[English]

I finna stand tall in it, I'm all in it (uh-uh)

You be on my back like a cardigan (cardigan)

Call her again, I'm in love with your friend (call her again)

We be doing dirt, you hide the evidence (evidence)

It's evident that you ready to rock (ready to rock)

Hop up in my Jeep and put your pride to the side (pride to the side)

Go against the gang, you must be ready to hide (ready to hide)

Swangin' on the corner, bang my TEC 'til it pop (TEC 'til it pop)

I thought I was a goner, blaze to your honour

Burn marijuana, teeth diamond designer

Hotter than the sauna, I met her at Salata

Bought lil' baby Prada, she popped it for the dollar

Don't stick around, you should save yourself (save yourself)

But you can hit my phone if you need some help (needed some help)

Don't stick around, you should save yourself (save yourself)

But you can hit my phone if you need some help (needed some help)

I'm finna stand tall in it, I'm all in it (uh-uh)

You be on my back like a cardigan (cardigan)

Call her again, I'm in love with your friend (call her again)

We be doing dirt, you hide the evidence (evidence)
