Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous (Kool G Rap & DJ Polo song)

"Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" is a braggadocio rap in which Kool G Rap boasts of his extravagant lifestyles, success with women and luxurious possessions. The song's hook samples the lines "I'm representin, puttin' Queens on the map" and "Playin' big willie style with the chauffeur. Yaknawmean?" from the Lost Boyz song "Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz" and Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s "Player's Anthem", respectively. A heavy piano sample from the Fonda Rae song "Over Like a Fat Rat" can also be heard throughout.
