[English]

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit certain, ain't none of this certain

Ain't none of us perfect, I hope it was worth it

Shoppin' in Paris

We gon' go shoppin' in Paris, nigga

They can't even compare us

They can't even compare us, we're rarer than niggas

Rarer than niggas

I never'd 'magine this shit comin'

This shit comin'

We swimmin' in money, we drownin' in hundreds

I keep a duffle bag on me like Tity Boi and Dolla

Bruh we ain't takin' that weed, oh no

And if they don't love me, fuck whatcha talkin' 'bout

I'm in love with the cash, I put that on my mama and father

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit certain, ain't none of this certain

Ain't none of us perfect, I hope it was worth it

Goin' to France

We gon' vacation in France, nigga

Advanced niggas

Can't nobody stop me, I'm past niggas

I'm past my limit

I'm drunk and I'm blowin' a whole lot of gas, nigga

Ten million in cash

Put up in a stash, it's under my mattress

I put the money in the ground like my nigga Frank Luke

Got a turbo Porsche and I don't even move it

I'm back on the green, it's so hard not to use it

I'm continuously winnin', my nigga, I can't see me losin'

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit certain, ain't none of this certain

Ain't none of us perfect, I hope it was worth it

Ain't none of this promised, ain't none of this promised

Ain't nothin' in life guaranteed, put that on my mama

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of it promised

Ain't none of this certain, not even one of us perfect

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of it promised

Ain't none of this shit, none of this shit, none of this

Ain't none of it promised

I love you, money, I love you, money

I'ma never put a nigga above this money

I'ma wake up and just hug this money

Yeah, yeah

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of this promised

Ain't none of this shit promised, ain't none of this

Ain't none of it promised

Promised
