[English]

I got that Henny in my system

Somebody 'bout to be my victim

You can find me on either side of the river, either side of the lake

Seventh Ward swervin', dodgin' potholes, curbstompin' m-boxes

Them Roxys, Lawd, it's been a while, since I been jaw dropped, outfoxed, shit

Ashtray livin' and I'm spendin' no buts

I don't wanna hear it, I don't fear it, I shrug

Goodie blunt puffed, I'ma slide back cuffed

Bucktown bound and I'm all down for the cut

Louisiana born, grey bandana sworn in

Bring the fucking storm, splatter with no warning

Sippin' cherry fanta, AK splittin' up bananas

Ratatata with the hammer, young cracka five and oh foreign

Seventh Ward in the ninth inning

Bitch, you 'bout to die, if I see ya shit grinnin'

Rough and fuckin' rugged, I was raised up in the slime

Suicide mindset, but I'm alive and winnin'

Bitch, I'm 'bout to slide so hard, I'm slippin'

Dodgin' all my demons, but I keep on trippin'

Wallet fulla cream, I can sleep while spendin'

Ima big shot, keep on sippin' big who dat livin'

Hell nah, I ain't simping on no corny ass bitch

Pop a pill like Kodak, I glitch for the twitch

Cup stay dirty like I'm pouring up in Flint

I might need some 'roids just to hold up my wrist

Might catch a STD the way they all on my dick

For once I leave the crib and see they still ain't on shit

Been sober six years, how it's still in my piss?

Mask and a stick, feel like Dill up in the pit

I don't fuck with nobody like I went celibate

Boy breathing for his life, they think he meditating

I'm at the cornerstore yelling asa lama lakem

Bunch of boys ready to kill cuz that's how momma raised 'em

The way I'm lapping all of these rappers they might drug test me

High clean but my hoe messy

Ask Ruby, I got no memory

What type of drug? Dog I need every

King of the North, motherfuck Joffrey

Live from the grey to fuck up the algorithm

I don't beef with boys that ain't got no alpha in them

Just for fun, yeah, I'm that mother fucker that will crash

They want that smoke

And I'm outside like where they at?

Where they at?

Where they at?

Where they at?

Where they at?

Left foot step

Right foot slide

3's in the air reppin' Grey Five Nine

Left foot step

Right foot slide

3's in the air reppin' Grey Five Nine
