[English]

Yeah, yeah

Still in the basement

Just the basement's a little bit bigger now, huh

It's crazy

Yeah, let me talk to you

Yeah

I used to catch trains (Yeah), now it's planes flyin'

Now I'm really stayin', now my chain diamond

I used to count changes, now it's eight-figure deals

And I spent about a million on the wheels (Yeah)

I can't believe what I've achieved

I can't be damned, I need a minute

It's hittin' me way differently

This is a dream, I need a minute

Yeah

I'm havin' outer body moments in the town that got me

Heaven now, my house is godly

When they see me out, they stop me

Neighbors turn to paparazzi

Off the music pop-pop taught me

Pop-up tops they cop up probably

This is what hip hop just brought me

I'm thankful, I'm grateful, I'm countin' my blessings

I rebuke you, bitch, I'm pure

I'm changin' all of my sessions

This is copyright retention, this is ownership expression

This is roll a quarter-pound and play a beat and write a message

I used to catch trains (Yeah), now it's planes flyin'

Now I'm really stayin', now my chain diamond

I used to count changes, now it's eight-figure deals

And I spent about a million on the wheels (Yeah)

I can't believe what I've achieved

I can't be damned, I need a minute

It's hittin' me way differently

This is a dream, I need a minute

Yeah, in my Morrocan room

Fuckin' a Morrocan who

Probably wouldn't fuck if I was stuck still stockin' shoes

Oh what a life, after show, arena, meet-ups

Overseas, Germany, rappers gettin' beat up

Fly to the next on the jet, got my feet up

If you had a check, you would flex, you would be Russ

Rap game Jesus, stamped up, Visas

My house is a club, called, Liquor and Latinas

I used to catch trains (Yeah), now it's planes flyin'

Now I'm really stayin', now my chain diamond

I used to count changes, now it's eight-figure deals

And I spent about a million on the wheels (Yeah)

I can't believe what I've achieved

I can't be damned, I need a minute

It's hittin' me way differently

This is a dream, I need a minute (Yeah)
