[English]

Big bag dont mean everything wavy

I got 99 problems like Jay Z

Caught a felony judge tried to slave me

Lost my grandmother RIP Mavy

I got money and niggas move shady

With my brother I put that on baby

My first car I might cop a Mercedes

In the stu everyday can't be lazy

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shooters no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell 'bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shooters no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing

I be shitting I make it look easy

I was innocent they ain't believe me

Ain't no lie I be seeing illusions

I can't figure who real it's confusing

I can't wait to get used to this lifestyle

I remember it could've been lights out

Bitches see me and scream lil TJay

Had to fuck up the spot for my bday

Hit the telly and catch me in BJ

Fuck this love I don't want me a skeezay

Give her dick now she feel like she need me

I'm too high always smoking on GG

Bankroll had to stack my chips

SB almost jacked my shit

I know these niggas gone hate me

I've been working hard driving me crazy

Big bag don't mean everything wavy

I got 99 problems like Jay Z

Caught a felony judge tried to slave me

Lost my grandmother R.I.P Mavy

I got money and niggas move shady

With my brother I put that on baby

My first car I might cop a Mercedes

At the stu every day can't be lazy

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shootas no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell 'bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shooters no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing

Dream big imma get to the top

Niggas waiting the tape bout to drop

Told my momma that I'm destined to pop

Y'all ain't think I would get what I got

But I stay true to myself

No losing myself

Improving myself

I'm on the road to the riches

Been asking the lord for forgiveness

I got two or three opps on the hitlist

Y'all be talking but they never did shit

You be better off minding your business

Hard headed I just don't like to listen

Mesclando I stay in the kitchen

Money coming and my palms is itching

Y'all niggas ain't no competition

Big bag don't mean everything wavy

I got 99 problems like Jay Z

Caught a felony judge tried to slave me

Lost my grandmother R.I.P Mavy

I got money and niggas move shady

With my brother I put that on baby

My first car I might cop a Mercedes

At the stu every day can't be lazy

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shooters no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell 'bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing

Bodies drop all the time I don't feel nothing

Swear to god y'all gone make me go kill something

Told my shooters no mercy or chill button

I done been through so much I don't feel nothing

I was down off the drugs, had me tooted

I was locked in my cell bout to lose it

They be watching me clocking my movements

They be plotting on catching me snoozing
