Lyrics & Translation

[English]

808 J got that fire!

You down bad, I know it hurt you

Your situation could be worse

We had to grind from out the mud, this shit here came from out the dirt

We ain't have a lot but we took what we had and made it work

We gon' get richer, get indicted, tryna you scared and go to church

Tryna grind it up, let's talk about it

Tryna change your situation, shit let's talk about it

Bitch complaining why you hustling, shit let's talk about it

We get it done and we don't never ever talk about it

Yeah

One time for the hustlers, two times for my people's down the way

Put my life up on the line, I'm praying three times a day

Started from the bottom bitch, now I got bank I feel like Chase

You ain't no baller, you just talk about the ballers, you like Nate

Call me Deontay Wilder, I'm still getting paper to this day

She gon' call me when she in a band, I'm pulling up like Nate

Bulletproof Escalade, you can't never be too safe

Bad pint then buy another one, ain't never too much drink

A bitch tell you that she love you, sit right in your face and lie

I play stupid, fuck 'em, block their number and make 'em wonder why

How the fuck you know that you ain't gon' never make it unless you try

You wake up and chase this shit or you just wake up getting high

Me, I wake up, get some head, I'll take a shower and get fly

Way too many options, six or seven cars that I can drive

Making hundred, making fifty, make it dub and multiply

Hit up Gerry with the quickness, chain gon' bust their fucking eyes

Battle over call exit, time to pick my fucking ride

I keep sipping on this codeine, I'm sleeping on the job

You heard a rumor dawg was up, I'm here to tell you that's a lie

You heard that you can fuck with me, I'm here to tell you you cannot

You down bad, I know it hurt you

Your situation could be worse

We had to grind from out the mud, this shit here came from out the dirt

We ain't have a lot but we took what we had and made it work

We gon' get richer, get indicted, tryna you scared and go to church

Tryna grind it up, let's talk about it

Tryna change your situation, shit let's talk about it

Bitch complaining why you hustling, shit let's talk about it

We get it done and we don't never ever talk about it

Yeah

Three sixty five grinding for a nonstop

Put a bitch in timeout, make her cry her eyes out

I'm at Zimas four time, P's you at the pot shop

Even when I sign out, I still live a mob life

Cactused Jack brown G-Wagon, snatch it at the toy

Pay a rap nigga for a drop, we got pass galore

You can SEAL D and LEADER ADDY they be at your door

You can hash your folk boy, I'm stamped like package dope

Verified the check for real, two cars alone a half a mil

Trafficking like Bobby Shmurda, in the trap with double M's

Coming out to cut my hand, I'm a human money counter

Forty zips on the beat collecting dust, don't give a fuck about it

Don't ask me about that bitch for when she leave I don't think nothing about it

Fuck your re-my cup is thousand, I just sip the cup a house

99 things I'm worried about but it ain't money problem

Sometimes I just let the backend stack and let my daughter count it

I'm blessed and highly favored, no complaining I know what this shit came with, I ain't changing

Let's talk about how I was raised, that shit made me

I was told to get the money, fuck being famous

You down bad, I know it hurt you

Your situation could be worse

We had to grind from out the mud, this shit here came from out the dirt

We ain't have a lot but we took what we had and made it work

We gon' get richer, get indicted, tryna you scared and go to church

Tryna grind it up, let's talk about it

Tryna change your situation, shit let's talk about it

Bitch complaining why you hustling, shit let's talk about it

We get it done and we don't never ever talk about it

Yeah
