[English]

I spend like a scammer, buying Jordans four at a time

I feel like CJ, my life’s a Grand Theft Auto

I don’t want friendships, a few have already let me down

I put into work whatever they give me as an advance

Baby, we’re ballin’, if I give you, you level up

If the girl’s got a man, I take away her seven lives

"Grrr Pow-Pow" I turn her to gold like Midas

If you fail, no second chance, blessings, take care

Money calls me, the streets call me

I merge the calls and double up right from my bed

I smoke broccoli, but I live a healthy life

My girl’s mixed, like my Dominican

I walk into Dior and max out the credit card

Smoke in the car, cloud of THC

I add five more to my BTC wallet

If I see the opp, I make ‘em dance ASEREJE

ASEREJE JA DE JE I pull the gun, and the fool starts to run

ASEREJE JA DE JE What kind of gangsta are you? You’re just a G online!

I don’t have friends in this industry of snakes

Let them all gather, I’ve heard there’s talk of war

Who warns doesn’t kill, fear the one who stays silent

Crying over hoes, what a pathetic gangsta

They put beef on my plate, but I’m not even hungry

But I add salt and Bismillah, I keep moving forward

God tested me, gave me strength, I’m a gangster

We’re at the top, things aren’t like they used to be

I’ll never go hungry again, I’m a real man

I stole the honey from their hive, that’s why they scream my name

I don’t join their side, I don’t trade gold for copper

If you didn’t stink so much, maybe you wouldn’t be poor

I walk into Dior and max out the credit card

Smoke in the car, cloud of THC

I add five more to my BTC wallet

If I see the opp, I make ‘em dance ASEREJE

ASEREJE JA DE JE I pull the gun, and the fool starts to run

ASEREJE JA DE JE What kind of gangsta are you? You’re just a G online!

[Spanish]

Gasto como un Scammer, las Jordan de 4 en 4

Me siento como CJ, mi vida es un Grand Theft Auto

No quiero amistades, ya me fallaron unos cuantos

Meto en un trabajo lo que te dan de adelanto

Baby estamos ballin' si te doy subes de liga

Si la gata tiene gato, le quito la 7 vidas

"Grrr Pow-Pow" la vuelvo oro como Midas

Si falla no hay 2nd Chance, Bendiciones, se me cuida

El dinero me llama, la calle me llama

Fusiono la llamada y duplico desde la cama

Fumo Broccoli, ma' yo llevo una vida sana

Mi Gl*pe es mulata, como mi Dominicana

Entro en la Dior y explotamos la CC

Humo dentro del carro, nube de THC

Meto 5 más en la Wallet de BTC

Si veo al OPP, lo pongo a bailar ASEREJE

ASEREJE JA DE JE Le saco la pist*l y el loco empieza a correr

ASEREJE JA DE JE ¿Tú Gangsta de qué? ¡Tú eres G en el internet!

Yo no tengo amigos en esta industria de perras

Que se junten todos que he escuchao' que hay rumor de guerra

El que avisa no mata, teme al que la boca cierra

Llorando por p*tas, menudo Gangsta de mierda

Ponen Beef en mi plato y ni siquiera tengo hambre

Pero le pongo Salt y Bismillah, le doy p'alante

Dios me puso a prueba, me dio fuerza, soy un Gangster

Estamos en el Top, las cosas no son como antes

No vuelvo a pasar hambre, yo sí soy un hombre

Robé la miel de su enjambre y por eso gritan mi nombre

Yo no me uno a su bando, yo no cambio Oro por Cobre

Si no huelieras tanto, quizás hoy no serias pobre

Entro en la Dior y explotamos la CC

Humo dentro del carro, nube de THC

Meto 5 más en la Wallet de BTC

Si veo al OPP, lo pongo a bailar ASEREJE

ASEREJE JA DE JE Le saco la pist*l y el loco empieza a correr

ASEREJE JA DE JE ¿Tú Gangsta de qué? ¡Tú eres G en el internet!
