[English]

Yeah

Proud of my losses I don't care if I'm winning

I see the way they mug, ain't finna stay with you niggas

You know I stay down like a thug, I climb the stairs with my niggas

They like Baby come get yo' spot

I be right there in a minute, I be right there in a minute

It's all good you know I got to take the heart away, but that's the way it go, we don't let 'em come and take your heart away

Or let 'em take your soul away

It go down I'm a slang

I'mma' drop my nuts and let 'em hang

My daughters of family already know the play

Sipping on this tequila, tryna' imagine what my bro would say

Caught up inside of the media, sitting there laughing, nigga I know you ain't

Thinking it won't go down about my struggle

Thinking it won't go down about my struggle, nigga I know you ain't

I can damn near walk in that bitch with my eyes closed, nigga I know the bank

I'mma' give you the real thing every time, ain't no need to overthink

Ready to go through whatever, I know they don't understand the way a solider think

Nigga probably had too much dip on his chip, probably ain't know his rank

Get you out contact let you finish your sentence and sit there and know it's fake

The repo' man came and took a car, guess the note was late

Don't say that, nuh-uh, I hope it ain't

Know I got your back and later you gon' tell 'em fuck me like I ain't over play

I'm the typa' nigga know you really need it, I'mma' go and do it anyway

You ever ride for a nigga, die for a nigga and they ever fell away

And never even feel the need to even come and talk to you, they just drift away

I'mma' run it nigga, pick a play

Hold it up like what my riches say

Fuck that nigga like my bitches say, fuck that nigga like my bitches say

Just look at my eyes, I done been through some shit, that's probably what my picture say

Scared to hold my head up and let you see the real me, cause' I been thuggin' baby

Want you to know that I appreciate the way you make me feel, I know you love me baby

Hold me closer when you fuck me baby, hold me closer when we fucking baby

I'mma' need you to go put a Draco on your name and never report it stolen

Make you look over your shoulder, all of their face whenever you bust it open

I don't like your friends, fuck your homies

Say it two times, fuck your homies

Say it three times, fuck your homies

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's hard to not use my hands, like I'm a man, when you sitting there suckin' on me

It's hard not to love this bitch when I'm out here thuggin', ain't no one loving on me

I don't like your friends, fuck your homies

Say it two times, fuck your homies

Say it three times, fuck your homies

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I wear my losses, I don't care if I'm winning

They won't see me on the top, I'll be back there in a minute

Did everything straight from the heart, they see me stand on the business

We won't see you back on the charts

I'll back there in a minute, I'll be back there in a minute

It's all good, you know I gotta take a stiff away

They ever shut you off, you better go and find a different way, or go and find another way

Fuck these niggas, no, none of these niggas love me just like my brother say

Gotta' watch who you sit and call your friend that's what my mother say

Then go right back and be there to save 'em, just like my mother do

My heart too big and that's why niggas always playing, it's all because of you

Always get back home safe because you always praying, it's all because of you, praying it's all because of you
