[English]

You just hatin' 'cause I'm realer than you

My bitch badder than your bitch, and I got pictures to prove

And we so high up like we buildin' a roof

I make millions out of nothin' from just spillin' my truth

Yeah, we still grindin' like we got somethin' to prove

Even though we got nothin' to prove

Took every risk 'cause we had nothin' to lose

Makin' millions just spillin' my truth

Spillin' my truth

Spillin' my truth

Look, okay, look, crazy thing about it

I was in the can, and I was still makin' deposits, and I kept it solid, uh

Red bone bitch tryna suck me like a Lolli

Everything I left when I was gone, I still got it

Ay, boy, you dead wrong if you think I'll ever let you try me (uh)

And I'm on parole, but I'll never go without it (look)

Never held my head down, I'm ten toes about it!

Took my time, showin' these diamonds, I know they eyein'

Say Pat like, "Bro, why is you smilin'? This nigga wildin'"

Ay, they was tryna give me 200 years, they was tryna hide me

How you get 200 years without a body?

Momma shed too many tears, no more cryin'

Truth

Spillin' my truth

Spillin' my (look)

They say I threw my mans out

When you on a move, sometimes it don't go how it planned out

You wouldn't understand how

A whole lot of trials and tribulations got me this far

Rest up, 'cause your grandson made it this far

Ay, I'm just glad his last ride was the back of a 'Bach

He was somethin' like Cam Newton, had a whole lotta hats

The shit I put my family through, I'm just glad to be back

I been a big dog, fool, I was never a rat

If you catch me talkin', it's facts, I put the hood on my back

I'll put yo face on a shirt if you put my name in your raps

The streets to the cage, I adapt

They say I changed, that's cap, if you see me hatin', that's rare

Through all of that pain, you wasn't there

You just hatin' 'cause I'm realer than you

My bitch badder than your bitch, and I got pictures to prove

And we so high up like we buildin' a roof

I make millions out of nothin' from just spillin' my truth

And we still grindin' like we got somethin' to prove

Even though we got nothin' to prove

Took every risk 'cause we had nothin' to lose

Makin' millions just spillin' my truth

Spillin' my truth

Spillin' my truth

(damn Kyle, you going crazy)

Spillin' my truth

Spillin' my truth
