[English]

Okay, I'm dead fresh, Carlton

Bottega cardigan, Virgin Mary flower scent

Yeah, I pull up fresh as hell, every one of us got M's

Bitch talkin' 'bout send Zelle, ho, get out my ear

Money coming in, I put my nanny in Chanel

Made it out the slum, I got my granny pushing a Maybach

If I lose it all, is you gon' hold it down for real?

Hold up, hold up, this beat came from Pharrell

First of all, I am not a trick

Lil' bitty bitch, but I'll boss you up

I like when she post a picture in some shit

I bought for her

Pack out, rock out shows around the globe

I got my offers up

Fashion shows want me front row

I'm bringin' my coffee cup

Tryna make all my greats outweigh my goods

I hope my heart don't bust

You look better with my skin, your boyfriend's an eyesore

Really came from nothing

Living in a hotel with my sisters and my mama

First Black man to do it where I'm from, I'm like Obama now

Motorcade through traffic when I'm in the town

Dope-boy swag forever, I went Evisus off the Pelle

I got diamond songs, rock Air Force 1s, earrings like Nelly

She had tried to play, I hit her biggest opp, I'm petty

Country boy, I got four hundred bands inside a Chevy

I'm dead fresh, Carlton

Bottega cardigan, Virgin Mary flower scent

Yeah, I pull up fresh as hell, every one of us got M's

Bitch talkin' 'bout send Zelle, ho, get out my ear

Money coming in, I put my nanny in Chanel

Made it out the slum, I got my granny pushing a Maybach

If I lose it all, is you gon' hold it down for real?

Hold up, hold up, this beat came from Pharrell

Four-four-two, geek up the motor, this a old school summer

Inside looking like some crème brûlée

The leather soft as butter

Raise my right hand up to God and tell a lie

And tell your honor

I got rich, but every day I wake up looking for a come up

Louis Vuitton don, jacket cost a dub, yeah

Don Julio, turnin' up the club

I done cut her off, she's tryna pop out with a scrub

I'm putting on that stuff, yeah, Chrome Heart on the Uggs

I invest my money in the streets and watch it double

Million for the lawyer fees, don't care 'bout getting in trouble

I been that, fine shit in my section

I be making my watches match my car, I'm really flexing

I'm dead fresh, Carlton

Bottega cardigan, Virgin Mary flower scent

Yeah, I pull up fresh as hell, every one of us got M's

Bitch talkin' 'bout send Zelle, ho, get out my ear

Money coming in, I put my nanny in Chanel

Made it out the slum, I got my granny pushing a Maybach

If I lose it all, is you gon' hold it down for real?

Hold up, hold up, this beat came from Pharrell
