[English]

Listen to this track, bitch (Drumma boy)

I do it again, huh, I do it again, I do it again

I do it again, say, bitch, I just want you to stretch, ya heard me? (I do it again)

Huh (woo)

I do it again, inevitable that don't make me better than you

I'm one in a million (I do it again, huh, yeah), not one to pretend

I fell down every time that I ever tried, but I got up again and did it again

I do it again, I know I was born to lose until I decided to win, I do it again

I do it again, I do it again, and do it again, and do it again, I do it again

Before I met Dreka, you remember, I was fuckin' with B

You remember my lil' sister Markida went to school at Martin Luther King

We was on Prescott you remember, me and lil' Andrew

B, remember I thought they was lyin' when they was sayin' that they had you

Pull up at your grandmother house, I receive some bad news

That was the second time I had learned, I couldn't trust nothin' that I love

I keep a straight face with a mug, back to the Southside in my zone

Back where they talk 'bout you when you gone, then they start hatin' on you when you on

None of this ever happen when you broke, your daughter start fuckin' at 13

You couldn't tell her nothin' 'cause she grown, niggas need money now then they owe

Drag your name you don't give 'em a loan, cutthroat ya then put one in your dome

Sneak diss you put your business in songs (ayy), weather the storm I'm holdin' my own

(Ayy, you lyin' 'bout all that shit you talkin' 'bout, boy)

I do it again, inevitable that don't make me better than you

I'm one in a million (I do it again, huh, yeah), not one to pretend

I fell down every time that I ever tried, but I got up again and did it again (I wouldn't lie to your face)

I do it again, I know I was born to lose until I decided to win, I do it again

I do it again, I do it again, and do it again, and do it again, I do it again

Nothin' ever give me the world, me and Reezy go and put in some work

Gangsta Riza got took of this earth, I'ma still hold it down for the turf

I started in the 9th Ward, I'm one of the Baton Rouge landlords (did)

When we was in Bridge City, you remember, I was brown hall big dawg (big dawg)

Learn how to sidestep on the walk (bum, bum), send a nigga now he chalked

Start program YCP accepted me and then they ship me out the Pineville

Me and Breadwinner Gunna control and I tell you won't get outta line here

I graduated with honors, Sargeant Sapp, I just had to remind him (I did)

I remember when I met Black Ray, you niggas was scared of him

I was up the road when Black Roy got changed, he was a head boss

And I don't know how you dealin' with the pain, remember you bred for it

And I'm a general, Bread Winner gang, and plannin' to bled for it (right over there, right over there)

I do it again, inevitable that don't make me better than you

I'm one in a million (I do it again, huh, yeah), not one to pretend

I fell down every time that I ever tried, but I got up again and did it again

I do it again, I know I was born to lose until I decided to win, I do it again

I do it again, I do it again, and do it again, and do it again, I do it again

You remember when they took me to the crib, boy, Trell, what I told 'em, huh?

Y'all niggas was dick pullin' 'cause of dude status, ya heard me?

I really love dude like a brother, ya heard me?

I said, "Look, the niggas I'm with, they fuckin' over me, but I'ma stick with 'em"

And I suffered nigga, I suffered

I ain't cutthroat no nigga, I ain't backstab no nigga

I went got my shit on my own, out the mud, you know what I'm sayin'?

When this first blueprint ain't workin', you-

Sometimes you gotta come up with yo' own blueprint to this shit, ya heard me, yeah?

What work for another may not work for you, yeah

I come up under Big Sam administration, you know I'm sayin'?

I been a big general, you know I'm sayin'?

We are to move as ghosts and be very humble and peaceful at all cost

But he that draws the sword should be met with brute force you know, all well
