Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Yo soulja

Jane release the beat soon

I hold it down for my team

I came in for trapping not serving no jumping here's my wrist cream

Hitting leaks of my bitches that laying

Twenty pounds I'm like kilogram

Maserati like a tanturing

They wanted these fuck nigga on my right baby

If you trigger an army you make a tragedy

Had I order down for the team

Had it order down for the team

I came in for trapping not copying no thing

It's all one treat me like a king

Okay!
