[English]

In my car

In my car

Damn, nice place

In my car

In my car

Sticks in my car

Bricks in my car

I got rich 'bout this car

Going hard and I might swipe my car

With this chopper, hit hard

In my car

In my car

Sticks in my car

Bricks in my car

I got rich 'bout this car

Going hard and I might swipe my car

This chopper hit hard

On the way to the moon, I'm in a star

Jumped out my car

This a yacht, all aboard

Double R

Dough in a jar

Jumping on a jet, I'm going far

I hurt 30, hit hard, but don't play with my squad

I been rich since 16, nigga, keep your day job

Yellow Lamborghini, look like corn on the cob

This a new push to start

I'm in a 6 trapping hard

Shooters in my front yard

Shooters pull up, blitz, we gon' hit, nigga, we want yours

AR, knock his head off, slap a stick

Santa Claus

Chopper cop around your block, block

I got shooters all in Illinois

Hellcat, my engine roar

Private jet to Heathrow

Blue what the big brawl

My wrist cost like 6 tomes

Got my stick, got my clique gun

Lamborghini is yours

Yellow Camaro, boy, go get one

Big Draco, he's gon' hit something

This bankroll like 6 songs

I'm posted in the trenches with young niggas that's gon' blitz something

Started trapping at midnight, ended at like 6 something

This ain't no small Glock, boy, this a big gun

Blue 100 on my game, nigga, ain't no damn ones

Blood red F&N, inside like a tampon

Soon as Billy rap through, bump 'em

I'm from Compton

100 shots out the air 15, hold a whole hun' done

Slap that mini van, don't shoot 'em, go dum dum

I shake that pot like pum pum

I came raw from Zone 1

Big Draco, he gon' blitz some

.com

Still say West Side Zone 1

Slide that Lambo through the zone

They out of bounds if they told, I shoot my Glock, I got a drone

Chopper beat your chest like King Kong

I can taste the lean on my tongue

I came from the slums

Broke ass nigga, you a bum

Murder gang West Side, you knowin' where I'm from

From from from

In my car

In my car

Sticks in my car

Bricks in my car

I got rich 'bout this car

Going hard and I might swipe my car

With this chopper, hit hard

In my car

In my car

Sticks in my car

Bricks in my car

I got rich 'bout this car

Going hard and I might swipe my car

This chopper hit hard
