Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh

I ain't going back to the basics.

Fuck being patient.

Oh

Put Cartier on both of my braces.

Put purple in the drank like the Ravens.

Yeah, the molly got me feeling so amazing.

Jaw locked, heart racing.

Oh

Keep testing my patience.

I'ma put a nigga in the pavement.

Trap house roll a little harder than yours.

My 'P' got a little more water than yours.

I was beating the pack, traffic the pre-subs out.

Now making the pots we were just dreaming about it.

Wasn't taking the pack and we was just jacking and robbing.

Ran up my dollars, copped some immaculate diamonds.

Got what it takes, I'm pulling panties aside.

She like when I beat it, Bodega be with the violence.

Pills talking, that's a personal foul.

Niggas wondering how I'm still having work in a drought.

I turned the barbershop to the 80s, I ain't hurting nobody.

I got addicted to the swipe, stopped working my job.

Twin turbos in the whip, say it'll bark when I drive.

All muscle aside, yeah, yeah.

I'm in the field, ain't no ducking and dodging, yeah, yeah.

And all my smoke come with the sirens, yeah, yeah.

Fuck around, get your whole little property ransacked.

Turn your whole little section to Baghdad.

Turbo dropping off a load, I told him to bag it in.

Trap house got 32 flavors like Baskin-Robbins.

On point of time, ski mask was part of my fashion.

Ain't no communication with badges.

The dirty money was taking a bath.

I had the bitch disobeying her parents.

Double G stepping, I'm flashing for show.

Rocking and pressing the 'D' and follow the rich.

She got a good head on her shoulders, the fashion be long.

Drinking the medicine, so clutch and don't know what he on.

Word around the city, I was the biggest narcotic vendor.

And the crazy thing about it, that was something on the side.

Ain't let the smoke out, I'ma go to war with 'em.

Switch a bag on his ass, then I let the door hit 'em.

Oh

I ain't going back to the basics.

Fuck being patient.

Oh

Put Cartier on both of my braces.

Put purple in the drank like the Ravens.

Yeah, the molly got me feeling so amazing.

Jaw locked, heart racing.

Oh

Keep testing my patience.

I'ma put a nigga in the pavement.

Trap house roll a little harder than yours.

My 'P' got a little more water than yours.

I was beating the pack, traffic the pre-subs out.

Now making the pots we were just dreaming about it.

Wasn't taking the pack and we was just jacking and robbing.

Ran up my dollars, copped some immaculate diamonds.

Got what it takes, I'm pulling panties aside.

She like when I beat it, Bodega be with the violence.
