Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Alright, Brando

Breaker yo' kill me need a IV

But I ain't in mittens with the fuck niggas, hol' on

Oh, I forgive them, watch over they children

Let you know this beef with me, my brother tried to kill them

Surviving a game, we all deal cocaine

Officer a gang, we don't give no name, hol' on

Oh, I forgive them, watch over they children

On a soldier mind, where I had a boss of mine

Ayy, I always

Time to kill but this a quick play, so we loadin' up

You do her so low and lose yo' head and get yo' toes tore up

And all my niggas boys, they fight it 'til we rose up

Like I'm Undertaker from the flat bed, how I done rose up

On my grandmama, my mama, I always be her boy

When I did time, I was in Macon workin' on my bars

I was in the streets fallin' away, I die here one day

Talkin' 'bout a made man, I already made it, I put it on her name

I ain't been cryin' all on my head, bitch, I'd rather have been saved

But I have protection 'round yo' head, I'll hop out, shoot this K

Long live my bubba, get it straight

Opposition know that every kiss begin with K

I don't wanna sleep tonight

I don't wanna wonder why

Cause I don't want no more

I'm just goin' with the flow

She think that I fall back

She ain't reach me and expect me to call back

I was down bad, she bought me a promo

She'll feed me, you know that I remember all that

How many times you drove and let me slide past five tool?

How many times on times you drove to bring me in my first child food?

I remember I posted up on my own with dope inside my shoe

I remember when times I walked in and told 'em 'bout shit we gon' do

Three Tay support, I ain't never told you, but I always be with shooters

I'm outside my office for niggas who talk shit, ain't got nothin' to prove

Nigga play with all ships poppin', that's with me and ain't got nothin' to lose

Run around on gravediggas, I post with slang, you can catch you across the news

You can catch when I cleanse his brain when I bang, you be out the buildin', move

Already know that lil' boy, that bangin' yo' gang, a stain, he broke the rules

Tell they old lady I got murder bread, grams and all I do is lose

On a mission with my wig on in the car, me and Meech ridin' 'round with blues

Breaker yo' kill me need a IV

But I ain't in mittens with the fuck niggas, hol' on

Oh, I forgive them, watch over they children

Let you know this beef with me, my brother tried to kill them

Surviving a game, we all deal cocaine

Officer a gang, we don't give no name, hol' on

Oh, I forgive them, watch over they children

On a soldier mind, where I had a boss of mine

Ayy, I always

I was caught up in flows and it was out there, takin' losses but now I'm ballin'

This expedition now intuition, but she done watched me get a bow finna come up on it

Hold on 'til said top, you lost me

Always thinkin' conversations 'bout my rumor while we just lookin' over coffin

Can you come over and stay tonight with me, I ain't seen you very often

I done upgraded, I don't need you to have my dividends in yo' blouses

Me on East Park, livin' low, less cocaine in my trousers

He was playin' around with the be, I fucked around and had him mopped

Breaker yo' kill me need a IV

But I ain't in mittens with the fuck niggas, hol' on

Oh, I forgive them, watch over they children

And she know I don't listen, she gon' feel it on our side

She know I don't listen ain't good by

Midnight I got
