LYRICS
SWISS FRANCS (R. Leslie)
VERSE 1
When I was young, I had a dream of being President
Went to Harvard - the best money I ever spent
Graduated young - now they're saying I'm a mogul
People ask me what my address is I tell them: Global
New headquarters: down Wall Street
Went from being broke in Harlem, now we all eat
Twin Benz trucks - call that double parked
Plus every record I make is a f*ckin' work of art
I'm gettin' more money since I went independent
And they never seen me coming - had my windows tinted
The crown prince: pride of my community
And when I fly I want diplomatic immunity
My passport is stamped out - I need some pages
When I die they gon' act out my life on movie stages
Got a hired gun - motto is "Protect the Chief"
Keep these haters from scheming on this Patek Philippe
HOOK
Bills foreign, Swiss Francs
Before I die I need my money in a Swiss Bank
I can see right through these haters: fish tanks
Plus they frowning at my watch like my wrist stinks
Bills foreign, Swiss Francs
Before I die, stack my money in a Swiss Bank
I can see right through these haters: fish tanks
Plus they frowning at my watch
VERSE 2
The campaign is global - the dollar ain't what it used to be
Switch a franc for a dollar, you get like 1.3
It's too many haters, it's only one of me
And they mad 'cause I'm everything they wanna be
30,000 feet - I'm outta reach
Lifestyle is extravagant, word to Robin Leach
On the road, homie, I ain't seen my bed in weeks
What I need a bed for? Money never sleeps!
So I don't either, I need it cash
Security got a pistol it's underneath the dash
And he ain't scared to use it. I don't need to worry
You ain't got my deposit, homie, you need to hurry!
Call Shiv, he got my schedule it's full of dates
My life is like a recurring birthday, it's full of cake
One spot at the top that mean it's you or me
Supermodel ex's? yeah, I got 'bout 2 or 3
HOOK
VAMP
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now (4x)
Cuz if you ain't talkin' bout that money
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now
Said if you ain't talkin' bout that money
I can't hear a word you're sayin' now

Facts
No cap detected 💯 Ryan Leslie 😍 where you at? More music
2020, and I still listen to this song!!! Jamming out while I work out
Holland is waiting for you man!
2021 still bouncing with that sound. Black business on the rise
Jamming it in 2022
Still jamming to this in 2022
I live in Vegas and I play this all the time😝😝😝😝😝
I love all his songs,he never disappoints.The instruments and the beat are so in-sync!!!!!!!!!!
The great thing about Ryan is that his style has never changed. He has his own unique sound which he's kept rocking since his first album. I pray that never changes.
My current mood can be attributed to this song. I think Ryan speaks to our inner ambitions. He is a voice for that alpha Male who is under-appreciated. That hustler who has outgrown their own circle. He is the vision, that future, that grind that we all aspire to reach. Many of us won't admit it, but he is one of the greatest symbols of independence that capitalism has ever breaded.
Harry McRae facts! I agree. He's so authentic with it and such an ispiration. People don't want to give him credit because he is too real and used his own mind to make moves and it pays off
You're poor
lol ur such a tool
Very articulate
I agree! He motivated me to make my own beats and handle the business and music without askin anyone for help!
I’ll forever be inspired by Ryan Leslie
no other artiste has done better
Ryan is so under rated, on the for real. He is the shit !
This song makes me feel like ive made it in life

Boss music. Ryans music keeps me focused.

I have faith in you Leslie. It only takes 1 smash hit and you're through. It's right around the corner. I'll be watching your footsteps. You've been heard in the Netherlands, Europe. Much love

R.les is simply the truth. Everything he touches is platinum made because quality is his heart. No over the top exaggeration in his rhythms. The man just does it all. Has a harvard education, plays almost anything, sings, produces, raps, gives back, and does it all with class and swagger of a certified boss.
Dope Song, Thinking in investing in Swiss stocks.
Bro did you invest? They are printing the Francs and they buy US stocks. That's called alchemy
I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL SUMMER, AND MY WAIT IS OVER! LES IS MOREEEEE

I can say that I asked Mr Ryan Leslie perform this song for me & my sister privately before a concert! Actually his message became reality. Before I gonna have my money (Bitcoin) stacked on my cold storage! Hands down to one of the few ones i look up to, talented + entepreneurial skills into 1.
arab money? nah dude. swiss francs is where its at ;) busta rhymes gotta learn that
The King!! Respect from Portugal!!!
I LISTEN WHILE STUDYING CPA
R Les is criminally underrated.
I want this instrumental!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im with you starting from the R Les competition, Mr Leslie. Lets rock with it on your new album!
Listen to this while i'm hustli'n🙂
Educated, classy and charismatic! Respect Mr Leslie!
Get your songs back on Spotify, please.
So sophisticated with much talent! He needs to move to europe for good :-).
I feel like as an artist, he is much more appreciated in the netherlands, france, germany....
than back home. We ♥ Ryan L.
"When I was young I had the dream of being president..." - Bro, you should have pursue that dream. You would be a much greater president than the blonde toupee now 😂🙌🏻
We need this man .... real music and its deep n the music nasty...BEAST!!!
what happened to him
He's still making millions and music. Just type up his name. You'll see his new album
Ryan Leslie isn't underrated. It's just the music industry that know they want him but they would try to tell him to chanhe his music style (just look at Chris Brown, Rihanna, Usher etc... almost everone of them release singles that appeal to the europen music, electro/house) Ryan Leslie won't do that he's his own boss! We keep supporting him!
for everyone who has credits in swiss francs lol
Eheheheheheheheh
I'm Swiss and yessssir dope song.

Leslie is an iconic artist who spews talent, and he really doesnt need any help promoting his art, his true fans know whats up, and thats that.
