[English]

'Mello made it right

I been through too much just to live like this

Double up my cup, you can't sip like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

Now she know I'm up 'cause I drip like this

Now I won't give a fuck, let it rip like this

Hop up in my truck and I whip like this

And now they know I'm up 'cause my wrist like this

No, I can't get enough 'cause I'm sick like this, yeah

I been through too much just to live like this

I been through too much just to live like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

I been through too much just to live like this

Copped another Rollie, but it ain't a Plain Jane

Niggas call the police, but be screamin', "Gang, gang"

Boy, stop actin' like you know me when you know you can't hang

That's my brother, not my homie, nah, that ain't the same thing

And for Busta, I'm gon ride, 'cause we feel the same pain

Like no other, do or die even when the days rain

From the gutter, that's no lie, we on the same page

From the bottom, now we ballin' like Dwayne Wade

I been through too much just to live like this

Double up my cup, you can't sip like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

Now she know I'm up 'cause I drip like this

I been through too much just to live like this

I been through too much just to live like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

I been through too much just to live like this

Phone ring, I decline it, I don't know why they whinin'

I ain't ask them to chime in, real niggas move in silence

Amiri jeans and Balenciagas

Always believed in our dreams, now we got them dollars

If you ain't pleased, baby, please, tell me what's the problem

Yeah, I'm a fiend for the cream like a Baskin-Robbin

Now, just don't leave me in the street 'cause I'll go back to robbin'

This for the team, ain't have a thing, and now we got it poppin'

I been through too much just to live like this

Double up my cup, you can't sip like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

Now she know I'm up 'cause I drip like this

Now I won't give a fuck, let it rip like this

Hop up in my truck and I whip like this

And now they know I'm up 'cause my wrist like this

No, I can't get enough 'cause I'm sick like this, yeah

I been through too much just to live like this

I been through too much just to live like this

I fill my pockets 'til they stuffed, so they fit like this

I been through too much just to live like this

Like this, like this

Like this, like this

Like this, like this

Ooh, no, yeah
