[English]
So many, so many, so many things to tell you
Oh, oh, my bro, oh, oh, my bro
So many, so many, so many things to tell you
...
Oh, oh, my bro, oh, oh, my bro
(AWA the mafia, my nigga)
I wanted us to become kings of the city
The two of us used to sell weed
I promised not to forget you even if I have to leave
Your mother is mine, your brother is mine (is mine)
You're the blood in my veins so we gotta be good (gotta be good)
And since you're there when there's war
You'll be there on party days
We don't run in front of the cops
Nah, nah, that's for losers
We knew each other way before rap, us
Way before the buzz (before the buzz)
Staying the same is key (staying the same is key)
Today, caviar, I don't forget the pebbles we ate the day before (we ate the day before)
It's us against the world, hooded in front of the bank, we scare the old lady (in the bank, in the bank)
So many things to tell you (so many things to tell you, yes)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
Ah, my bro, I have so many things to tell you
(So many, so many, so many things to tell you)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
A little too drunk, I might tell you what's wrong (might tell you what's wrong, nah)
Tell me if it's my fault
Ah, my bro, I have so many things to tell you
(So many, so many, so many things to tell you)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
A little too drunk, I might tell you what's wrong
Tell me if it's my fault
Eh, it's better to fix the crack before the glass breaks
Tell me if it's ambiguous
I like it when everything is clear (when everything is clear)
Only cash and bitches can divide (can divide)
Soldier without division, I dreamed of the butterfly opening (ring)
That we climb the building together, make the revolution (eh, eh)
The 6.35 will do the trick, no need for a long barrel
We start as two, we end as two, we go in as 10, we come out as 13
With bags full of money (money)
Today, caviar, I don't forget the pebbles we ate the day before (we ate the day before)
...
It's us against the world, hooded in front of the bank, we scare the old lady (in the bank, in the bank)
So many things to tell you (so many things to tell you, yes)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
Ah, my bro, I have so many things to tell you
(So many, so many, so many things to tell you)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
A little too drunk, I might tell you what's wrong
Tell me if it's my fault
Ah, my bro, I have so many things to tell you
(So many, so many, so many things to tell you)
If I told you everything, I'd get home late (late)
A little too drunk, I might tell you what's wrong
Tell me if it's my fault
My bro, so many things to tell you
Tell me if it's my fault
A little too drunk, I might tell you what's wrong
