Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hm, hm, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, woah

Uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah (Will A Fool) uh

My ex had told my my cousin I'm a superstar

'Cause all around the world they know who we are

Running behind that money got me missing my bed

Chasing after that paper, I'll sleep when I'm dead

Back to back doing shows, I caught a jet to that bag

Just in case it get rainy when I check the forecast

I put the money in the floor 'cause I'm too scared to go back

It took an hour and a half to count a million in cash

Tell me why she blowing up my cellular?

Gotta see if I can fit you in my schedule

She said listen when I told you I wasn't regular

'Cause now I'm gone, we cross the globе with all this flexing stuff

Hopping on and off jets and stuff

Phone ring on thе way to the show

Sister called me, said she heard me on the radio, uh

Auntie called me, say she saw me on the TV screen

She's proud of me and happy that I'm chasing dreams

Even at your best (yeah, yeah)

Never knew it'd come to this

You know often

I get so lost in my thoughts just thinking 'bout losses

And I remember where I come from, I already won (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Already won, already won

You already won, yeah, yeah, you already won

I'm not a regular-degular

She telling my business, you niggas be letting her

I just be telling her love me

Just give me some time, fit me in your schedule (schedule)

I wanna spoil you, I wanna wife you, I want you to keep being sexual

All of these bitches be on me in videos, I keep it professional (professional)

I'm on the road for a minute, some cities ain't got no service (ain't got no service)

You know you already won, deep talks, you ain't gotta be nervous (be nervous)

I text you late on the e-way, I found myself keep swervin'

I found myself off Perky, I found myself keep purgin'

(For sure, for sure) Do I love you?

(For sure, for sure) Am I for you?

(For sure, for sure) She want for sure (for sure)

I hold in shit that hurt me bad so you won't think I'm weak

I stay up late to think 'bout us, she think I'm sleep

Phone ring on the way to the show

Sister called me, said she heard me on the radio, uh

Auntie called me, say she saw me on the TV screen

She's proud of me and happy that I'm chasing dreams

Even at your best (yeah, yeah)

Never knew it'd come to this

You know often

I get so lost in my thoughts just thinking 'bout losses

And I remember where I come from, I already won

I can't really look at this shit halfway empty when it's halfway full

Already won, already won (I take everything that come with this life)

You already won, yeah, yeah, you already won (for sure, already won)

Already won

Already won, already won

Yeah
