Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Ay, first off, I don't respect no rats

I ain't never dropped a dime, not even when I got those racks

Look, I was raisin' hell before the Hellcat, yeah

I can put you on, run and tell that, look

I'll pop a nigga like a wheelie, huh

I crack me a seal, pour out my feelings

Uh, I'm standin' at the stars in the ceilin'

Uh, I'm standin' on my heart while it's healin'

Look, it's hard for me to find some inspiration

I pray for this generation, I need me a vacation

I'm tryna clear my thoughts, no one to call on lately

Wanna know my whereabouts? I'm with the stars now, lately

Lord, pray for me

We just a product of our environment

We just some young niggas strugglin' who got tired of this

From where them crackers quick to hang you like an ornament

I'm just thankful that we made it out

Tryna show 'em that the only way we ball

Can't complain at all, bitch, we made it far

Sad 'bout my nigga phone, I hate when he can't make that call

Come to you with my hand out? Shit, that ain't me at all

I don't give no damn 'bout what you did

We came up from hustlin', kickin' doors, don't know what you did

I'm a real hustler, I was rich when I got two kids

Then I had two more kids, bring that shit to your crib

Look, back in '19, 2020, I'm goin' too big

Throwin' light like Pop, but I got whole life on B.I.G

Look, R.I.P. V.I.G., my new AP a B.I.G

Wrecked the Benz, tryna check the time, too many VVs

Look, put some ice on there, she mindless, let's go skiin'

Yeah, put a dime on him, he won't make it to the weekend

Playin' all defense, saw shit I can't prevent

And the game full of weirdos, it be hard for me to fit in

I kicked the door down and act like I ain't leave it open

I'm 'bout to cop that new 'Bach and I still got the old one

Don't get your ass wet, we clap shit, make noise

They was talkin' 'bout my flow, so I went back to the old one

Yeah, look, diamonds in my tee, shit frozen

I like my bitches dark, Kelly Rowland, yeah

I would give you my heart, but it's broken, yeah, yeah

I can't even show no emotion, yeah, yeah

Look, standin' from afar at the ocean

Before I got some motion

Before we ever bust a check, man, we was on some broke shit

Before I ever touched the pen, they told me I was chosen

Before the fame, these bitches call me daddy, I know

Look, I know Justin and Liberty gon' beat out

I know Bubba and Veli and Zelly, they gon' be out

I can't speak on them other niggas, I can't vouch for them

Make me tweak on all these niggas like I'm C-Note

I can't trust a soul, so I won't be 'round

Held the street down myself, it was gone, so I know he proud

He took over the P now, he sent it to me now

Don't make me send them youngins to your spot and let 'em freestyle
