[English]

Yeah If I don't do nothing, I'ma get me some money.

Got love for myself, can't find in a nigga or a woman.

Pull up, hop out, bust, your life worth nothing.

Got a bad bitch asked to spend the night, think she might want something.

Me and my snipers united this shit like Atlanta.

You'll go crazy trying to figure out how I'm coming.

Yeah, pull up, skirt, skirt, shoot, gun it.

If I don't do me nothing, I'ma get me some money.

I'ma get me some money.

I'ma get me some cho, pape, however you want to call it.

She always trying to argue. She just want a dick and a few dollars.

Okay shawty, I still burn partner, you weird.

Ain't God I caught him, clocked him with a Rose bottle.

By now that nigga gotta be gay cause till this day he never came out the closet.

Yeah, what's the deal, I'm all about skrill, you feel me.

Ain't got the same tone since you came home.

You know I know you ain't real.

Don't act like you don't need me.

You and your mom used to aggravate me.

Bitch, I want my cheese the same way I gave it to you, don't Apple Pay me shit.

I like blue hunnids, pink fifties, perky yellow.

And it's molly ain't all that gas, but it's mellow.

He was just fussing on the gram.

Now he safe, I said oh.

When them vultures at your head, better deck your cho.

I don't know about you, but I'm gonna get me some dough.

If you do it, you don't.

Nobody gonna feel your tears.

Got to buy you a mop since all you do is sit around and mope.

Nigga's so broke, he don't even got faith.

Gotta walk around try borrow a hoe.

Instead of talkin bout free they brother whole time they brother locked up.

If I don't do nothing, I'm gonna get me some money.

Got love for myself, can't find in a nigga or a woman.

Pull up, hop out, bust.

It ain't nothing.
