[English]

I'm like fucking vetoing this shit boy

My name whole way

Most fucking skinny nigga out there whole way

You know what I'm saying?

You know I'm real alpha as well

Wanna get bold on this, over

It's over for them

Yo, yo

Hop out, heartbeats drop, don't drop out

Glocks out, give us a drop, get shot down

Get that guck, still bloodhound

Lock them streets, put jails on lockdown

Beats still fire in the wuck house

Goofy started a war on cocked out

Labels think I'm hostile

Locked inside on blackballs, sus still locked out

Zombie making zoovies

Crazy scene whenever we popped out

Whacked his head and his shoulder popped out

Why it sing that Goose had enough now?

Tell me who have you ran down?

You ain't catch that and scored you a touchdown

Ball bust gun bust, can't put a bust down

Less he's in dubs he ain't putting his gun down

Fuck it, do it on camera, my crash out

Fuck it, I am who I am, so cash out

Man make more than your man and still feel broke

I'm feeding a fam, man need me a hundred times

A hundred bands, got regular not in my plan

That basic made me lose my gaan

I headbutt him like Zidane

Blade come back like Janubi

Stepped with Sudanese in a sedan

I was in Kenya getting mardan

They thought I was ogre then clan

It's mad that I used to sell cats, no fans

There's hella rush hour like Tucker and Chan

It's peak wherever they land

I try not boast but red side running the can

We're running the, uh

Still running the streets, uh

I'm still dumping these beats

I still murder the beats

Just out murdering them in the streets

Fucking hell, listen, look

Hop out, heartbeats drop, don't drop out

Glocks out, give us a drop, get shot down

Get that guck, still bloodhound

Lock them streets, put jails on lockdown

Beats still fire in the wuck house

Goofy started a war on cocked out

Labels think I'm hostile

Locked inside on blackballs, sus still locked out

I just did it broad day, I feel like broad day

I risked it all for his jewels, they were all fake

He got packed, caught in 4K

I paid the lawyer fees for the court case

Wallahi he ran but I caught up to your mate

Turned his T-shirt strawberry shortcake

In real time it was a short chase

When you saw my face, should've saw your face

Excuse me miss, what's your name?

Chef like Kano, chef like gourmet

Just left Blue nightclub with your bae

And we got straight down to it, no foreplay

Cuz just phoned from yard, that's more Ks

Pam belly clip, that's more cray

Bap, bap, bap, bap, guess it's your day

She got more bodies than suspects

She suspect, still told folks that he can bring them

Think if I hit her like "What's up?"

I can get Jada to come to my kingdom

Got a fat pussy girl from England

Got a coolie girl half Indian

Got down my man, what was he thinking?

Caught him and sunk him, now let that sink in

Like, shit
