HIM ALL ALONG – English Lyrics

• By: Gunna

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(Run that back, Turbo)

Scooped me up, got one of my rooms all flooded with gold (Gold)

I done bought two, four, five, six, seven

Eight karats in stones (In stones)

Cash on the California couch

Can't wait to go dress my home (Dress my home)

Smash all you itty-bitty rappers in a minute

I was tryna prolong (Tryna prolong)

On the way to reachin' my goals

Lot of doors open and close (Open and close)

I've been spendin' millions on clothes

I been makin' millions off clothes (Millions off clothes)

Stackin' new money to old

Garments stay vintage and old (Vintage and old)

Cut up my shirt full of holes

GunWunna got a lot of hoes (Got a lot of hoes)

Shoutout my cousin, my cousin, my kin, my blood, my folk (My folk)

Hold my team, now I plant the seed

Give it water to grow (For my team)

Half a million euros in a third-world country

I travel the coast (Travelin', yeah)

Always said that I wanted, young Wunna done done it

I do what they don't (Young Wunna, the man)

They was tryna stunt my growth

I was steady chasin' my goals

Nigga, why you watchin'? I'm grown

Nigga can't take my throne

Goin' through the motions, stay strong

He done been him all along (Him)

Look at all this money we done grown

Lot of different places I done flown

Freaky lil' bitch, she swallow my kids (She swallow my kids)

Pull up on the kid, she left her kid, at home

It's 10 P.M. in Atlanta

Where I'm at, it's four in the morn

sprayin'

And the view is the same round the corner from Jordan (Jordan)

Speed in the coupe, Jeff Gordon

I got the foreign imported (Foreign imported)

Knew that we sold out the Barclay

Now we gon' sell out the Garden (Gon' sell out the Garden)

Trap, I'ma fuck up the market

Young Gunna really a martian (I'm really a martian)

Excusin' me through like a pardon

And I'm protected by carbons

They was tryna stunt my growth

I was steady chasin' my goals

Nigga, why you watchin'? I'm grown

Nigga can't take my throne

Goin' through the motions, stay strong

He done been him all along (Him)

Look at all this money we done grown

Lot of different places I done flown

On the way to finish my goals, lot of doors open and close

Goin' through the motions, stay strong, he done been him all along

On it off the jet, goddamn

I don't get no rest, goddamn

I want my respect, goddamn

I be running up a check, goddamn
