[English]

(Ayy JB you sauced up)

Huh huh

Look go

I say God who am i

Prayin' to the sky

I'm anxious and I'm desperate

I be wishin' that i cry

Tired of situations

I be wishin' that i die

(Top why you keep complaining)

You'll forever be my child

Livin' wild father

This is not how i was raised up

Opps wanna frame us

DA wanna hang us

I'm sorry for my thoughts and actions

That ain't to your likin'

Man I'm scared this ain't no facades

I don't like me

I don't know who i could run to

I don't know where i could run and hide

Your intemtions'll get you dead

I feel alive

Gangsters approachin'

Look what this come to

They tellin' me I'm that guy

While off inside I'm still

Holdin' all the feelings of a child

Thuggin' at it's finest

Murder at a all time high

Hustlin' at its finest all my life

I've been tryna get it right

I don't need you up and leavin' me

I need you here

Oh I

Pray on my knees at night

So the angels see i am

Not who they said i am

Runnin' from my birthplace

Lord it been a earthquake

Trust in my fire

Oh i been needin' some peace

Can you say when it's on the way

Oh bae you love me

Can you fuck me like you do?

Huh? My job got us fussin'

I've been hustlin' all for you

I done got up in some trouble

But can't tell you

What I do what I done or what I did

I don't give a fuck I speak the truth

I'll take my stick blow out the roof

I made a T-top out the coupe

From KD car to a Bentley

I don't trip they laughin' at my pain

I worry God as I'm sinnin'

Scary-bitch look at my chain

They swear to God that I'm winnin'

But I've been losin' and paranoid

Might be my boy tryna get me

Stuck in prison fuck this system

Snortin' ice inside my nose

'till I noticed that I'm trippin'

I'm the one who got control

Bitch, I made me eight million

Whole time that I was down

I don't give a fuck about no money

Might still catch me with a frown

Might still catch me with my white Glock

I'm in Ogden

On a white block with the Treces

Even though I fuck with Southside

Grandma passed away

Saw her on FaceTime that night

That mornin' she died

Tell me when it's comin'

I've been waitin' five

I know you hear me

Thuggin' at it's finest

Murder at a all time high

Hustlin' at its finest all my life

I've been tryna get it right

I don't need you up and leavin' me

I need you here

Oh I

Pray on my knees at night

So the angels see i am

Not who they said i am

Runnin' from my birthplace

Lord it been a earthquake

Trust in my fire

Oh i been needin' some peace

Can you say when it's on the way

Oh bae you love me

Can you fuck me like you do

Huh My job got us fussin'

I've been hustlin' all for you

I done got up in some trouble

But can't tell you

What I do what I done or what I did

I don't give a fuck I speak the truth

I'll take my stick blow out the roof

I made a T-top out the coupe

From KD car to a Bentley
