[English]

Yeah

I like to, I like to, I like to

I like to, uh

I like to

I like to cash out

Gon' grab on that beeper, but don't wanna back out

In the trap, yeah, smokin' on ZaZa

Big Draco, nigga, came straight out the jungle

Pinky ring bussdown car, Tesla

Even my pinky ring bussdown

I feel like Roddy Ricch, got racks in the middle

Ridin' 'round town and I'm beatin' the pack

ZaZa, tropical, I got exotic pack

Torpedo be eatin', gon' blow through your back

I ran up the racks

Transform, transform like Goku

My diamonds, they 3D, my diamonds, they Roku

I'm slidin', I'm ridin', I'm poppin' outside with' my choppa

We just like a coyote, get this shit poppin'

I come like the army, you know that I'm poppin'

I ain't what I ain't, I am what I am

I'm uppin' my choppa, I'm gon' shoot at them

I'm ballin' on niggas, I'm breakin' the rim

I'ma take a Bathing Ape and bulletproof vest

If he sticks up for me, I'ma cut off his hand

I'ma slide in on the block with' them choppas and blam

It's a big body Urus or brand new Lamb'

I ran up the M's and they say how I got it

On the way to the moon, I took off like a rocket

Ooh, ridin' around with' them racks in my pocket

I take that pack, then I get out

Headed to a bag right now

It's up, then it's stuck right now

Beat the block down, pop out with' that fire

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, and right now

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah, right now

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah, right now

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah, they mad

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah, they mad

I know that they mad, yeah, they mad, yeah, they mad
