[English]

Ay, I live in a hotseat

Ay, ay, I live in a hotseat, only Tris can stop me

If she catch me off

Ay, nah, for real, soon as I started writin' this

Let me know, Wafi text me for a hunnid pointer, no bap, huh

Ay, I live in a hotseat, only Tris can stop me

If she catch me off Percs, I'ma do you bad

For the king, for the crown, where you shootin' at?

Life's Gucci, 250 in the Louis bag

Army guns, exotic guns, I don't know how to remove the mag

I'm like few trucks away from buyin' shoes and masks

Niggas would if they could, but they can't

That's the key, mafiana, she with me

We look better with no IG, open a 20 and drop a three, can't face no danger if I'm sleep

I got a Patek, remind me of Dove, he was a liar, he'll fuck with me

I ain't trippin', shit bigger than life, bigger than Kylie, bigger than everybody

Ay, and I'm not takin' sorry, you can say it whenever you pray since I'm like God anyway

I be talkin' to the man upstairs 'bout shit down here, this shit ain't right

LV kicks suck, I'm on my rock, ain't blamin' Xans, it just ain't right

You ain't with me, you against me and they better stay right on they side

Teach my lil' niggas how to be humble, but they'll still send you on that ride

Never stop and startin' shit, run it down and have 'em fixed

Top ski, too slatt, what it is? Live in the mix

For the kids, I'm takin' pics, I told 'em, "Drugs'll make you sick"

I barely got friends, I got two grips, I take pink 10s like it's a mint

What it is? Live in the mix, top ski, too slatt

Ay, look, ay, ay, I live in a hotseat, only Tris can stop me

If she catch me off Percs, I'ma do you bad

For the king, for the crown, where you shootin' at?

Life's Gucci, 250 in the Louis bag

Army guns, exotic guns, I don't know how to remove the mag

I'm like, ay, I live in a hotseat

Hotseat, yes, sir, in the backseat, Micro Drac', it's fully blastin'

I think all my opps on track meet, see us, and they run the fastest

That shit you got on ain't fashion, I paid 6K for my jacket

LUCKI just pulled up in a spaceship, pour that lean and go hit Maxville

Spend it, get it back, you don't know that feelin', niggas really children

Drop some racks for me to get my dream car, you bought extra jewelry

Niggas be actin' suspect, undercover, this shit gettin' serious

Brand-new Lambo', we in the fastest one, hell nah, this ain't no Urus

Every day, I wake up and go get it like I ain't the rich one

I'm in yo' city right now for a show, come meet me at the Ritz then

Rubber band it, get it, rubber band it, this shit gettin' consistent

Purple Fanta, but it was just yellow, power of the Tristan

Ay, look, ay, ay, I live in a hotseat, only Tris can stop me

If she catch me off Percs, I'ma do you bad

For the king, for the crown, where you shootin' at?

Life's Gucci, 250 in the Louis bag

Army guns, exotic guns, I don't know how to remove the mag

I'm like, ay, I live in a hotseat

I gotta live in that bitch
