Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Every time I turn around, I had a playa outside the door.

Calm for you, not, niggas calm for you, not.

Calm for you, I'll be chillin', I'm up.

My neighbors think I'm selling dope.

Baby, he don't want to be a player no more.

I was looking out the peephole.

Every time I turn around, I had a player outside the door.

Now a nigga going beast mode with it, I got 15 bears.

We ain't laying on the floor.

15 Bears

I done hit a lot of peepholes.

Niggas get safe.

Safe for you to say that I'm a hoe.

I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore.

I got money to bail out.

Won't put a hoe on bail out.

Drop the window, turn right, throw the scale out.

Fuck a meal, we on ride with no scale now.

We selling bitches, Lord.

We selling bitches, Lord.

I had a nigga knocking at my door, I used to have em for the low.

My neighbors think I'm selling dope.

Neighbors think I'm selling dope.

I had the AC on, yeah, when a young nigga had to burn it in his coke.

I hit a nigga with the fan.

I hit a nigga with the fan.

I can show you how to ride without a tool.

All them times I hit the middle man.

All them times I took a nigga off.

Nigga wanna be a boss.

But ain't got what it took to be a boss.

She didn't know what it took to be my bitch.

She didn't know what it took until I lost.

Baby, he don't want to be a player no more.

I was looking out the peephole.

Every time I turn around, I had a player outside the door.

Now a nigga going beast mode with it, I got 15 bears.

We ain't laying on the floor.

15 Bears

I done hit a lot of peepholes.

Niggas get safe.

Safe for you to say that I'm a hoe.

I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore.

I always be a pimp, I'm not a player.

I get it.

I might even have them bitches off my radar.

No kidding.

Kurt.

I'm always on the charts like I'm Durzy.

Dirt.

But if I get a shot like the wind's.

Can't wait to do the show when I'm in Dallas.

We be eating healthy, only though she made a salad.

I've been getting money on the low, it's hard to hide it.

My baby, like for me on the floor, I let her ride it.

It's all to top, I never make a song, I never write it.

I'm a Grammy nominated hit, make a lame nigga bitch take a fuck the police.

You yelling with a gun out, how the fuck we going to think?

You take my daughter daddy, how the fuck she going to eat?

I kill me a cop, what the fuck they going to think?

Probably hanging on a tree.

I'm dangerous, I keep a banger on me.

Got to drop down and pray before I sleep.

Lord.

Baby, he don't want to be a player no more.

I was looking out the peephole.

Every time I turn around, I had a player outside the door.

Now a nigga going beast mode with it, I got 15 bears.

We ain't laying on the floor.

15 Bears

I done hit a lot of peepholes.

Niggas get safe.

Safe for you to say that I'm a hoe.

I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore.

Baby, he don't want to be a player no more.

I was looking out the peephole.

Every time I turn around, I had a player outside the door.

Now a nigga going beast mode with it, I got 15 bears.

We ain't laying on the floor.

15 Bears

I done hit a lot of peepholes.

Niggas get safe.

Safe for you to say that I'm a hoe.

I'm out the game, I'm not a player anymore.
