[English]

(Mustard on the beat, ho)

I said that I'ma ride for my motherfuckin' nigga

Most likely I'ma die with my finger on the trigger

I've been grindin' outside all day with my niggas

And I ain't goin' in unless I'm with my nigga

My nigga, my nigga (my nigga, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga (my motherfuckin' niggas)

My nigga, my nigga (my nigga, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga, yeah

First thing first, I love all my niggas

This rap shit cracked and I involve my niggas

You lookin' for some lean, lemme call my nigga

He sell it for the high, I need all mine, nigga

Some niggas smoke smoke, some nigga drink drank

Got niggas on the block with the Glock that don't think

That's a nigga, back up, they in a bucket lapped up

I got to act right if you niggas wanna act up

He talkin' like a snitch, no, that ain't my nigga

He trippin' off a bitch, no, that ain't my nigga

Take a nigga case, yeah, that's my nigga

Know him since I was eight, yeah, that's my nigga

Fucked my first bitch, passed her to my nigga

Hit my first lick, passed with my nigga (my nigga)

Fuck them other niggas 'cause I'm down for my niggas

I ride for my niggas, fuck them other niggas

I said that I'ma ride for my motherfuckin' nigga

Most likely I'ma die with my finger on the trigger (4Hunnid)

I've been grindin' outside all day with my niggas

And I ain't goin' in unless I'm with my nigga

My nigga, my nigga (Dope Boys, my niggas)

My nigga, my nigga (YG, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga (Rich Homie, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga (it's the motherfuckin' world)

Just know I'm down with the niggas down for me

I got two words for you, love and loyalty

It was me and my nigga, trippin' on a half a B

Then we used to hit a mall and buy everything we see

Me and my down-ass nigga gettin' twisted (twisted)

Nigga get to trippin', he knock the gravy out your biscuit (boom, ayy)

Just know I fuck with you the long way, my nigga

So when I see you out I'm like, "Hey, my nigga"

Drink the Act' right by the case with my niggas

Drink the Act' right and get straight with my niggas

Me and my nigga ridin' dirty tryna chase them figures

Who got the yopper? Who got the yola? Don't matter, go figure

I said that I'ma ride for my motherfuckin' nigga (wassup?)

Most likely I'ma die with my finger on the trigger

I've been grindin' outside all day with my niggas

And I ain't goin' in unless I'm with my nigga

My nigga, my nigga (it's the motherfuckin' world)

My nigga, my nigga (YG, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga (Rich Homie, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga (my nigga, my niggas)

My nigga got cake, my nigga got weight

My nigga fronted me, he the reason I'm straight

My nigga got a house, my nigga got a lake

My nigga, we eatin', my nigga get a plate

And we're still hittin' licks with my nigga, my nigga

Runnin' off with a nigga shit with my nigga, my nigga

I fuck a nigga bitch with my nigga, my nigga

If a nigga talkin' shit, then he ain't my nigga

My nigga, my nigga (my nigga, my nigga)

YG my nigga (YG) and I ain't goin' in, ain't tryna leave my niggas (nah)

Shawty seein' me and want to leave with a nigga (let go)

But it wasn't enough room 'cause I came with my niggas (that's right too)

My niggas, my niggas

I need a set of wing 'cause I'm too fly, nigga

And I'm all about my bidness like a suit and tie nigga

I ride for my niggas (believe that)

I said that I'ma ride for my motherfuckin' nigga

Most likely I'ma die with my finger on the trigger

I've been grindin' outside all day with my niggas

And I ain't goin' in unless I'm with my nigga

My nigga, my nigga

My nigga, my nigga (my motherfuckin' niggas)

My nigga, my nigga (my nigga, my nigga)

My nigga, my nigga, yeah

My nigga, my nigga

My nigga, my nigga

My nigga, my nigga, yeah
