[English]

Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right, gettin' slizzard

Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, in my ride, like a Three 6

Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Like a G6, like a G6

Now, now, now, now, now, now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Like a G6, like a G6

Now, now, now, now, now, now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Give me that Mo-Moet-wet

Give me that Cry-Crystal-tal

Ladies love my style, at my table gettin' wild

Get them bottles poppin, we get that drip and that drop

Now give me 2 more bottles 'cause you know it don't stop

(808) Hell yeah

Drink it up, drink-drink it up,

When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk

They be actin' like they drunk, actin'-actin' like they drunk

Whe, when sober girls around me they be actin' like they drunk-unk-unk

Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right gettin' slizzard

Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, in my ride, like a Three 6

Now, now, now, now, now, now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Like a G6, like a G6

Now, now, now, now, now, now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Sippin on, sippin on sizz, I'ma ma-make it fizz

Girl I keep it gangster, poppin' bottles at the crib, crib

This is how we live, every single night

Take that bottle to the head, and let me see you fly

(808) Hell yeah

Drink it up, drink-drink it up

When sober girls around me, they be actin' like they drunk

They be actin' like they drunk, actin' like they drunk

Whe, when sober girls around me they be actin' like they dru-u-unk

Poppin' bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

When we drink we do it right gettin slizzard

Sippin' sizzurp in my ride, in my ride, like Three 6

Now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6

Like a G6, like a G6

Now, now, now, now, now, now I'm feelin' so fly like a G6
