[English]

What Juicy say? He be like, "Shut the fuck up"

Yeah-eh-eh (Ra-pa-pa-pa)

Oh, yeah

Call up all the troops, they gon' slide for me

(They gon' slide for me)

All I want is truth, don't lie to me

(Don't lie to me)

Remember back then no one ride for me

(No one ride)

I was in a jam, but I made it out

In my zone, that's my home

I've been gone for too long

Hustlin' and grindin'

All that stress in my head

Been hustlin' and grindin'

I'll be good, I'll be good

Nigga, follow me, I'm gon' lead you to the money

If you name it, I done done it, you already know who run it

I don't kick it with no sucker niggas, nah, we ain't puntin'

Bitch, I ball, I treat every day like Superbowl Sunday

Keep a bad bitch with me with Giuseppes on her feet

Spend some racks on her rack, couple hundred for a weave

You know shawty aim to please, she gon' take care of my knee

She look up to Meg' Thee Stallion, I'm gon' make her work them knees

The game ain't for free, go send that deposit

I'll make them blue mail walk it [?] and tote that Houston rocket

Homie, please don't get it twisted, they don't mean I'm finna play

Twenty years, I'm still killin' shit, go get the yellow tape

(Yellow tape)

Call up all the troops, they gon' slide for me

(They gon' slide for me)

All I want is truth, don't lie to me

(Don't lie to me)

Remember back then no one ride for me

(No one ride)

I was in a jam, but I made it out

In my zone, that's my home

I've been gone for too long

Hustlin' and grindin'

All that stress in my head

Been hustlin' and grindin'

I'll be good, I'll be good

Voy a seguir hustleando por mis sueños

(Sueños)

Cielo o infierno, no hay punto medio

(Medio)

Fumo para matar los nervios

(Los nervios)

Hago música como remedio

(Remedio)

Peleo conmigo mismo para matar el ego

Su peor enemigo siempre fue su miedo

Marco la jugada, salgo ileso del juego

Para mí no existe el "no, no puedo"

Yo sigo ganando, le doy vuelta el tablero

(Al tablero)

Sigo multiplicando, tengo más de siete cero'

(Siete cero')

Yo pongo los billete' y ustede' ponen pero'

(Ponen pero'), ja

Y se hacen seguir llamando "raperos"

A ello' le' molesta que yo diga lo que quiero

Viva como quiero (Ey), haga lo que quiero

Ustede' no estaban cuando no había dinero

(Cash, cash)

Y las promesa' que teníamo' se prendían fuego

Shout-out pa' Modo Diablo, shout-out pa' lo' Bardero$

Shout-out pa' to'a la gente que sabe que la quiero

Siempre facturando de enero a enero

Dándole la vuelta al mundo entero

Call me when they gone, vendrán por mí

(Vendrán por mí)

Solo quiero la verdad, no me mientas

(No me mientas)

Recuerdo aquellos días que solo estaba por mí

(No se me olvida)

Estaba atrapado, pero me salí

En mi zona, that's my home

Ausente for too long

Hustlin' and grindin'

All that stress en mi mente

Been hustlin' and grindin'

Voy a estar bien, I'll be good
