[English]

Making noise in South Gwinnett like Lou Williams

Sixth man like Lou Will, two girls and they get along like I'm...

Like I'm Lou Will, I just signed a new deal

I'm in the Matrix and I just took the blue pill

No drama with girls, keep that nonsense to yourself

I don't need anyone, I handle my own business

Like I told you, I thought I told you, but you didn't listen

Like Emeril, I'm in the kitchen, I'm a magician

I'm on top of it, I'm like MacGyver, I'm Michael Myers

I end careers and shut the lights off, this stuff is frightening

I knew it would end up like this, I'm practically psychic

Young but I'm making millions, I used to work the night shift

Work the night shift

Young but I'm making millions, I used to work the night shift

Work, work the night shift

Young but I'm getting every single thing I want

Everything I'm owed, you have to know

I'm here to mess with people's souls, my heart is cold

It's probably because I'm from the cold North, with all my crew

I know they want to see me fail, but I'm on a roll

I mean I'm back at it again, I'm here again

You know the truth, this isn't an act, I'm not your friend

Not your guy, I'm not your buddy, showing no love

I might act out like DeMarcus Cousins in public

I mean I'm back at it again, I'm here again

I didn't record this tape for the news

I'm not trying to win awards, that looks forced

There's nothing else like this

Young but I'm making millions, I used to work the night shift

Work the night shift

Young but I'm making millions, I used to work the night shift

Work, work the night shift

If you were worried about where

...

I've been or who I saw or

What club I went to with my friends

Baby don't worry, you know that you have me

I'm never worried about where

I'm at or who I saw or

What club I go to with my friends

Baby don't worry, I know that they have my back

[Spanish]

Boomin' out in South Gwinnett like Lou Will

6 man like Lou Will, 2 girls and they get along like I'm...

Like I'm Lou Will, I just got the new deal

I am in the Matrix and I just took the blue pill

No ho shit, no fuckin' ho shit, just save that for your shit

I don't need no fuckin' body, I run my own shit

Like told yah, I thought I told yah, you didn't listen

Fieri, I'm in the kitchen, I'm a magician

I'm on it, I'm like Macgyver, I'm Michael Meyers

Young but I'm makin' millions use to work the night shift

Work the night shift

Young but I'm makin' millions use to work the night shift

Work, work the night shift

Young but I'm gettin' every single motherfuckin' thing

It's prolly cause I'm from the snow, with all my woes

I know they wanna see me go, I'm on a roll

I mean I'm back on this again, I'm here again

You know the truth, this not pretend, I'm not your friend

Not your guy, I'm not your buddy, show no lovin'

I might go DeMarcus Cousins out in public

I mean I'm back on this again, I'm here again

Young but I'm makin' millions use to work the night shift
