[English]

I lit a big blunt and put it in the air

Ride through the city feeling like a player

Lot of money on me so them niggas haters

Aye, I put it in the air

I'm getting money, smoking dope feeling good shit

Nigga got caught by 12, snitched on the whole hood

Fake ass nigga, snake ass nigga

Pull on your block that chopper hit your face

Karma loyal he beating the case, Fuckin with Soulja that's first 48

Fuck them fuck niggas talking bout

Sipping on surp I'm feeling like whop house

100 million that's a large amount

That's a large large large large large large amount

Nigga talking like they really with it

Hit the chopper get that shit straight and quit it

All of my niggas they bailing no limit

Pull on your block and I'm really with it

100 bricks and 100 civics, push to the block and then lamo limit

All of my niggas they pull with them choppers

You know that my niggas ain't playing

50,000 one day off a show, my bitch she looking like damn

You know I'm the man, fuck with little Soulja I ain't pulling no strings

I lit a big blunt and put it in the air

Ride through the city feeling like a player

Lot of money on me so them niggas haters

I put it in the air

My diamonds they dancing

Rocking out like Marilyn Manson

Living in a mansion, trap out the Fendi

Bitches say that I look like handsome

On nominated for a grammy

My choppers they shoot at your face

My niggas they winning the race

Lamborghini that's on ormen the leg

Feeling like Santa Claus on the gifts with the sled

Choppers shooting at your head, talking shit then you dead

Rest in peace to the hater, chopper hit that nigga up

Everybody know what's up, nigga I don't give a fuck

500 bricks in a u haul truck

Pulling in no I don't swerving, Smoking gorilla like I'm urban

Know that I'm serving, All of my nigga they serving

Bitches say that I look way better in person

Write my name up in cursor, Call it the autograph

30,000 with the bricks

Make the birds take a birth bath

Splash I lit a big blunt and put it in the air

Ride through the city feeling like a player

Lot of money on me so them niggas haters

I put it in the air
