[English]

I got a sack of blue faces but my AR black

I got two bitches in my whip and they got hold my strap

I put the knife to the coca leaf and turn that crack

I put the nine to your coconut and pull that back

I see that motherfucker shinin' snatch your whole damn throat

I got a strike in every pocket of my old ass coat

I use to fly around your city nigga no ID

I get a half and I'mma flip it gotta go OT

I think somebody getting bodied on the weekday, get out the way

I'm in my new clothes, now drop it for me for a bankroll

I'm lookin' like a motherfuckin' dope dealer nigga

Where the hoes where the blow I'm just a dope dealer nigga

Paper in the paper bag I'm a dope dealer nigga

Bitch to beat his ass I'm a dope dealer nigga

Fuck your homies and the police I'mma dope dealer nigga

Couple diamonds in my rollie I'm a dope dealer nigga

Got the plug on the dodie I'm a dope dealer nigga

Better buck, your auntie know me I'm a dope dealer nigga

...

Cali niggas is managin' we havin, Greedy

We got F 57s and we savages, beasty

My little niggas be ampin', they some P's, hustlers

Some of them sell candy some sell trees, customers

But personally I'm a rapper, and I'm spectacular, remarkable

Got a way with my words my lingo and vernacular, marketable

I beat a bitch down I promise you I ain't playin' (beat his ass)

Stomp his ass out throw him in the garbage can, the trash

The harder the trap you might find me snapping' bones

The sink on the soil eatin' dominos

Where the gumbo pots boil the taskforce radar homes, Vamonos

Heavy surveillance, hella copters and drones

I think somebody getting bodied on the weekday

Get out the way

I'm in my new clothes, now drop it for me for a bankroll

I'm lookin' like a motherfuckin' dope dealer nigga

Where the hoes where the blow I'm just a dope dealer nigga

Paper in the paper bag I'm a dope dealer nigga

Bitch to beat his ass I'm a dope dealer nigga

Fuck your homies and the police I'mma dope dealer nigga

Couple diamonds in my rollie I'm a dope dealer nigga

Got the plug on the dodie I'm a dope dealer nigga

Better buck, your auntie know me I'm a dope dealer nigga

I got them egg whites and them oxtails for the low

Got them hot wheels gotta push start and it go

Got them 16's of the Act right and its sealt'

We on the frontline when its crunch time to get chilled

You us lil' niggas love gold chains and them whips

Make me rearrange your whole thang for my hip

I get this motherfucker jumpin' bitch you know why I came

They told me Thou Shalt not kill when I jumped in the flame

I'm cocoo for the cocoa leaves and I turned it to dope

The money never grew on trees but I'm watching it grow

We talking' cold watching' hoes tellin' em that I keep

I get to swinging' on this chopper nigga, R.I.P

You heard what I mean,its your boy yeah its Smacc mane

Its better livin' with mines man you heard what I mean

We got break your bitch man we got send her back to you broke man

White stones, panties gone, boom

Bank roll, hella hoes, boom

Big dope, blow your nose, boom
