Lyrics & Translation

[English]
I guess it's that time, huh?
Montana
And I'll use you as a warning sign
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
And I'll use you as a focal point
So I don't lose sight of what I want
Coke Boys
South Bronx
And I moved further than I thought I could
Wave blues
Bravo
But I missed you more than I thought I would
It's the intro
Haan
And I'll use you as a warning sign
Mac and Cheese five
That if you talk enough sense, then you'll lose your mind
Coke Boy, baby
Bye-bye-bye
Bye-bye-bye
Ayy
Ayy, ayy, ayy
Montana
Frontin' like they gave me somethin' when I had to take it
Fresh out the hole, Christopher Walken, back of the Lincoln
What about the time wearin' the same clothes, stinkin'?
Hustlin' with a visa, could have got deported, what you was thinkin'?
Haan, man, I had to do it
My mom's welfare, my pops blew it
Tried to swallow my pride, but couldn't chew it
I been through it, I couldn't speak English fluent
Now she French kissin' me, cribs, cars be the newest
What?
Yeah, newest right? I remember when you used to slide
Now you on your Hollywood bullshit, right
Man, I was tryna buy the block, that Nipsey shit scared me
I lost Chinx, lost Max, but you don't hear me
You know I turned the East up, I sold a hunnid million records
