[English]
30s in the city movin' slow$3,500 for the coat
Only real niggas keep you float
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Ladies order up the champagne, a whole lot of it
Ladies order up the champagne, a whole lot of it
Ladies order up the champagne, a whole lot of it
Painkillers, they got back pain, know you gotta love it
Tens out in N-Y, they in my hallways, I gotta lobby of 'em
Up and down with Chase, Monday nights, we made a hobby of it
Still down with the same dogs, man they never loved us
Gave my niggas all gold chains to remind me of it
(Only trill niggas I know)
We're still holding that old thing, tryna rob me of it
One time for the trill bitches that'll let me touch it
(30s in the city movin' slow)
I'm papi though, they get it poppin' with me when I'm out in public
(Straight up)
Flyin' through, I got a young 'Yonce with an Iggy on her
(Only trill niggas I know)
Me and Metro do the same drugs, got a lot of it
All these cups and damn, all these hoes, these niggas up to somethin'
All these cups and damn, all these hoes, these niggas up to somethin'
All these cups and damn, all these hoes, these niggas up to somethin'
Touch down out in H-Town, there it might get ugly
Its trill niggas wit trill niggas, a whole army of 'em
(Only trill niggas I know)
I run the check up, I'm a hot nigga, don't tell my 'countant on me
Free Rowdy Rowdy, free Bobby Bobby, them the Shmurda homies
Good lord!
30s in the city movin' slow
$3,500 for the coat
Only real niggas keep you float
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
30s in the city movin' slow
$3,500 for the coat
Only real niggas keep you float
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Only trill niggas I know
Dro with me, drank with me, lean like I'm Clark
Copping a Wraith then I throw it in park
Dro with me, drank with me, lean like I'm Clark
Copping a Wraith then I throw it in park
You niggas from Mars, you ain't got no heart
I know lil one gon come with that A and that R
(Only trill niggas I know)
I know lil one gon come with that A and that R
I'm counting, I'm dripping, I'm fiending
I'm not from this planet, I was abandoned
Trill niggas real niggas popping them pill niggas
I stack up a mil nigga like its a lil nigga
This for the one who's gon' load up the k for me
This for the ones that ran off and didn't wait on me
This for the ones that ran off and didn't wait on me
This for you bitch you ran off and did weight for me
(Only trill niggas I know)
Hood nigga fuck all that red carpet shit
Hood nigga I fuck a red carpet bitch
I put a Rolls and a Royce on my wrist
You can smell promethazine when I piss
I pray to God he bring me Actavis
Ain't nobody triller than Metro ain't nobody triller than Scooter
Hop on the private I do it, take all the mollies I do it
The Bentley put up with no mileage I do it
These Styrofoams with me legitimate
I'm proudly down these Percocets
We just want to be stoners lately, I've been on on on
This money an option, this weed is an option, this lean is an option
Your bitch is an option, her bitch is an option
