[English]

Keep that glock in the Air Force One

Bust a choppa in his face, this ain't no game, this ain't no ten

You get shot if they gave me a ten

You the cause, you be dropping them tens

Bitch is shot like you need you a lens

You get popped like a Percocet ten

I get one and I turn it to ten

I get ten and I turn it to fifty

Money dirty, it turned me to Diddy

You like strippers, that's ass in the titties

Wanna fuck her, just come on along with me

Ain't no question, no passing the frisbee

Unless it be class for the TD

I love me a bitch that can spend money with me

Get hot, hit a dive like I'm Bobby or Whitney

I rock everywhere like I'm bubblegum

Intelligent, baby, I feel like I'm Stunna

I'm Iron Man, check out the crease in the stunner

Got so many bands that they want me to marvel

Black lives matter, this shit for the heart

He a lie, I rose at the top

My diamond so wet, guess I know it's the heart

These niggas hating on me, tell them keep on

Double G, pillow, that's something to sleep on

Walking your ho in the left

That means I'm getting my creep on

Money machine to keep getting this beef on

Fuck what you saying, I'm still getting paid

I used to work for a minimum wage

I used to trap it to five for the Jays

Ooh

Keep that glock in the Air Force one

Bust a choppa in his face, this ain't no game, this ain't no ten

You get shot if they gave me a ten

You the cause, you be dropping them tens

Bitch is shot like you need you a lens

You get popped like a Percocet ten

I get one and I turn it to ten

I get ten and I turn it to fifty

Money dirty, it turned me to Diddy

You like strippers, that's ass in the titties

Wanna fuck her, just come on along with me

Ain't no question, no passing the frisbee

Unless it be class for the TD

I love me a bitch that can spend money with me
