[English]

And we gon get it like we should, okay?

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we livin real good

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

Black tee, Fendi jacket

See me stackin' see it's crackin'

Just imagine he ain't packin', that's a joke like he ain't maggin'

If the girl ain't tryna go, let her leave, don't need distraction

GLC remarkably, exercise pimp and tactics

They gave me easy access

But she need some assets, her friends informati

If I call a readers digest

All up on the Internet, they document my progress

Everything I do and say, macaroni and I guess

Havin' those gettin' close, was too close for comfort

It's difficult up in the go, when you got no sponsor

Tryna get my bank roll, bigger than Herman Munster

Paper stackin' up to the ceiling

What a feelin', it's so appealin'

And we gon get it like we should, okay?

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we livin real good

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And they said that my bitch look better than yours

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we gon be doin this forever

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

Now they gonna say that nigga B.I. on top of his B.I. business

Got signed like petitions, committed to commissions

I'm a get it 'til my chick got her pair of high heels

All my cribs on high heels, this is how I feel

On track on top of tracks

You can ask my nigga G.L., hop on tracks with me

F*ck around and get derailed

I come from where that cash is more important than the people

If there's prices on your head then you're gonna get retail

Come through in the spot, yeah

Bet they give me props like a broadway show

Man who them Broadwayin' for? Man who the D applaud for?

To keep goin', they pourin' supportin'

And that's why I do it for them, BI

And we gon get it like we should, okay?

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we livin real good

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And they said that my bitch look better than yours

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we gon be doin this forever

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

Hold up Sean, roll up some and let me talk

I mean crawl to get where I am, dog, now let me walk it out

All across every hood, all across the map, all across the globe

And I just need a thick model chick to come home to

Teach her how to work pro tools, have a record, my focus

Livin' good in South Beach, smokin' tree with the locals

F*ck you Mr. middle man, I'm so glad I cut you out

Now I'm about to show you what this stuntin' on them really 'bout

Show you what my city 'bout, even though I'm chillin' up in the shot

Clipping on my lap, we in West, niggas never die

We just hop on planes to change the time so let me set my G-Shock

Sean, tell 'em my state of mind

And we gon get it like we should, okay?

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we livin real good

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And they said that my bitch look better than yours

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay

And we gon be doin this forever

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
