CMB – English Lyrics

• By: Mr. GMT

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Stop Myer Lansky shit.

Back to sea going in a cop, don't get caught.

Gotta cover every angle when we out, ain't no creeping on the mob.

But sometimes you gotta leave it up to God, listen.

I never been a thief & I don't rob, I'm getting paid whilst I sleep,

I guess I'm sleeping on the job.

Can put a 20 on my head 'cuz that ain't real money.

My shooter do it out of love, that's how he feel for me.

I love a spinner's but admire semi's.

I hugged the Nina, told her we belong together like Mariah Carey.

When I drop they say it feel like the sound of drugs.

See I was slipping down the drain until I found a plug.

Take off my shoes hat 'n jewels when I'm round my moms.

Like I don't bring my 2nd phone when I'm round the thugs.

I feel like Bart Simpson when I got that Springfield.

That 357 feel like a mini windmill.

Still trillin but it's been trill.

And this a big league event, you wrap light like some cling film.

Rolling Stone Trilly been about.

I rock the Ricky's like Michael Jordan, keep the tongue sticking out.

I hid the blicky at my b*****'s house.

I told her mind what she doing when she told me I should whip it out.

I fall back and watch my funds spread.

And roll a cali skunk head, course I'm sipping Don Londrés.

Had nightmares on that bunk bed.

If you're an eagle why would you not fly? Is what my mum said.

All this water round my neck just made your chick faint.

I'm having 50 point nights just like some Knicks tape.

Sitting on that couch tryna use my name for click bait.

You're pushing 50 like a who kid mixtape.

I'm living out the way, getting checks while I smile.

Different kettle kind of fish, ain't like the rest in the pile.

This little n***a been tryna wear my creps for a while.

So all he do is say my name like Destiny's Child.

Had more white than the BNP.

The black Myer Lansky, but to you it's Mr. GMT.

I'm Nino Brown and this is CMB.

And I don't write, but if I did, forget a pen I'll use some TNT.

All gold on me like Kat Slater.

So my driver got the tray, just like a black waiter.

Big rooks in the ring, this a back breaker.

Was rapping in the Kitty's house I made the cats wake up.

Putting in the works when you was doing nish & slacking.

I'm in a different world, different pattern.

Mercury, Venus, Jupiter or Saturn.

Ain't a planet you can see me on when it comes to rapping.

A rough life just make a fine gangster.

Tagging up in the cellar had me feeling like a wine stamper.

I set the bar, you're just a bystander.

I been around for like 3 generations I'm the Highlander.

Paranoia make my head spin.

I leave the showroom before I drive home I'm getting fresh tints.

Since 09 I been the best since.

That's when I had the Coke dancing like Carlton in The Fresh Prince.

You never wore nothing that I wanted to.

Cause I've been putting on that s*** since I hopped out my mother's womb.

I flow solar like the sun & moon.

This just a sonic boom.

New mixtape coming soon.

  ➔ The phrase 'Gotta cover' means 'have to cover'. 'Ain’t no' is a colloquial way to emphasize negation.

• I'm getting paid whilst I sleep, I guess I'm sleeping on the job.

  ➔ Present continuous ('am getting paid') and idiomatic irony ('sleeping on the job').

  ➔ Shows action in progress even during rest; the phrase 'sleeping on the job' is ironic, meaning lazy at work, but here it suggests earning passively.

• Sometimes you gotta leave it up to God.

  ➔ Modal-like informal phrase ('gotta') + infinitive verb ('leave').

  ➔ 'Gotta' acts like 'have to', giving advice. The infinitive 'leave' follows it to form the phrase 'gotta leave'.

  ➔ Past perfect/simple past omission (subject 'I' omitted).

  ➔ Dropping the subject is stylistic and common in lyrics, giving a reflective tone without changing grammar meaning.

• You're pushing 50 like a who kid mixtape.

  ➔ Present continuous ('pushing') for near future or exaggerated description.
