(Yeah)

Got them racks, ice attack (Bling)

You want beef? (Okay) Ratta-ta (Okay)

I fell back (Okay), now I'm back (Okay)

Flooded watch, drop top (Skrrt)

Fuck 12, fuck the opps (Okay)

Wrist broke (Whip, whip) in the pot

Selling rocks (Okay), on the block (Okay)

Put up guap, sending shots

At your top (Okay), fuck you thought? (Okay)

Fucking thots, watch 'em flock

Off-white seats (Okay), Off-white socks (Okay)

1800 for a pair of jeans, that's okay

I got money, I give all my shooters good pay

Headshot with a infrared beam from far away

Long as it don't come back to me, I think it's okay

Got them racks, ice attack (Bling)

You want beef? (Okay) Ratta-ta (Okay)

When you gone, smoke your pack

We the wrong niggas to run to, put cake in a funnel

Lil' bitch fuck for the bundle

Put a Glock in the console, yeah

Why the bitch wanna say my name on the gram?

Ho, relax (Ho, relax)

I beat my gun case

Three, four times, can't hold me back (Rrra)

And you can never hang around if you owe me racks

(If you owe me racks)

And I'm not talkin' about navigation

I'm with NAV (And I'm with NAV)

And I was hangin' in Chiraq, dope on the ave (Gang)

And if you sliding with them killers, grab that mask (Turn up)

And she be driving on the road, coke in her ass (Yeah)

And that first time robbing the plug

Trackhawk 2018, do the dash (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)

Ain't give no money so he try to put me on blast, yeah

Got them racks, ice attack (Bling)

You want beef? (Okay) Ratta-ta (Okay)

When you gone (Okay), smoke your pack (Okay)

I fell back (Okay), now I'm back (Okay)
