[English]

(Rippa on the beat, bitch)

Fresh out of jail, but don't think I'm scared to go back, motherfucker

I still'll hit a nigga with that glizzy

If rap don't pop, I'm back to stealin' identity, I'm back to credit card theft

Back to credit card fraud

Fresh out of jail and Atlantic Records dropped that bag on me

Yeah, them crackers just dropped that bag on me again

Let me hear it

Fresh out of jail, made another milli'

And bitch, don't think I changed, 'cause I didn't

I'll still'll hit a nigga with that glizzy

If rap don't pop, I'm back to stealin' identity

Credit card fraud, I'm in an Infiniti

I just took my brother's charge like I am not rich

I took my brother's charge like I ain't got shit

I guess he ain't step up for me 'cause he ain't got it in him

I'm walkin' 'round with 50 thousand in my denim

And I don't trust nobody, I'm drinkin' snake venom

And I don't like you nigga, man, I'm just sayin'

I don't really like you bitches, I be just playin'

Before I turned up off the porch, I was ready then

Let's see if I can shoot the pistol with my left hand

Type of nigga hit the party with my FN

Type of nigga fuck a shawty and her best friend

I be gettin' to the loot, I be gettin' it in

Free my niggas eatin' soup 'cause they in the can

Road runnin', gettin' money, I be pullin' scams

Redrum, head huntin', nigga, what you sayin'?

If you fuck with me, then why you got me doin' time?

If you fuck with me, then why you got me slangin' iron?

All these bitches on my dick, but they can't even ride

Got my mama out the bricks, she ain't gotta cry

Ayy, don't be fuckin' with my clique if you ain't tryna die

I'm a Zoe, don't call me Slime, then you is not my kind

I be steppin' on these niggas, I don't rest up

I put my foot down on that bitch, she be like, "Yes sir"

Free my nigga JGreen, took one for the team

Hit the bank, I want no dubs, don't even

Kodak Black, I don't fuck with cuz, cuz green

Hit the slab, go and run it up, you know what I mean

You know what I mean? You know what I'm sayin'?

Free my niggas eatin' soup 'cause they in the can

You know what I mean? You know what I'm sayin'?

Free my niggas eatin' soup 'cause they in the can

Fresh out of jail, made another milli'

And bitch, don't think I changed, 'cause I didn't

I'll still'll hit a nigga with that glizzy

If rap don't pop, I'm back to stealin' identity

Credit card fraud, I'm in an Infiniti

Yeah, I just called Chief, he said that's not it

You keep tweetin' 'bout a nigga, get your block hit

I guess he ain't fuckin' with me 'cause I ain't fuckin' with him
