[English]

Uh-uh, heavy metal on the waist

Hot weapon, shoot it out, change your life, fall in one second

Take your bitch, she decide in two seconds

I keep it fresh, she admire my effervescence

But I can't trust that bitch, nigga, I learned my lesson

Enemies clickin' up, niggas feel threatened

These niggas pressed for pussy, I am not stressin'

My theme song, all about the Benjamins, pepper

Shake that ass, move your cheek to the beat, baby

D.A., sprinkle dope on the beat, yeah, yeah

I'm a junkie, I'm a fiend on the bean, yeah, yeah

K-I-N-G, murder everything

Cheatin' on her when I had to come and fuck Spring

Summer's mine, automatic

Two twin bitches, they appear like magic

Peter Piper, pick your bitch and put it on my pepper

Rolls Royce, all white, but the black better

Nigga salty like Martin

Hot nigga, lukewarm, still scorchin'

Blowin' on my trombone like trumpet

Is that your nigga? He a fake nigga, he a puppet

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still T-Ross on the block, ayy

My nigga a thunderstorm

Lighter than every stone

My bitches a Barbie doll

Chopper like Mardi Gras

Ride me la-dickda-dickda, show me your naughty girl

Walk into the bathroom, she need a bodyguard

I'm too turnt, my style on the merch

Pop a pill, gettin' woozy, watch a madman

Max Martin, Mad Max, nigga, Max Payne

Ten chains on, now I got back pain

Give me neck, blow brain like cocaine

Got hoes in the line like Soul Train

Need a personal assistant at the bank, man

R.I.P. Pops, nigga, bang, bang

I'm a brother from another on another planet

I can still fuck your bitch on another planet

Ain't toxic and damagin' you

I need commission, all these hoes I didn't manage

Who's that creepin' in my window?

Mask on, brim low, click, clack

Fo-fo, oh no, niggas talkin', they gon' need dental

Opposite of gentle

Pussy, money, weed on my mental

Peter Piper, pick your bitch and put it on my pepper

Rolls Royce, all white, but the black better

Nigga salty like Martin

Hot nigga, lukewarm, still scorchin'

Blowin' on my trombone like trumpet

Is that your nigga? He a fake nigga, he a puppet

Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got

I'm still T-Ross on the block, ayy

My nigga a thunderstorm

Lighter than every stone

My bitches a Barbie doll

Chopper like Mardi Gras

Don't be fooled, motherfucker

Don't be fooled, motherfucker

Yeah, on the blocks, on the blocks

Yeah, don't be fooled, motherfucker

Yeah, shorties on the clock, I get that a lot

Yeah, don't be fooled, motherfucker

At the end of the day

They don't say in the face

Yeah, don't be fooled

I make the rules
