[English]

Straight off the rip, you know I don't wait for the drop (Off the rip)

I go out to eat with my kids and my mama, you know I ain't datin' no thot (Okay, let's go)

Believe what you see, nigga.

I can't name a rapper that's out here and breathin' that's fuckin' with me, nigga.

I'm taking they hoes, Forces, Adidas pants and a tee, nigga (what the fuck?)

They like how? That don't even match.

Okay, hold on, take my phone, baby.

Let's go.

I'm just a lil' nigga from Charlotte, the biggest new artist (The four)

They wanna see me up the road, but my lawyer a fool with dismissin' the charges (Hah)

You know BDB ENT, we gon' pull up Infinitis, Challengers, Chargers (Okay)

And no, we don't gotta get money with you.

Bitch, we gon' get money regardless (huh)

I'ma let you do all of the talkin' Don't get me started, you know I'ma stop it (go 'head and talk)

And I don't got a cent for a ho.

She bringin' up money, I'm changin' the topic (huh, huh)

She need to be talkin' 'bout suckin' some dick.

I nut in her mouth and she gargle (ew, ew)

If she spit out that rich nigga shit without swallowin' Me and her havin' some problems (bitch)

We havin' revolvers strictly for murder and plenty of pistols and choppers (clack, clack)

Ayy, when you gon' stop?

Whenever the fat lady sing, I don't listen to opera (ooh, ooh)

You know how I give it up.

Fuck around, fucked up my hand, beat a nigga up.

Pull off on a nigga like vroom.

He don't got a car, he still catchin' the city bus (hah)

His baby mama unemployed.

So she in the club with her ass and her titties out (uh, uh, uh, uh)

And we done robbed so many plugs

You better check and go ask 'round my city 'bout it.

Had to slide a nigga, bitch a dub.

Wanted to fuck me, but I only hit him out.

Take the palm of my hand.

Slap me a nigga, got somethin' to say, make 'em spit it out.

You know I'm 'bout, baby.

All the shit these niggas rappin' 'bout, that nigga really 'bout it.

And know I ain't takin' advice from a nigga.

I'm cool on that, I got it figured out.

These niggas be cryin' 'bout petty shit.

I can't relate, because I took a bigger loss.

These niggas know I been a boss.

Ever since Rick Ross was the biggest boss.

Got diamonds all over my teeth.

I been eatin' chicken, I need me some dental floss.

Put my watch in the air.

It's no longer hot.

You can go turn that condition off.

I'm hittin' this ho on the low.

She fuckin' me hard, she said that her nigga soft.

Why you talkin' so loud?

If a nigga find out and he try me, I'm knockin' a nigga off.

I'm ridin' past twelve.

Fly too fast as hell, flickin' a nigga off.

I'm revvin' the gas.

Burnin' out on niggas' ass, I'm showin' my engine off.

And that's just how the fuck I get down, man, you know I just be playin' sometimes.

Like right now, like, I'm just fuckin' 'round, you know.

Me and kid, you know, we up in the penthouse, you know, kickin' shit.

And, uh, I'm still the best rapper.

Straight off the rip, you know I don't wait for the drop (Off the rip)

I go out to eat with my kids and my mama, you know I ain't datin' no thot (Okay, let's go)

Believe what you see, nigga.

I can't name a rapper that's out here and breathin' that's fuckin' with me, nigga.
