings of 2010 earning $7 million for that year.
Way has currently released three studio albums and one independent album: his debut studio album Souljaboytellem.com (2007) was certified platinum by the RIAA. However, his next two albums, iSouljaBoyTellem (2008) and The DeAndre Way (2010) did not match the commercial success of his debut, the latter only selling 100,000 copies, despite the success of several singles across both albums, such as "Kiss Me Thru the Phone" and "Turn My Swag On" (iSouljaBoyTellem) and "Pretty Boy Swag" (The DeAndre Way). Way digitally released his fifth studio album, Blessed, on July 28, 2015.

by: Soulja Boy(Chorus) x 2
Banana kush, purple drink, extended clips, what you think,
Man i pay cash, digital down, i do this shit, i do it big,
Banana kush, purple drink, extended clip, what you think
I pay cash, digital down, i did that shit, i do it big,
(Verse)
Its what i do, its how i live,
Fifty thousand a day, god damn i did it big,
Bro i do this shit, picking yellow stones,
Vanilla on the cone, the king on the throne,
Brush inside your home like my real home alone,
Then tell them leave me alone for i live too full of fun,
Purple drink for real, fresh for the deal,
Five on for real, am getting how i live,
Am telling you this shit, am spitting you this shit,
Am reminiscing back then when i didn't have shit,
Now did they hit the block, a hundred cake for real,
Five on my plate bitch tell me how you feel,
This is how i live, i've been have rex,
I've been have cash, fifty thousand g's in my back pack,
Damn am the shit, damn you a bitch,
Damn we so hot, as i reminiscing like my sniff am thinking
(Chorus) x 2
(Verse)
Question of the day, why do niggas hatin me
Because i pulled up in mercedes that was A.M.G,
All black twenty two, tainted like a tall cat,
Get your ass smashed quick, with that fucken ball back,
Ran around town was the word in my neighbourhood,
Grapes in the air so we really don't care,
Aint no hollin woop, like my name real laflare,
Stay we hear money here, and am on snatchin no hair
It's cash everywhere, in the starch in the chair,
I got cash in this dash in this past in the air,
As i pass of the curt's, smoking herb bitch you heard,
Whats the word in my crew, you get flipped like a bird,
And am dooze off the roof seduce twenty off my cake,
Man damn am the shit, man pass me the case,
Yeah, young dre, man call me a boss,
Cortez in this bitch, S.O.D break them off
(Chorus)
