Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Hey, I guess you thought I was tempted, nigga

I guess you ain't think I was player

Hey, I guess you thought I was sad about a ho

On the cool, lil' nigga, I don't care

Hey, I guess you ain't think that a nigga really hustle, bitch

I could sell salt to a snail

Hey, I guess you thought that my diamonds fugazi, nigga

Got more water than a whale

Hey, I guess you thought it was pressure 'bout a ho

We ain't beefing no bitches, you tripping

Hey, I guess they heard that a nigga fell off, nigga

You was just a brief intermission

Hey, I guess they think that a nigga talking slurred, bitch

I just got syrup in my system

Hey, I guess they thinking I'm tripping

Nah, these niggas really bitches

Hey, all these niggas tryna check what I'm doing

Tryna see who I'm screwing, just watch

I speak player shit influent, nigga watch how I'm moving

Pocket watching, why you all in my pockets?

Ayy, got your main bitch chewing, all day

She chewing, telling your bitch, "Lil' bitch, gossip"

Beat the pussy up good, that ass, she threw it

With your bitch down in my castle

Nigga stepping in Louis, this scarf here Louis

That nigga be hurt, they ain't gas him

Hey, whack somethin', I ain't gotta ask 'em

Hey, your ho gon' be fucking 'round and trap 'em

Hey, hollow tips spray, hit a pussy nigga body

Make a nigga start shaking like a dancer

Buckshot kill him faster than cancer

Hey, freaky bitch say she a Cancer

Ayy, if that nigga do anything unplanned

Swear to God, that nigga get cancelled

Hey, if a nigga switch up like a channel

Hey, monkey, get hit with bananas

Hey, if it get buck, then ram 'em

Hey, lift his ass up with the hammer

Hey, hit his ass up on camera

Hey, kick in his door, they Rambo

Hey, I guess you thought I was tempted, nigga

I guess you ain't think I was player

Hey, I guess you thought I was sad about a ho

On the cool, lil' nigga, I don't care

Hey, I guess you ain't think that a nigga really hustle, bitch

I could sell salt to a snail

Hey, I guess you thought that my diamonds fugazi, nigga

Got more water than a whale

Hey, I guess you thought it was pressure 'bout a ho

We ain't beefing no bitches, you tripping

Hey, I guess they heard that a nigga fell off, nigga

You was just a brief intermission

Hey, I guess they think that a nigga talking slurred, bitch

I just got syrup in my system

Hey, I guess they thinking I'm tripping

Nah, these niggas really bitches (bitches)
