[English]

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

I'm sinking to unknown levels

The devil with no brake pedal

Stop all this murder mo-murder

Drugs got me cocking the burner

Run up in your house, duct tape on your mouth

Evil shit, hitting licks never a drought

$uicide Grey 59, future is now

Lucifer in the flesh, you'd hear the sound

($ui-$ui-cide, $uicide)

Popping these pills and I'm popping these shells

Oxy and Herron crushed up in a bill

Feel like I'm watched by the eyes in the hill

$carecrow the menace but $carecrow don't panic

I called on JGRXXN and they ready to kill

Lil Uzi cocked and he ready to drill

Smokin' out, locin' out in a DeVille

Roaches swarm around me as I rise and levitate

I be the snake of genesis leading the exodus to an unknown place

And claim its safe, uh!

Gathering sheep to the slaughter

I show 'em the blade

Let them pray to the father and

Sneak up behind them and open their veins

The devil in wolf's clothing

Yung plague attends them demon masquerades

But I ain't mask my face

I pass the blade and ask to trade their soul for cash and fame

I scratch these names off of my list

I trash the place and dip back to

My pit of ash and bones and hibernate

My sack of souls ain't gon' escape

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch

Watch me hypnotize you niggas 'cause JGRXXN got that phonk

I'm riding in a steamer with some bodies in the trunk

Jug mane, jug mane, you not the jug mane

False flagging niggas come and catch a blast man

These Schema-icide niggas always burning up the trunk

We runnin' down yo lane, I don't pull up I always dunk

I never gave a fuck about these niggas wanna play

And if you with the shit, please believe we on the way

Hustle the maniac

Quick attack, you can't relax, you can't relax

So on your back, you even know I'd bust your ass

Be like fuck the cash but need the cash

Hustle passion for the love of bands

I kill a man, I rob a man, I be feelin' bad

But damn if I tell you that

You be lurkin' in my business fast

Like "The fuck boy, how you doin' that?"

Before you know it I be at your neck

Like the dead, he vanish to a mist (Hustle!)

He see the noose that come up out the group

In the trunk we let bodies sit

Suicide the way we slittin' wrists

Roll the blunt then put it to my lips

Torch a car just for the love of chips

It's Hustle!

G-G-G59 talking to the devil plot another 'nother crime

Elevate above the clouds, looking for the sun

When I fell from the heavens was losin' my mind

Rip off my wings and I take off my halo

I'm looking for god but didn't find shit

So I slept with the devil, I sold my soul quick

I was fucking and then-then I made it my bitch

Murder suicidal, grippin' the rifle, hand on the Bible

Believe in false idols you living in dreams,

But I'm stuck in reality thinking of schemes

Loss in the darkness where I become heartless

I creep through the night and I keep my blade sharp

And I'm stuck in my wave

'Cause I don't give a fuck 'cause I'm

Throwing my elbows, I'm gettin' too buck

Niggas ain't barrin' that shit my nigga

Slap a punk bitch, slap a punk bitch
