[English]

I do it

I do it

I do it (I like that)

Boy

Boy (Fuck your time nigga)

I do it

I waited my whole life to be the man of the hour

Really can't lie, I was the man when I started

I will be the man when I die

Man these hoes, take your money

And I take their virginity

I'm high, I split an O in half, now it's a parenthesis

Crazier than crazy, ape shit, retardedly stupid

I put that weed in an uhh and pass it

Yep that's ally oopin, okay

Oh, that's your girl

Well I don't give a master two shits

Okay I'm westside, westside till I'm riding underneath them tulips

You bordo like Enrique, I'm toupee, I'm three-pee

I'm looking like I'mma sweep stakes

But I treat ya girl like a cheap skate

Cause I need a crib, a big estate

I need a boat and that need a lake

I need some salmon, that need a plate

That need a chef so I feed my safe

My crew is who I'd be widdy-be-wid-it

Rose I sippity-sip-it

I'm Quagmire I fuck hoes

My cashflow I giggity-giggity it

Boy, I'm cock-a-mania

The most zaniest, insaniant

Pulling up in Merced-iance

Rolling up like I'm Damian

I love girls that Arabian, Albanian, caucasian

I ride around gettin cranium cause my dick is hard as titanium

Oh boy you had your chance, and blew it (you blew it)

Stand aside and watch a real nigga do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

I feel like (I do it)the World mine (I do it)

Just bow down (I do it), the world mine (I do it)

I'mma let you live (I do it), the World mine (I do it)

This world mine (I do it)

The one and only in this muthafucker

Niggas staring like we the only ones in this muthafucker

How could you not know we in this muthafucker

I got my haters looking lonely in this muthafucker

Woah, I'm sipping on whatever I get handed

Throwing house parties so crazy that my crib look like a campus

Play your cards right and I could blow you up

Nah, I ain't Gambit shit, I'm wasted, wasted

This looks like a job for Captain Planet

Nah, nah, good lordy, wowdy, I just took more shot than Kobe

The realest niggas is reppin

The baddest bitches promoting

She put that thong on my groin groin

And then it go boing!

Got my fronter on her bumper does it look like she towing

I hustle hard like I'm finna lose the crib

And party hard like I'm finna do it big

All I ever do is big

So all she wanna do is big

Girl, what your name is, I really can't remember

And tone breaking tree down, somebody yell out timber

I'm up up in them Kush clouds, lighting up like I'm Zeus

Bitch stand back watch how a real nigga do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

I do it

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

Boy

I feel like (I do it)the World mine (I do it)

Just bow down (I do it), the world mine (I do it)

I'mma let you live (I do it), the World mine (I do it)

This world mine (I do it)

...

Boy
