[English]

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Tell 'em that I know money, used to gettin' dope money

Now I'm gettin' show money, I need some more up front

Traffickin' a snow bunny, runnin' through a bag of hundreds

Tell 'em that I know money, I need some more up front

Ain't gotta look for me-for me, you know I'm where I'm at

Anywhere where a check be on my set (on Crip)

I ain't never been in debt, stacks on deck

Racks on my neck, better come correct (better come correct)

Drip on me like I'm goin' to the Met, but I'm goin' to a jet

I ain't had no rest (no rest)

Eat and sleep and breathe this - (breathe this -)

Feed the streets like Roddy Ricch (like Roddy Ricch)

Regular clip with a-with a, need extensions (Brr, brr)

'Cause them-'cause them blow fast

Bad-bad, fat-fat, no-no-no

I had to tell that-tell that, she need some more up front

Tell 'em that I know money, used to gettin' dope money

Now I'm gettin' show money, I need some more up front

Traffickin' a snow bunny, runnin' through a bag of hundreds

Tell 'em that I know money, I need some more up front

Drop a diss, we drop you quick then remix the sh- that you rap

Monogamist, the only stick I stick with, married to that

Polygamist, a few got hit

I wife the stick, I ring that (come here come here)

Ayy, noodle sh-, ramen noodle sh-

The family seen that (they seen that)

Go-getter, gorillas go get 'em if it's tension (let's go)

Four-, won't miss 'em, drop a dime, now he missin'

Leave a n- swimmin' with the fishes (ayy, with the fishes)

Water whippin', got mama washin' the dishes (ayy, washin' dishes)

Had the feds at my neck, can't break no sweats

Pressure burst pipes, but it ain't broke me (ain't break shit)

More money, more problems, tell me where it's at (where it's at)

I can handle all it, I ain't fold yet (I ain't fold yet)

More green than a salad, vinaigrette (vinaigrette)

Bad-bad in the valley, give me - (give me -)

Y'all rap n- shows be too dead (too dead)

Y'all need some more up front

Tell 'em that I know money, used to gettin' dope money

Now I'm gettin' show money, I need some more up front

Traffickin' a snow bunny, runnin' through a bag of hundreds

Tell 'em that I know money, I need some more up front

Ayy, tell the labels when I come back to sound

I need some more up front

Ayy, tell the dope boys out there that's frontin' them things

We need some more up front

Tell 'em that I know money, used to gettin' dope money

Now I'm gettin' show money, I need some more up front

Traffickin' a snow bunny, runnin' through a bag of hundreds

Tell 'em that I know money, I need some more up front

I need some more up front

I need some more up front
