[English]

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real (Ayy)

Is you riding with me? Tell me what it's gon' be

I don't carе if we flying down the highway on E

Long as we both riding, wе got everything we need

Don't let people come between, we gon' always get the green

That's my ride or die, bitch, we gon' get the paper

Screaming, "**** a hater!", saying, "See you later!"

I just made a couple bands on my avenue

It's me and all my troops, bustin' plays, making moves

What you wanna do? Nigga, we with all the drama

I just wanna get the bands and give 'em to my momma

Never reading comments, they just tryna get me caught up

I'm just being honest, I'm never on no fraud shit (Ayy, yeah)

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real (Ayy, ayy)

And I let the top down for everyone to see

I hope you see the world different, when you look at me

I give my brothers hope, we ain't have no OG

Just a dollar and a dream, to go and get the cream

Different kinda lifestyle, I do it for my fam

I'ma be the man, nigga, I don't give a damn

What you know about hard times? I made it out the jam

Plenty times I thought I was down, wasn't apart of the plan

Shorty left my brother, his feet stuck in the sand (Yeah)

He tellin her that he love her, but she think that he playin' (Yeah)

Time after time, it repeats itself again (Yeah)

Time after time, over, over again (Yeah, yeah)

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed (Yeah)

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed (Yeah)

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real (Woah, woah)

I've been looking for your love, I don't know how to feel (How to feel)

I can't trust nobody, they might get me killed (Get me killed)

And my bro just caught a case, pray he get appealed (Get appealed)

It's funny how the things go when you keep it real

Woah, woah
