[English]

Uh

Uh

Uh

If I'm in control, there's no room for competition

She's the first to hate me, but always uses me as a reference

There's no rivalry, I barely even remembered you existed

I see a lot of people wanting gossip, it's a thing of fame, I have no patience

Black key only wears Tommy,

I have diamonds on my neck

Shining rope, rose gold

I have awards at home on my shelf

Car of the year, I have a Jaguar

For a ride to the party, it's a thousand bucks

Coconut water, red and whiskey

Today we toast with Royal Salute

The shirt is Christian or Planet

Little black girl who carries Adidas Bounce

Man, you don't know me, I don't have a nickname, just say my name

Today on Throwback Thursday, guess who booked the VIP box?

MPIF is a boss black woman, a picky drake with a big butt

Wherever I go, I feel comfortable

Man, I don't fight for free

You won't find anyone like me

I say that with confidence

For every room, a window

For every ending, a new beginning

If even God acts in silence

Why would I keep explaining?

Pay attention, you're begging

I keep stacking hundred dollar bills

Worry about if he's with someone else

My worry is which car I should buy

Minha preocupação qual carro eu compro

Amina

Dominates these streets like Zazau

Malibu

With natural pineapple juice

Capital

What we're looking for for ourselves is normal

Amina

Dominates these streets like Zazau

Malibu

With natural pineapple juice

Capital

What we're looking for for ourselves is normal

(Uh, Amina)

Breed dog

Even in my worst phase, I'm still a threat

In my worst phase, you can't surpass me

Spend a day in my shoes, you wouldn't last

That's why I compete, only with myself

If I want it, it's done, I take everything that's mine

You're waiting for me, you're a distraction

I focus on the plan, they talk online

They cry in the bathroom, can't handle 10 seconds

Eye to eye

Online it seems like hate

In person, a photo

And they say it's a fact, I'm the best

Those who get hit remember

Those who hit forget

Those who say what they want

Hear what they deserve

You and I, we're going to turn to dust

So I'm going to humiliate

I won't have mercy

I don't know how to stop

I don't know truce

Even without playing, they use me as a rule

2T,

go, go to mess things up

Take your comfort

I like to go down

I like to go down just to go up again

I like to play,

just to see him crazy

He likes, likes how I flex

Confident, always hustling

And if I retire, it'll be on my own terms

I made history

I'm always counting

I have fun

You guys are doubting

Evolving

They're projecting, observing

Time is passing

The rule is clear, I'm in charge

If I did it once, I'll do it again

Amina

Malibu

Capital

What we're looking for for ourselves is normal

Ahn

Ahn

Re-tro

Se eu to no quadrado não tem espaço pra concorrência

Ela é a primeira que me odeia, mas sempre me usa de referência

Não existe rivalidade, eu nem lembrava da sua existência

Vejo várias que quer fofoca, coisa da fama, não é paciência

Preta chave só veste Tommy,

no meu pescoço tem diamante

Corda brilhando, ouro rosé

Tenho prêmios em casa na minha estante

Carro do ano, tenho um Jaguar

Pra rolê no baile, é miliduque

Água de côco, red e whisky

Hoje nós brinda Royal Salute

Blusa é Christian ou então é Planet

Pretinha que porta Adidas Bounce

Mano cê não me conhece, não tenho apelido, só fale meu nome

Hoje no TBT, adivinha quem que fechou o camarote

MPIF é preta chefe, drake enjoada da bunda grande

Onde eu chego fico a vontade

Mano não brigo por caridade

Igual a mim cê não acha nunca

Isso digo com tranquilidade

Pra cada quarto, uma janela

Pra cada final, um recomeço

Se até Deus age no silêncio

Pra que eu vou ficar explanando

Atenção cê tá mendigando

Nota de cem eu sigo empilhando

Preocupa se ele ta com outra

Minha preocupação qual carro eu compro

Amina

Domina essas rua igual zazau

Malibu

Com suco de abacaxi, natural

Capital

Nós em buscando pra nós é o normal

Amina

Domina essas rua igual zazau

Malibu

Com suco de abacaxi, natural

Capital

Nós em buscando pra nós é o normal

(Ahn, Amina)

Cadela de raça

Na pior fase, ainda sou ameaça

Na pior fase, vocês não me passa

Um dia na minha pele, vocês não aguenta

Por isso eu compito, comigo mesmo

Se eu quero já era, eu tomo tudo que é meu

Ta me esperando, cês são distração

Eu foco no plano, falam na net

Choram no banho, não 'guenta 10 segundos

Olho no olho

Online parece, ódio

Pessoalmente, foto

E falam que é fato, eu sou a melhor

Quem apanha lembra

Quem bate esquece

Quem fala o que quer

Ouve o que merece

Eu e você, vamo virar pó

Então vou humilhar

Eu não vou ter dó

Não sei parar

Não conheço trégua

Até sem jogar me usam de régua

2T,

bota bota pra foder

Toma seu consolo

Gosto de descer

Gosto de descer só pra subir de novo

Gosto de jogar,

só pra ver ele louco

Gosta, gosta de como eu flexiono

Confiante, sempre tram-pando

E se eu me aposentar, vai ser a-ban-dono

Fiz história

To sem-pre con-tando

Me divirto

Vo-cês du-vi-dando

Evoluindo

Eles projetando, observando

Tempo ta passando

A regra clara, eu comando

Se eu fiz uma vez, eu faço de novo

Amina

Malibu

Capital

Nós em buscando pra nós é o normal
