[English]

I got gas on deck and you know that fool

I get everybody high in your middle school

I'm riding 'round the city with the packs ****ing swervin'

Riding down 75 north just servin'

Gas with the purp, I don't sell no ****ing' m***y ho

I can find the shrooms and it's probably for the high though

Ayy on that hydro, ****ing Mr. Nice Guy

I be smokin' all type of shit they be flyin' in

On Air Tran or whatever ****ing' airline

Then my friend gonna bring that shit right here tonight

Out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

So I'm out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

And when I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

When I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

In the kitchen, grab the fork, water work, I'm whippin' that

Trap house, lotta weight, people say I'm gettin' fat

Lean with the Sprite, purple shit, I be mixin' that

I ain't with the chitter-chat, 10 bands'll get your ass

Stomped with my Timberlands, I shoot him with my FN

Know that I got good aim, might shoot him with my left hand

Find out his beef then I'm pullin' up in a huntin' van

B*****s sayin' I'm the man, walk around with a 100 bands

Out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

So I'm out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

And when I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

When I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

4nem caught the charge, and shawty jumped the fence

They left the dog up in the yard, Monroe out here goin' hard

We out here sellin' more goop than them ****ers out in Bentley Park

Or Langley Park or Barry Farm you work which one you are

money can't pay for bond

And old beef still old beef, ****ers I ain't say they were gone

And old beef turn to new beef, boy I park right there on Newton

Turn my mixtape up to 23 and you turned into a groupie

I pull up in my Chrystler and they chest bump with my Uzi

The police try to get checked well I hit them with the oowee

I turn down on Lil 20th street and hit that left on South Dakota

And pust their ass up in the alley, I think I'm 'bout to lose 'em

Out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

So I'm out here in the streets tryna make some more dough

If I ain't in the streets, then I'm in the studio

And when I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

When I'm in the streets, you know I'm dodgin' 12

Because me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail

Me and my friends don't go to jail
