[English]

I'm the only star, I should've left ’em 'fore they fall

Put in so much work, I check in like a 9 to 5

They protectin' shit, I’m feelin' how I do in love

I can't even lie, I think I was really high

Rolex on a wrist watch, bitch, I'm Chris Rock

And these niggas always hating me, but they binge watch

I should have a show on Netflix that they friends watch

Copped the dealer, now we're reckless

I'm a big boss like I'm Rick Ross

Yeah, man

You niggas already know what the fuck going on, man.

I'm lying.

Apollo 21, you fuck niggas better catch up, man.

This shit over, this shit is over.

You on me?

Huh?

You on me?

Oh my bad, I'm sorry, sorry.

I'm sorry.

You comfortable?

I mean, if you just stop moving.

I'm sorry.

It's about to see.

Mm-mm.
