[English]

(Wheezy outta here)

Drivin' in foreigns, my rims so big

The lips be scrapin' the curb (Skrrt)

I'm the man, I swapped my last ho out

'cause she get on my nerves (Get)

Walk in the store, I spend a lot, what I'm makin' is absurd

Used to spend all day in the projects, now I'm tucked up in the 'burbs

Pull up on my opps and I'ma hit 'em where it hurt

Pour a deuce in a Fanta, I'm a fiend for pourin' syrup

Soon as my plane touch down, I turn my phone on and it chirp

Sometimes I don't wanna see no one for days, on Do Not Disturb

You could try me if you want

But the last one died and got put on a shirt

I been in the game seven years, but I was high, so it's all a blur

Damn right I'm gettin' a lot, but I still ain't get what I deserve

Lost a watch, it cost me so damn much, thank God I had it insured

These racks too big, can't fold up, in a Trackhawk, doin' donuts

They pay me to be a loner, just a young life full of stoners

Take a G6 and I blast off, when I fuck, I'm rubbin' her mask out

Shit get tough, somehow I manage, to myself, I'm doin' damage

Drivin' in foreigns, my rims so big

The lips be scrapin' the curb (Skrrt)

I'm the man, I swapped my last ho out

'cause she get on my nerves (Get)

Walk in the store, I spend a lot, what I'm makin' is absurd

Used to spend all day in the projects, now I'm tucked up in the 'burbs

Pull up on my opps and I'ma hit 'em where it hurt

Pour a deuce in a Fanta, I'm a fiend for pourin' syrup

Soon as my plane touch down, I turn my phone on and it chirp

Sometimes I don't wanna see no one for days, on Do Not Disturb
