Lyrics & Translation

[English]

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin' back

We gon' catch these G's, now watch me do just that

Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin back

Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that

Make these monies easy and watch 'em grew in packs

I told my niggas if you hold me back

Uh, imagine Rock up in that field where options ain't so audible

Problems steady fallin', the effects is like some dominoes

Issues chronological, gotta get that money fast

Andale, vamanos, feelin' like Osama, got my llama close

Hope them boys don't come knock at my mama's door

AK-47 out that window, think I'm paranoid

America, another case I cant afford, help me lord

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin' back

We gon' catch these G's, now watch me do just that

Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin back

Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that

Make these monies easy and watch 'em grew in packs

I told my niggas if you hold me back

Been about that money, fuck the damn lotto

Cruisin' through the 'jects wit' the 12 shotta

Most my niggas gone or the jail got 'em

And most these bitches wrong but we still jock 'em

Cocaine in the trap, still rockin'

Them hood rats in the back got that trim poppin'

She twerkin' for the camera while her kids watchin'

And she gon' take that cheese to go wig shoppin'

That's if she owe me that, go check my zodiac

Have many coke and cognac in that culdesac

My uncle Bobby had them bodies, he wore that mac

Ain't talking oldies when its singin' that 40 clap

Can't nobody hold me back, I'mma locomotive steam rollin'

Gotta fight to keep that money stream open

Liquor shots is for your team, that's tree smokin'

In that coupe de ville with d's on it

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin' back

We gon' catch these G's, now watch me do just that

Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin back

Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that

Make these monies easy and watch 'em grew in packs

I told my niggas if you hold me back

Gotta get it ain't no options out here

Her nigga just killed my partner out here

They wonder why we steady glockin' out here

Cuz niggas they ain't really lockin' out here

And we ain't worried 'bout them coppers out here

Do anything to try and stop us out here

No 9-to-5's but we clockin' out here

Every chance they get you know they watch us out here

Oh yeah, got to be that animal

Streets is like a jungle it'll eat you like its Hannibal

Wigs splitted, cantaloupe, yeah we that everyday

Candles lit, pour out liquor, hope it take the pain away

I ain't tryna play my way, I'm just tryna pave my way

Mama tell me gotta save them pennies for them rainy days

Have me snatch that switch, off that branch with some leaves on it

Fantasizin' bout some money trees on 'em

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin' back

We gon' catch these G's, now watch me do just that

Make these monies easy and watched 'em grew in fact

I told my niggas if you hold me back

From pursuin', ain't no comin back

Pick your poison, tell me what you do with that

Make these monies easy and watch 'em grew in packs

I told my niggas if you hold me back

Yeah, on this journey we call life,

its always gonna be obstacles.

Road blocks, things tryna hold you back.

Just keep pushin, don't let nobody tell you you can't do it.

Keep going, know what I mean?

Don't let nobody stop you, I mean nobody.

Uh huh, go hard for what you believe in.

Stay up, wake up, cake up, get paper,

and I swear to God things will fall in your favor.
