[English]

Hey

Hello

This is a revolution

Yo

As we proceed

Yeah

Made a promise to my momma

That I'll bless her with some grandkids, she can spoil 'em

Until then, I'm getting dollars, I'm just doing what I gotta

Can a man live? And it's all day (homie)

I'm a God, give the whole squad a job, get 'em all paid

Came a long way from all-state, yeah

Now we All-American (salute me, shoot me)

Shit we All-American (salute me, shoot me)

Swear to God I put the hero in heroin

These flows, kilos

I could sell snow to a ski slope

I could sell evil to the devil

Non-believers to a temple

Shit, I could sell water to a speedboat

And these eyes is iconic

I went pro, made profit

Now I keep some dead face in my pocket

Gettin' faded, I been stoned all week

But what's a God without a little OD? Just a G

Twisting my weed, easing my mind

Why you worry about me?

Stop tripping, I'm fine

Swear this bitch done lost it lately

You put the hoe in honest baby, so complicated

And I may be a little arrogant, I'm aware of it

I know (goddamn)

I got a problem, I'ma take care of it

Weight I'm carrying, gotta let it go

(It won't hold me down no more)

Made a promise to my momma

That I'll bless her with some grandkids, she can spoil 'em

Until then, I'm getting dollars, I'm just doing what I gotta

Can a man live? And it's all day (homie)

I'm a God, give the whole squad a job, get them all paid

Came a long way from all-state, yeah

Now we All-American (salute me, shoot me)

Shit we All-American (salute me, shoot me)

We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere

We can't be stopped now

'Cause this rap shit's for life

We ain't goin' nowhere

We ain't goin' nowhere

We can't be stopped now

'Cause this rap shit's for life

Back then I had a dream

I'd get this money, man

I know, my life would change

Just need a hundred grand

Back then I had a dream

I'd get this money, man

I know, my life would change

Just need a hundred grand

Yeah

Back when I first made a hundred grand

Yeah, back when I first made a-

Yeah

Back when I first made a hundred grand

Yeah

Yeah, back when I first made a hundred grand

Thought I was the shit (oh, you the shit?)

When I first made a hundred grand

Thought I was the king (oh, you a king?)

When I first made a hundred grand, couldn't tell me nothin' (I ain't sayin' nothin')

When I first made a hundred grand, made a hundred grand (let me get some money)

Yeah, okay, back then they used to call me little

But now I'm ridin' something clean in a coat made of armadillo

They haven't got the memo, they sayin' I'm the shit though

Tryna make it complicated when this shit is simple

Tell me what you wanna be, what your dreams is

A hundred G's in my jeans, I'm a genius

Sin every day, someone save me please

And get schooled, homie, change degrees

I'm the plug, what you need though? (What you need though?)

I'm goin' beast mode

I keep a freak, even when she underwater she can deep throat

(Wait what?)

I made a mil' before I pay the bill (okay)

'Cause fools worried about a wave, I'm a NAVY seal (okay)

Come with me, I can make your life change for real (woo)

Always had a dream of stuntin'

It ain't nothing unless we runnin' shit (woo)

Just a young motherfucker with a plan (with a plan)

Thought I was the man

Back when I first made a hundred grand

Thought I was the shit (oh, you the shit?)

When I first made a hundred grand

Thought I was the king (oh, you a king?)

When I first made a hundred grand, couldn't tell me nothin' (I ain't sayin' nothin')

When I first made a hundred grand, made a hundred grand (let me get some money)

(Time flies) Let me get some money

Let me, let me get some money

(Yeah, you know time flies) Malcolm, can we go to mall?

I just need some shoes and my nails (try to catch it) and then can we stop at Chipotle?

(Time flies) Let me get some money

Let me, let me get some money (yeah, you ever see the way time flies?)

Let me get some money (try to catch it)

Let me, let me get some money
