I'm in Atlanta, I'm in Southside with a bitch who don't do this often

I'm fuckin' this bitch at 3:16 a.m., I feel like Steve Austin

No, we don't give a fuck, bitch, we don't give a damn, my niggas be bossin'

My young niggas pullin' up with sticks, shootin' out the Lamb', don't care what it cost

My young bitch just pulled up in Rick Owen, I don't give a damn, told her, "Take it off"

Every time you see me, I'ma blick, I don't give a damn

I'ma fuck your bitch, I don't give a damn

Yeah, I love that lil' ho 'cause she so damn evil

Lil' bitch, I'm high, I'm not eatin'

Slide on that boy with that Glock with that beam

Knock his lights out, yeah, nigga, good evenin'

I need more cups, bitch, yeah, we pourin' up lean

Okay, she bad, she a teaser

But I get stiff on that ho, and she say that I'm mean

I spent 400 all on my tees

It's Rick on my shoes and my motherfuckin' jeans now

And she say that she wanna get geeked

I told that lil' ho to go to pop that lil' bean, shawty

I get fly, smokin' exotic narcotics

Hit that bitch in the back of the big body

He talk down on the gang, he get did 'bout it (pew, pfft, pew, pew)

I'm pourin' this lean up

I got X and I'm Promethazine'd up

My bitch bad and she pour my codeine up

I just smash when I want, I don't need her

Put my opp in a coffin, yeah (skrrt)

Opp blunt got me coughin', yeah (yeah)

If it ain't nothin', I got diamonds, I got guns (yeah)

I got bitches tryna have fun

Pull out the K and I go dumb (dumb)

I pull out the Wraith, me and my son

Stop playin' with the set, I'll get yo' ass done

Have you laid in the dirt, you don't need a GoFund

Pink slip on me, don't need coupon

He slipped, he ran, he tried to run

Young Carti get rowdy with the gun

I bust a jugg once a month

She throw it back, I make her jump (let's, let's go)

X, yeah, lil' Carti

I'm pourin' this lean up

I got X and I'm Promethazine'd up

My bitch bad and she pour my codeine up (hahahahaha)

I just smash when I want, I don't need her

Yeah, do the dash, bitch, I'm off of the meter (opium niggas)

Yeah, do the dash, bitch, I'm off of the meter

Yeah, do the dash, bitch, I'm off of the meter
