[English]

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Been 'bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up

Been 'bout this shit since I was a little, man I thought you know

Adolescent kid, I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school

But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty

Been 'bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up

Been 'bout this shit since I was a little, man I thought you know

Adolescent kid, I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school

But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty

Take a trip to Zanzibar off the bar, couple bars, cup o' hard, ooh

Couple bitches, give 'em hard, ooh, get me hard like what?

Take a trip to Zanzibar off the bar, couple bars, cup o' hard, ooh

Couple bitches, give 'em hard, ooh, get me hard like what?

Been about my shit I thought you knew

Been about my shit I thought knew, you fuckin' ho, I'll fuck you up

Ay, fuck or suck, save her with that uppercut

They ain't callin' in the background

Fuck my session up

Been 'bout this shit since '96, about you fuckin' up

Been 'bout this shit since I was a little, man I thought you know

Adolescent kid, I'm tryna rep, I'm tryna go to school

But that didn't work for me so I left, fuck the faculty

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes

Kickin' in doors for kilos, not no motherfucking petty crimes
