[English]

Yeah

It's been a while since I been out, think I'm 'bout to whip that Mercedes

And my wrist keep drippin', grain grippin', I'm doin' 180

Now I used to be pimpin', be pimpin', but how can I say this?

Girl, I'm tryna fuck with you

Girl, don't take no pictures, don't take no pictures

Girl, sorry if I'm slurrin' my words, I've been drinkin'

Mixin' that liquor

You say you don't really give a fuck

I really hope that you know what's up

I ain't playin', oh, no

I just hope you pick up when it's two or three

But I would go deep in that ocean like Flipper

Oh yeah, oh yeah

When my mind's fucked up, I just don't care at all

I just hope you pick up when it's two or three

You won't even listen 'cause you used to all the niggas

I promise I'm different, different
