[English]

I let you go, embrace it

ATL Jacob, ATL Jacob

Starin' out my window

I think the day just got bad

Waitin' for the sun to come up

To dry these eyes

Take it all out again

Please, this sorrow

Oh

I be wanting to cut a nigga dick off and make him eating

I got torture in my heart full of gas

I smell promethazine every time I fart

You know I'm on my demon, I kept it Z right from the start

Left no footprints on the scene, I did a mission in some crocs

Everyday Halloween, I spin broad day, it ain't gotta be dark

Everyday shopping spree while riding in the mall, I'm pushing carts

Rocking all white cocaine clean, you know I'm hiding from the narcs

Now my nigga been wanna beef because I ain't tryna pay his lawyer

Fuck them, made us bleed and ever since been tryna avoid me

Baby girl got that peach back there, she gotta be from Georgia

Walk through across the Lilly diddly, bitch, I'ma need a quarter

Bust down Jesus piece, lately I've been feeling anointed

Staring out the window on a jigga early morning

You know you can't beat a nigga, might as well and come and join me

Scored a 40 and I ain't 30 yet, like how you ain't gone afford me

Say I can't wait to Sniper Gang, shoot shit up like the army

Starin' out my window

I think the day just got bad

Waitin' for the sun to come up

To dry these eyes

Take it all out again

Please, this sorrow

Oh

Hey, got you bitch stretched out, she in here getting pee'd on

Walking around the house butt naked with my mink on

Dumped a whole clip on a bitch, then I reload

Fuck with lil Crix, that's my dawg, yea he throwed me

Even tho I know the nigga hating, I'ma keep showing love

Until I get him where I want them, I'ma cut throat him

Sweet petite freak soaking wet, weighing 140

Every drink turn Easter pink in my cup holder

I promise not to get too excited about nothing

I don't expect for love to turn on me

Watching all the days fade, I can't even enjoy it

Because I be in the studio until 8 in the morning

They keep throwing beef on my plate when I ain't hungry

I be tryna kill everything, I can't focus

Think about where I been, and where I came, and where I got

I been at the top of my game, where I'd be without

Starin' out my window

I think the day just got bad

Waitin' for the sun to come up

To dry these eyes

Take it all out again

Please, this sorrow

Oh
