[English]

Whip it like a Nascar, I can see the time pass

Feel like I'm in high school, fuckin' me in gym class

Shawty, I remember that

I know you remember that

You was fuckin' with me way before I even wrote raps

Now I'm seein' cash flow

I could be a asshole, yeah, I know

But it's all good 'cause I let her spend my money though

Playboy bunny though, shawty look like a pornstar

I know she love me 'cause she fuck me in her sports car

I pull up on her, tell her that we finna gonna go far

Drop top, smokin' thrax, lookin' at the stars

Gettin' high, takin' bars 'til we on Mars

I could make the ground move like I'm Avatar

Now I'm faded on my own in my bedroom

Now I'm lookin' at my phone should I text you?

I just wanna sex you, I just wanna bless you

Baby, I'm a priest in the underworld, guess who

Lil Bo Peep with a brand new flow too

Lookin' at my teeth like you never seen a gold tooth

Never in the streets 'cause I never leave my home

If you wanna live a dream I ain't comin' bitch I told you
