[English]

Niggas told me "get on that drill shit"
I said "aight", respectfully
I'm off the 'yac, got a lot on my mind (Got a lot on my mind)
Time is money and if you don't get it
You wastin' my time (Wastin' my time)
After I fuck, she tryna cuff, bitch, you out of line (Get out of here)
Blowin' my phone up
Callin' me cryin', get off my line (Get outta here)
'Cause I am a demon, long as I'm breathin'
Don't want your heart, you can keep it (Keep that)
Bitches'll tell you they love you, they schemin'
Cappin', don't even mean it (They don't even mean it)
But I don't believе it, all of them treeshes
That's why I just fuck it and leavе 'em (Uh-huh)
I just stay loyal to money and music
And all of the guys that I be with (gang)
But back to the real
Just bought me a 'Vette and still ain't signed to a deal (Skrrt)
Niggas be signed and broke, damn
Can't even get out of your deal (Stupid)
I'm paranoid, one hand on my gun
The other hand on the wheel (I got it)
Don't like how he movin'
Tell him to chill, my hitta ready to kill (He poppin')
So stop all that tough shit, black
You only act off a pill (You only act)
When I hit the bros up, niggas is sober, ready to drill (Grr)
No, I don't have to, but if I have to, fuck it, I will (I will)
And all of them niggas
You see me with then (Uh-huh)
You see me with still (You see me with still)
The queen of my city (Huh?)
I am a big deal (Brooklyn)
It's RedLyfe for life
But I fuck with the 'Rips still (Huh?)
Glock on my hip still (Okay)
But when it come to this rap shit
