[English]
AyySaid fuck the Drac' and bought the G-Lock
He run up, bet he get popped
Yeah, I rap, but fuck this hip-hop
I'm active, boy, don't get dropped
Niggas hoes, they walk with flip-flops
Hate rats with cheese, they get chopped
From the slope straight to the tip-top
It's on me, bitch, don't get popped (Mula)
Spent like fifty all in one swap
Ran off, the plug got too hot (Yeah, yeah)
We had hoes and bowls in two spots (Yeah, yeah)
Pulled off Corvette, the roof chopped (Uh-huh)
Diamonds shining, smoking moonrock (Yeah)
Thug life, I feel like 2Pac (Uh-huh)
In LA, we ride with two Glocks
Start rapping, feds got too hot
Uh, bitch, bitch, bitch, make a nigga rich, rich, rich
I like the pussy deep dish and when it go squish, squish, squish
Carter 6, 6, 6, demon time, tick, tick, tick
Barrel to your temple like a pimple, nigga, it go Z-Z-Z
Promethazine, I don't even smoke gasoline
Fuck you, no vaseline
I like my hoes tangerine
It turns so dope, I have fiends
I got that coke, no caffeine
I empty the whole magazine
Everybody woke, I sell dreams
Got it out the mud, the can clean
I can't trust the love, I ain't green
I just cut 'em off like gangrene
It's the art of war, I'm painting
I'm a superstar, she fainting
No matter who you are, you ain't me
Walk it like a target on my feet
Take a nigga heart just for the beat
Said fuck the Drac' and bought the G-Lock
He run up and he get popped
Yeah, I rap, but fuck this hip-hop
I'm active, boy, don't get dropped
Niggas hoes, they walk with flip-flops
Hate rats with cheese, they get chopped
From the slope straight to the tip-top
It's on me, bitch, don't get popped
Spent like fifty all in one swap
Ran off, the plug got too hot
We had hoes and bowls in two spots
Pulled off Corvette, the roof chopped
Diamonds shining, smoking moonrock
Thug life, I feel like 2Pac
In LA, we ride with two Glocks
Start rapping, feds got too hot
Godzilla, nigga, chinchilla, nigga
Laughin' to the bank like Ben Franklin, Ben Stiller, nigga
In a villa, nigga, gettin' head like a pillow, nigga
Bitches all over me and X like Twitter, nigga
Heavy hitter, nigga, send a nigga, devil and a nigga
Weed smoke got me chokin' like Reggie Miller, nigga
She gon' ride a nigga like an eighteen wheeler, nigga
She vanilla, nigga, on tequila, she Brazillian, nigga
I ain't never scared (Never scared)
Keep a chopper on me like a helipad
These niggas Teddy Grahams, niggas teddy bears (Teddy bears)
Kill 'em with my bare hands like Freddy, man, tell 'em, man
Said fuck the Drac' and bought the G-Lock
He run up and he get popped
Yeah, I rap, but fuck this hip-hop
I'm active, boy, don't get dropped
Niggas hoes, they walk with flip-flops
Hate rats with cheese, they get chopped
From the slope straight to the tip-top
It's on me, bitch, don't get popped
Spent like fifty all in one swap
Ran off, the plug got too hot
We had hoes and bowls in two spots
Pulled off Corvette, the roof chopped
Diamonds shining, smoking moonrock
Thug life, I feel like 2Pac
In LA, I ride with two Glocks
Start rapping, feds got too hot (Yeah, Mula)
Hallelujah, clip so long like Tchoupitoulas
Bad lil' bitch give amazing brain
My mother raised an honor student
Tell a bitch step like Major Payne
Lowdown a nigga like Keenen Wayan
Slam on a nigga like Shaq in paint
I'ma shoot this bitch, I ain't have to think
I'm like Nino in Tha Carter, nigga
Too many pounds, what's the order, nigga?
Grew my wicks out like a Florida nigga
When the Drac' call, hope God with ya
On a state call with my dog, nigga
Got a light sentence, not a life sentence
Bro just came home, picked the pen up, then he taught me how to make a knife with it
Only seein' green with this night vision
Got a black truck full of white bitches and they like bitches, that excite niggas
If they act up, we goodnight niggas
On sight niggas, well, alright, get it
Got some young boys, they don't do shit, but just shoot shit like Spike did it
You fuckin' 'round with the right nigga, Jones
Said fuck the Drac' and bought the G-Lock
He run up and he get popped
Yeah, I rap, but fuck this hip-hop
I'm active, boy, don't get dropped
Niggas hoes, they walk with flip-flops
Hate rats with cheese, they get chopped
From the slope straight to the tip-top
It's on me, bitch, don't get popped
Spent like fifty all in one swap
Ran off, the plug got too hot
We had hoes and bowls in two spots
Pulled off Corvette, the roof chopped
Diamonds shining, smoking moonrock
Thug life, I feel like 2Pac
In LA, I ride with two Glocks
Start rapping, feds got too hot

Key Grammar Structures
-
Said fuck the Drac' and bought the G-Lock
➔ Simple Past Tense
➔ Uses the simple past tense "said" and "bought" to describe actions that were completed in the past. This is a common and straightforward tense usage. "Said" is the past tense of "say", and "bought" is the past tense of "buy".
-
He run up, bet he get popped
➔ Conditional Sentence (Zero Conditional with informal grammar)
➔ This line can be interpreted as a zero conditional with informal grammar. The intended meaning is: "If he runs up, I bet he will get shot". The usage of "run up" in the present tense and "get popped" implies a general truth/likely outcome. The use of 'bet' also adds an element of certainty. Note: 'run up' should technically be 'runs up'.
-
Yeah, I rap, but fuck this hip-hop
➔ Conjunction 'but' to express contrast
➔ The word "but" is used to contrast the action of rapping with a dislike or rejection of hip-hop as a whole. It indicates a shift in thought or feeling.
-
Niggas hoes, they walk with flip-flops
➔ Subject-Verb Agreement (informal)
➔ While grammatically incorrect in standard English (it would be "Niggas are hoes, they walk..."), this line demonstrates a colloquial and informal speech pattern where subject-verb agreement is sometimes disregarded for stylistic effect. "Niggas" implies a plural subject, and "walk" agrees with a plural subject, although the preceding phrase lacks a verb.
-
From the slope straight to the tip-top
➔ Use of Prepositions (From...to)
➔ The prepositional phrase "From the slope to the tip-top" indicates a progression or movement from one point to another. The prepositions "from" and "to" are essential for showing the direction of this movement.
-
Start rapping, feds got too hot
➔ Simple Past Tense and Implied Causation
➔ The line uses the simple past tense ("got") to describe a past action. It also implies a causal relationship: because the artist started rapping, the feds became interested (got too hot).
-
I ain't never scared
➔ Double Negative (Non-standard English)
➔ In standard English, a double negative is considered incorrect. However, in some dialects and informal speech, it is used for emphasis. The intended meaning here is "I am not scared" or "I'm never scared," but the double negative "ain't never" reinforces the negation.
