[English]

Your head's in all my pillows so I sleep (So I sleep)

And I'm dreamin' of you with the roses on my feet (On my feet)

I'm obsessed with you in a way I can't believe

When you wipe your tears, do you wipe them just for me?

I hope a trap boy's your type (Why?)

'Cause I don't have a nine-to-five (Alright)

I get that your standard's high

But I'm not a random guy, I'm different (Literally)

When I write my rhymes, you say you don't like that line, I'll switch it (Calm)

You said you don't like my life, you said you don't like my guys, you're trippin' (You're trippin')

I followed you today, I was in my car (Alright)

I wanted to come see you from afar

If you turn your back, you told me I would die

But you know I can't, so I'm not gonna try

When you wipe your tears, do you wipe them just for me?

That one is she photogenic? (Alright)

Instagram got a lot of impressions

She think I'm a G and I don't need love, but I need some thug affection

If I fell off tomorrow, would you still love me? Man, I got twenty-one questions

In the trap with the cats, she domestic, she doin' lashes, somethin' cosmetic

They shot their shot, she read it, they slid in her DMs with somethin' generic

She don't even like goin' out, got a new outfit, but nowhere to wear it (Alright)

She think that I'll be disloyal when I'm in the street with a couple of killies

You ain't gotta worry 'bout none of these hoes, I'm grown, I'm done with these bitches (Done with these bitches)
