[English]

Running up them checks

Running up them bags yeah

Freshman up next

Pls don't get mad

I been dippin and slidin'

And winning and riding

You cross my mind on a jet while I'm plotting

I'm on

I'll see u when I get home

Just touch down when you hit my phone

And usually I don't do this but I gotta tell ya

I really care about & the way you feelin'

Trust me lil baby yep I wanna see you

Hitting my line like you wanna come through

Much as I want too ain't stressing off a boo

Saying you need me & don't know what to do

Know I

Gotta get it either way

No I can't have nothing in my way

I like you but i don't really have time tho

I'm crushin' on money bags and bankroll

Know I

Gotta get it either way

No I can't have nothing in my way

I like you but i don't really have time tho

I'm crushin' on money bags and bankroll

If it's money or it's boys you know what I put on top

I put in all them hours so I'm making back a lot

You pressed and actin' up like u won't wait now

Who else gon' make you feel like outta space now

Gotta be patient

We gon have a celebration

Like you havin' graduation

Like you popping with your favorite

Trust me 'lil baby yep I wanna see you

Hitting my line like you wanna come through

Much as I want too ain't stressing off a boo

Saying you need me & don't know what to do

Know I

Gotta get it either way

No I can't have nothing in my way

I like you but i don't really have time tho

I'm crushin on money bags and bankroll

Know I

Gotta get it either way

No I can't have nothing in my way

I like you but i don't really have time tho

I'm crushin on money bags and bankroll
