Annotation

"Crack a Bottle" "The money ain't a thing when you party with me / It's what we into, it's simple / We ball out of control like you wouldn't believe / I'm the napalm, the bomb, the Don, I'm King Kong / Get rolled on, wrapped up, and reigned on / I'm so calm, through Vietnam, ring the alarm"
