[English]

On and off the jet, god damn (Damn)

I don't get no rest, god damn (Damn)

I want my respect, god damn (Damn)

I been running up a check, yeah, yeah (Up a check)

When we fuck it ease my stress, god damn (Damn)

Way she give that neck? trim (Trim)

Get this movie star on film (Film)

My ring a shining star, uh, uh

Karats in my ear and they clear (Glass)

I been rockin' shades, life's been a blur (Blur)

Fashion everyday, put her in couture ('Ture)

Put in work, make that pussy purr (Purr, purr)

Yeah, I endorse, mashin' the Porsche (Mash)

DC to New York, me and a few joints

'Bout to meet at the Clearport, look for the Rolls Royce

On and off the jet, god damn (Got damn)

I don't get no rest, god damn (Got damn)

I want my respect, god damn (Damn)

I been running up a check, yeah, yeah (Up a check)

When we fuck it ease my stress, god damn (Damn)

Way she give that neck? trim (Trim)

Get this movie star on film (Film)

My ring a shining star, uh

Got damn, a nigga fortunate

Every day locked in, I make M's off my voice

I know how to win, get you in on the source

Head up with my chin up, I ain't got no other choice

Had to cut my jeans, look like new Loewe jorts

Brought out fifty G's just to spend on my lil' shawty

Backyard is a sea, I can retire when I turn forty

You my type of freak, while we fucking, I record it (Come here)

Couldn't believe, I stopped sipping Codeine for my core

You see, extra couple hundred Gs for my aura

Good treesh, yeah, brand new frosted AP on a whore

Ibiza, had to show her VISA at the port

On and off the jet, god damn (Damn)

I don't get no rest, god damn (Damn)

I want my respect, god damn (Damn)

I been running up a check, yeah, yeah (Up a check)

When we fuck it ease my stress, god damn (Damn)

Way she give that neck, trim (Trim)

Get this movie star on film (Film)

My ring a shining star, uh

Damn

Get this movie star on film (Film)

My ring a shining star, uh
