[English]

I'ma show the world what's up, so just be patient

When they hate on me, I be fuckin' a nigga bitch, so keep on hatin'

I put up with 20 pounds when I came back, I just had paper

When I'm done, I'll fly her out from Cali' like a Laker

I got anything you need, come get it, I won't be a hater

Call my nigga right now, he pull up with 20 flavors

And I think this nigga growin', nigga probably got some acres

So I can't bring my niggas 'round him, they gon' try to take it

After any nigga touch me, they on Facebook with the fakers

I'll fuck around and shoot myself, this bitch ain't got no safety

And I never gave a fuck, I'm 'bout to push a nigga crazy

A hundred bitches in my DM right now, tryna rape me

Keep it real

I never fuck with niggas, I'm a racist

Keep it real

Diamonds dancin' in my Rolex, call you racist

Keep it real

Baby mama know my songs, and I'm her favorite

Keep it real

Bitch, y'all argue every time you hear a player

You ungrateful motherfucker, need to learn to be more grateful

Taught you everything you know, bitch, I'm your father, tell me thank you

All these niggas wanna be like me, 'cause I'm the one who raised 'em

I ain't cappin', it's just a fact, you hear me say it

Bitch, I'ma show the world what's up, so just be patient

When they hate on me, I be fuckin' a nigga bitch, so keep on hatin'

I put up with 20 pounds when I came back, I just had paper

When I'm done, I'll fly her out from Cali' like a Laker

I been outchea for a week, ain't got no sleep, I'll get some later

Buckle up my seatbelt, I'm not speedin', I'm just skatin'

And who the fuck told y'all I'm not the best? Ain't no debatin'

Every challenge, tribulation, look the devil in his face and

Tell 'em "Fuck 'em", I ain't backin' down from nothin', I respond to a hater

on the internet, they bluffin'

Never did you good with cussin', my dream way too big to cut it

Left a bitch and she started cryin', told that bitch to make a puddle

I'm one dirty motherfucker

Hoes don't love me, I don't love 'em like the Joker, I've been tryna treat you like a slut when we be fuckin'

Fuck her image, all these niggas know exactly how I'm comin'

Ain't no way I let you trick me, I'ma spot a bitch, I'ma hunt it

For real

I'ma show the world what's up, so just be patient

When they hate on me, I be fuckin' a nigga bitch, so keep on hatin'

I put up with 20 pounds when I came back, I just had paper

When I'm done, I'll fly her out from Cali' like a Laker
