[English]

They don't like me better when I'm talking my shit, you know that

Get lost with your bitch, got gloss on her lips

Got gloss on my dick, wipe it off and watch all that spit

Bitch, I'm a pretty boy like Belair, I like a bitch with red hair

But only if she bad though, 'cause I done got bougie

And any nigga touch me, catch a body like booty

Try me, I'm shooting, no back and forth, just up and them blowing

Say my prayers and grab my iron when I wake up in the morning

And I ain't got time to worry about your feelings now, I'm work for millions

Through the fake shit, I stayed down, stayed on my grind, and I'm still here

When I think about the times that they was lying, and I was real

When I cried, but ain't no tears, when I cried, but ain't no tears

And I ain't got time to worry about your feelings now, I'm work for millions

Through the fake shit, I stayed down, stayed on my grind, and I'm still here

When I think about the times that they was lying, and I was real

When I cried, but ain't no tears, when I cried, but ain't no tears

I've been through enough pain, I understand the fame real

Why they dying, ain't real, I held it down through the pain

You ain't here for me, shit, you ain't here, I held it down in the rain

I got out that shit by my lonely, remember I lost everything

Trying to make everything happy, breaking the bread with the family

I wonder who wanna see me happy, I had a dream I'ma hop out a G-Wagon

I work my move, I'm doing me, I keep my cool, I'm cool with me

F*ck them chains and jewelry, feel the same if you used me

And I ain't got time to worry about your feelings now, I'm work for millions

Through the fake shit, I stayed down, stayed on my grind, and I'm still here

When I think about the times that they was lying, and I was real

When I cried, but ain't no tears, when I cried, but ain't no tears

And I ain't got time to worry about your feelings now, I'm work for millions

Through the fake shit, I stayed down, stayed on my grind, and I'm still here

When I think about the times that they was lying, and I was real

When I cried, but ain't no tears, when I cried, but ain't no tears

You just a motherfucker hater

I'm chasing motherfucking cake, I had to go pick up some paper

I just got some head at the bank

They asked me how do I want it? I told them I fit it in hundreds

They plus that he won't get a loan, and give it to me and my brother

So I went and bought a new phone, and I told the nigga to run it

Then they picked them up on a Wednesday, he was gonna order a sunday

You know the way they go, still make a play on the bow

You don't want to stay, you can go, that's what I say to a ho

And I ain't got time to worry about your feelings now, I'm work for millions

Through the fake shit, I stayed down, stayed on my grind, and I'm still here

When I think about the times that they was lying, and I was real

When I cried, but ain't no tears, when I cried, but ain't no tears
