[English]

Me brother get tied up in the streets, said 'em can't leave out

And if you can't bring the Glock 'round so, then 'em nah leave out (yeah)

More time a lone soldier, nah trust no one

If he ever see the pagan 'em, him turn evil (yeah)

Him say, "Me depressed, so Henny my medicine"

It's just me and my Remington

Pigs them want stick around like gelatin

Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa

Battyman, them nah take way your skeleton

Then skrrt up on the main like Hamilton

Road money make him fly like pelican, ooh, Lord, oh, Lord

Him tell me most high know

My family and me friend them

Most high know, you bring trouble, him gon' end 'em

Nightmares, no more dreams

He just don't believe, he just don't believe

Nightmares, no more dreams

He just don't believe, he just don't believe

Da-da, da-da, gunshot turn them in a goner

Killer them a travel pon a charter, fi go start war, ha-ha

A gunshot, we no love chat, have the clutch back

God say me no fi buss back, me say, "F- that"

AK with the pan drum in a the truck back

Ever have the K like school youth with a lunch bag

Most high know

My family and me friend them

Most high know, you bring trouble, him gon' end 'em

Nightmares, no more dreams

He just don't believe, he just don't believe

Nightmares, no more dreams

He just don't believe, he just don't believe

He just don't, oh, bang-bang, mm

Me say gang-gang, pussy boy, oh-oh-oh

Me say bang-bang
