[English]

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Either with us or against us

Get down to lay down

Made it from the trenches

Now we makin' toasts

Celebratin' niggas business

Y'all don't really get it

Dog is really home

Every other post, dog got different bros

Oh, no, no, that's not day one shit

That's dumb shit

All my dogs solid as they come, baby

Those are my niggas still with us

Those that stayed down through rough waters on the river

A few jumped ship, it is what it is

My life not still for me to even trip

Bunch of beautiful chicks, overseas trips

With the same dogs that was here for me (real)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh

All my dogs got the dog in 'em, all in 'em, all dogs

Dog, got the dog in 'em, all in 'em, all my dogs

Baby, I'm sorry

One of my biggest fears is losin' you to the Internet

Wakin' up in our bed with you right by my neck

Sayin', "Don't you break a sweat"

Pillow talkin' ain't my game

Pillow talkin' ain't my name

Pillow talkin' ain't my name

Baby, I love you

I know you see this rain, I know you feel my pain

Look at these niggas bashin' me like Jesus 'cause I made it

Look at all this shit we've been through, baby cryin' in Mercedes

Fuck a jail call, I was playin', I'd never trade you

You was encouragin' me on my bad days

You pick the kids up, despite me bein' away

That's why every day you wake up, I'm tryna make you happy

I'm sorry for bein' a part of these hoes laughin' at you

I'm sorry for takin' you from who had you

Just to put you through this madness, I'm the reason you crashin'

How the hell you go to jail for me bein' bad?

I'm the reason they bashin' you, damn

Love to my niggas still with us

Those that stay down through rough waters can relate

Feel like my future ain't shit

It is what it is

Drizzy, you my brother

You know I ain't goin' against you, I got manners

Everything you did for the rap community, can't ban you

Never diss you, came to visit me at Cobb County like my kin do

Fuck the jail call, you know the other calls we had

Tryna get you, Metro, and Pluto on the same page

The internet don't know about it because real niggas don't say

Real niggas do and I learned that from you

We had our own differences, but Cash came through

And got us on the phone

Like why you and Cash beefin'? Nigga, he got us on the phone

He pulled up to my home

Ever since y'all niggas' differences, it never passed dawn

It's darkness every day

I called Metro on the phone and told him let it go

You can ask him what I say

Brother, some of y'all biggest hits together

The chemistry been there, nigga, I don't care about what they say

Wham, pick up the phone, yeah, talk to me, it's Spider

Taught you everything you know 'bout this shit, we for lifers

God told you in the bible, the devil will knife ya

Rats already winnin', don't let this shit divide us

You a real nigga, but you do real and hide it

Gave a couple niggas on this case $75,000

Helpin' with their lawyers and never speakin' 'bout it

I wish the world knew everything man, just like

How one thousand and trill you is my nigga

I swear to God bro, that's why

When you don't speak up for yourself and show them that you real

I be tryin' my best to just do that shit

Bro, just show niggas like, bro we real niggas

Bro, we solid, we don't speak on that shit, bro

We foundation of men, bro, we learned that shit from niggas like Pluto, you know I'm sayin'

Our OG's, niggas who, who and— who inspired us to do this music shit, you know I'm sayin'

It's all love and respect on my end, you already know that, bro

I don't even know why I'm speakin' on that type shit

Man, I miss my dog

Sittin' down and havin' talks with me

Walkin' me through this life shit, you deserve an apology

Standin' right beside you and you was right beside me

I don't gotta speak on your name, they know astrology

Always a dog to me, always kept it real

So I had one mission, that's to make you proud of me

Came and did an album with me when I wasn't even proud of me

Bitches told me that you talkin' bad, I know they lyin' to me

See you to yourself 'cause I know Scooter got you sad

I know what you told me, nigga, keep KB beside me

RIP to Street, yeah, juggin' been inside of me

You don't gotta talk about him, I know how you feel, you cried to me

If he was livin' right now, he'd tell you, "Call Thug"

Love you for real so when I see your son, I give him hugs

You treat my deaf brother, like your own brother

Nigga, Casino in my will right next to my mama, yeah

Savage, you are a real nigga, don't let them tell you different

You've been callin' my phone ever since niggas went missin'

I wish the Internet could hear the calls, I'm so serious

Like how I got you and Wham on the phone to settle differences

You tried to get me and Lucci on the phone, plenty

Like how I got Pluto and Drizzy on another mission

It might not even work out, but at least I could say I did it

Like, you did that Thugger, you did that, you did that

Nigga, pat yourself on the back, you did that

Nah, for real, for real, you did that

Man, I miss my dog

1017, this shit for life

Me and you against the world, we back to back plenty nights

Nigga, you know you ain't soft and you didn't raise a rat

Nigga, Guwop word law, I think Jeezy'll tell you that

Nigga, please I'm not a rat, but that cheese where it's at

All the niggas on the case that didn't take pleas, that is that

My family, where you at?

My daddy think my mama other kids his, and that's a fact

My sisters and my brothers, I love you

Broke down my first million with all y'all 'cause I love you

You ain't gotta be around, just know nothin' is above you

Stimulatin' my mind since a kid better than drugs do

Mama, I'm sorry, daddy, I'm sorry

For tryna to make them get it when then they don't understand me

Made some mistakes, now the game tryna ban me

They don't want your child no more, now they tryna plan B me (either with us or against us)

Get down to lay down

Made it from the trenches

Now we makin' toasts

Celebratin' niggas business

Y'all don't really get it

Dog is really home

Every other post, dog got different bros

Holdin' on, no, that's not day one shit
