[English]

A T L Jago, A T L Jago

Yeah

Woke up in that morning, yeah

Please don't call my phone again, yeah

Walk in, talk in, cash in, lavish

Wrist, ain't on froze, but I got a habit

Battles, not on tragic, yeah

Watch me on the stages, yeah

They watching, going crazy, yeah

Enough to make them pick the pieces up

They like them vintage cages, yeah

A lot can happen in a couple minutes

Lots of reasons, like things in action

Lots of people watching, things to rival

Watch the moment, watch me going

Locked and loaded, say some sh*t that'll make them think it

Stop provoking, only doing things that are making history

Trying to make moves that are making me miss me

Stay as busy as I want to

Taking trips to escape a bit

Making shifts to a different gear

Taking things to a different tier

Poppin' with it, on a roof like a proper villain

All it's given, got me in a mood

Driven by ambition

I've been living, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty cities

Busy, busy, oh, really get it

Busy with it, get it up, yeah

Woke up feeling like, like, like, like

I think I just might, might, might, might

Woke up feeling like, like, like, like

I think I just might, might, might, might

Never seen a girl like this

Stone cold plus ice on wrist

As good as it gets, this ain't crazy, got it on my bed

I'm a chaser, I'll be exotic

Got that money, I've been a hit-dropper

Just walked in and made jaws drop

See me wearing it and watch it pop

Getting in trouble, my bands are tumbling

High currency, I'm humbling

Oh, you thought I went hard? I'm upping it

I don't do generics, let it be pearls

Looking real healthy, all of my carrots

Give them a look, now I got them all scared

Get me the crown, so let us all wear it

Woke up in that morning, yeah

Please don't call my phone again, yeah

Walk in, talk in, cash in, lavish

Wrist, ain't on froze, but I got a habit

Battles, not on tragic, yeah

Woke up feeling like, like, like, like

I think I just might, might, might, might

Woke up feeling like, like, like, like

I think I just might, might, might, might
