[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
