[English]

You not like that, y'all going off a name y'all had before

Say he can't run but when I pop out cuts he getting low

I'm out of town but you know what it is, I get that load

(Aye Khali, Khali, bring me one of them Percs broski)

(Damn, bitch, I got 3 left)

Man, what?

Why you talking like you that? You really a sneaky disser

You be talking like a killer, you don't even keep your pistol

Oh yeah, Lil Durk you a snake, you say you'll kill your niggas

He ain't my dog no more, he an opp now, see him get the blika

iPhone chopper get the flicking, he a bitch, I keep my distance

You outside for no damn reason tryna take some pictures

You tryna take a Perc, I'm tryna take your niggas

Why niggas playing with Durk? Like I don't stand on business

Pill got me in no auto mode, tools like Autozone

He seen the opp and kept on moving like he ain't got opps no more

I heard that lil' shit that you said, that's don't get shot no more

Don't call me tryna explain yourself, ain't tryna talk no more

They gonna run in your motherfucking house

This gonna happen every fucking time you run your motherfucking mouth

Why you steady asking for my car like you be sliding?

On the gram like you be lurking knowing damn well you hiding

Heard the feds try to sign you to a deal, I heard you signed

Stopped my passport out the airport, had to go and cop a private

It ain't hard to find me, the trenches made me grimey

Opps made it cool for back door, got me slimey

Ran out of pills, I need some more, I be riding

.48 'em up from head to toe, he need dialysis

Heard you went to court and you stood up

Every time a nigga die, you get put up

Don't gotta ask me what I am, I throw my hood up

Take who chain from off who neck? Nigga, good luck

Yea, see (Man what?)

Blika blika, blik his ass, yeah (Gang)

Blika blika, blik his ass, yeah, yeah

Blika blika, yeah, blik his ass, yeah

Blika blika, yeah, blik his ass, yeah (What?)

Blika blika, blik his ass, yeah, yeah

Blika blika, yeah, blik his ass, yeah

Blika blika, shit, blik his ass, yeah (Shit)

Blika blika, shit, I bliked his ass, gang
