[English]

Unstoppable, yeah, incredible, yeah, incredible, yeah.

This is the Unit.

You know how we do it.

I'ma make you dance to it.

Throw up your hands to it.

That's all about.

Girl, what's it gon' take to have you close to me?

Wrap my side waist close to me.

Let's start to undress you where they notice me, and you can have it all free your child.

Yeah. I know you like European cars.

Take a look at my garage.

Make, make we get on my nuts.

We in the middle when your legs to the sky.

I got that Bentley, Ferrari, the Lambo.

My car game crazy, I can't be seen.

The Aston Martin, Bugatti, the Range and the Rolls.

Got me freaking off with some high-class hoes.

You know with me, man, anything goes.

I had Shorty in the telly working all three holes.

Jesus, I bet you won't believe this unless I let you see this.

You deep throat my whole car.

Now digging this bitch is so hot.

I gotta take it to my hood, let them blow my whole block.

Yeah, I just happened to be what she likes.

She says I'm special, I'm like, "Yeah, baby, you're right."

A little Goose, a little Patron tonight, I had the club looking like a fucking zoo.

New music, you can't confuse it with the other clicks or crews.

It's the unit.

Girl, what's it gon' take to have you close to me?

Wrap my side waist close to me.

Let's start to undress you where they notice me, and you can have it all for your child.

I know you like European cars.

Take, take a look at my garage.

Make, make we get on my nuts, we in the middle when your legs to the sky.

Shorty came over, I told her, "I'ma move to her."

Told her, "To her ride, I'm rolling."

With a roll-up.

Fold her like a cobra.

Hold her 'til she sober, fold her and possess her 'til it's hard to bend over.

I'm a very special type.

I can't let you shine.

These rappers out they mind.

Don't compare to me, kid.

Take a look at my design.

My Louis fitting fine.

My jewelry might blind.

I'm a walking white line.

You can't get on my level, that'll take a lifetime.

And I got it at twenty-five, take your lifetime.

I don't care about crime.

Small notes is not mine.

I'ma be fine, stronger than white wine.

So girl, I ain't home 'til the early mornin'.

She's probably with the G-Unit, getting it on.

I told her she's Miss Right.

So it can't be wrong.

We were at it all night long.

Girl, what's it gon' take to have you close to me?

Wrap my side waist close to me.

Let's start to undress you where they notice me, and you can have it all for your child.

I know you like European cars.

Take, take a look at my garage.

Make, make we get on my nuts, we in the middle when your legs to the sky.

From one to ten, baby girl, off the rick-dock.

But I ain't tripping, I ain't Nelly and his stick-up.

Shake that ass, drop it low like a strip-club.

Shake that ass, drop it low like a strip-club.

Love again, on them drugs again.

Same clothes, same spots, same girls again.

Girls coming in and we popping them bottles.

By twelve o'clock, we be popping them bottles.

Fo' five bottles, the club go crazy like "ooh, ooh."

Oh, baby.

Okay, bottle rosé, Shorty see the porsche.

And I'm flying like "hey."

Drugs are pumping, watch me go zero to sixty.

Take it to the wrist, slot off your miss Sixty.

I know you heard of Fifty, I know you heard his name.

I Steve Nash these hoes, pass them all day.

Girl, what's it gon' take to have you close to me?

Wrap my side waist close to me.

Let's start to undress you where they notice me, and you can have it all for your child.

I know you like European cars.

Take, take a look at my garage.

Make, make we get on my nuts, we in the middle when your legs to the sky.

It's easy, man.

Believe me, man.

This is the Unit, it's the Unit, it's the Unit, this is how we do it.

Banks.

Yeah.

Yayo.

Fifty.
