[English]

Drinking to keep from thinking

Pills so I don't remember

Smoking like it's a ritual

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

(1,008 grams, that's a key)

Drinking to keep from thinking

(Put it on the boat overseas)

Pills so I don't remember

(do it for the fam, everybody eat)

Smoking like it's a ritual

(if you not a boss we could never speak)

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

Took her to the Cabos

Smokin' on Gelato

This good mota

I won't tell you nothin'

Ain't gon' talk about it

Don't pull me over

Wrist bipolar

My neck is frozen

Porsche, a million dollars

Poppin' all the bottles

Everybody poured up

28 grams of the stinkiest weed

Ultraviolet light, the buds shine in the jars

I haven't slept in 72 hours, that's just how it is

Bring the tray, I've got the Puffco and the diamonds are plenty

(1,008 grams, that's a key)

Drinking to keep from thinking

Pills so I don't remember

Smoking like it's a ritual

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

(Thousand in gram, that's a key)

Drinking to keep from thinking

(Put it on the boat overseas)

Pills so I don't remember

(do it for the fam, everybody eat)

Smoking like it's a ritual

(if you not a boss we could never speak)

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

I had to lose family

I had to make money

Don't be fooled by appearances

You think I have everything I want

Because sometimes I celebrate

And you see me in a new shirt and pants

From the North, I can't be beat (Nawf!)

Tryna go for the dinero (Go!)

I got angels watching me (Me)

But trappin' is the devil (Trap!)

It chose me

Bando it chose me

Dope on my Rollie

Lambo creep-crawling

Drinking to keep from thinking

Pills so I don't remember

Smoking like it's a ritual

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

(1,008 grams, that's a key)

Drinking to keep from thinking

(Put it on the boat overseas)

Smoking like it's a ritual

(if you not a boss we could never speak)

And the white powder so I don't go to sleep

Luz ultravioleta, se brillan las ramas en las bodegonas

72 horas tengo sin dormirme y es que así es la cosa

Traigan el tapete que traigo la puffco y los diamantes sobran

Tryna go for the dinero (Go!)

I got angels watching me (Me)
