[English]

Wad up, Boat?

Ayy, ayy

Shitty Boyz

Track 2's got me euro steppin' like I'm ball playin'

If it's smoke, we gon' send some shots and leave 'em crossfaded

Snitches get stitches, like shit, that's the law ain't it?

Demolition man, in your bitch crib, wall breakin'

You beggin' for the sauce

I don't wanna hear you talk, Plankton (Shut up)

Right side the dubs, my left pocket all Franklins

Chains tri-color, but the buffies, yeah, they Caucasian

God bless the skin, free my babies fightin' fraud cases

Newest Bape, I got it zipped up, she see the 'rilla in me

2016, I made a killin' off Vanilla gifties

Five years later, self-scan, still it hit for fifty

Hitter finna drop a UAV, really got killers with me

Hi-C, deuce of Wock'

Y-3, newest Crocs

Five fiends by two o-clock

Hypebeast, Gucci socks

Side street, lose the cops

Try me, they shootin' Glocks

Trickin' on a picky bitch, like do you like these shoes or not?

Bro retarded, but will scribble somethin' like he DoodleBob

Used to do the ramen, it's two hundred dollar noodles now

Lil' smart bitch from U of M, she got some stupid top

Unky got some strong dog in, you can't poodle shop

Garlic rib dinner, it's takeout from the crab house

If we don't see you, stake out at your man's house

Finna look like a switchblade, finna stab out

Zip of turtle pie to the face, I might pass out

Line lil' boujee, all my bitches got a bad mouth

Didn't wanna fight in middle school, you wanna scrap now?

Put your hands down and point to, I'm pullin' MAG out

He had dog shit from EDD, but he ran out

Lil Boat, BabyTron

Bad Boys, '89

Exotic pop muddy, got me walkin' round like Frankenstein

Off-White ones up like Jordan back in '85

Prices goin' up for a vid', you gotta pay me five

How I up a Rolls and Benz at the same time?

How the hell is niggas gangsters graduatin' from St. John's? (Damn)

I'ont follow no one on the road, I paint my own lines (Damn, damn)

Twenty gifties tryna swipe a Chevy, gotta make it mine

Twenty-three,

Done made like thirty million, you could check my taxes (Damn)

Only lettin' bitches be the runners, yes, I am a sexist

Diamond teeth all throughout my mouth, cost a starter Lexus

Late night, just put her on G6, now she on a Pegasus (Go)

I'm Martin Luther in a room full of Malcolm X's (Damn)

Really rich, them niggas with they moms, I am not your exes (Damn)

Chalkin' ice, all throughout my cup, it's like a game of Tetris (Damn)

Niggas bitin' everything I do, they say I'm too infectious (Go)

If I lose it, give a fuck, I buy another one

Spent a hundred K a hundred times, bitch, I'm Venita son (Damn, damn)

All these niggas actin' just like me,

Shit, I don't need a son (Damn, damn)

Fifty niggas all surround my car, like I don't need a gun

Spit shit that have 'em too sick, think he need a wipe (Damn)

Pop him in his face mid-day, you could still see the sun

Five-star top tier bitches, doin' store runs

Ran out of bullets, don't reload, just go buy more guns

Might go up my lil' sister with a 41

Niggas said I'm gettin' rich, they broke and forty-one (Go)

Your bitch love to suck dick, leave it on her tongue

Hate to be the one tell you the truth, dawg,

I know it's dumb (Damn) Couldn't have been my bitch

Play with my name, they in a hoodie like they from Highbridge (Yeah)

New Maybach eco-friendly, yes, it's hybrid

Glock 19 come off the hip just like a sidekick (Go)

Bro kitchen only got chickens like Raising Cane's

These niggas grew up with riches, never felt pain (Yes)

Superman pills got me lookin' round for Lois Lane

Us

Bitch

Know it's us
