Pistachios – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

If we make love tonight

Will it change us for the rest of our lives?

If we make love tonight

For the very first time

If we make love tonight

Same city, same hoes, can't move sour

At this hour, it's 4:00 a.m. with you, now, what?

(It's 'bout to go down) Yeah

You left your crew, now, what? (It's 'bout to go down)

Shorty, what you wanna do?

This my hood you already know, can't move sour

He ain't try to rob me, he just thought it

But he shouldn't even started, now that boy a target

Nigga, is you retarded?

Half a milli' on my right

One of my cribs like 3.5

I'm only there sometimes when I'm on that side

Weather like minus 50 on my pinky (it's cold)

It's like minus 80 on my lady (she froze)

That's minor shit when you a major (you know)

I design the shit, I make the labels

NUWO on my body, Illimatado start the party

With you she being guarded, with me, she gettin' naughty

Ride it like a Harley, see them eyes gettin' starry

Lookin' like you want it, flick it, it last longer

Same city, same hoes, can't move sour

At this hour, it's 4:00 a.m. with you, now, what?

(It's 'bout to go down) Yeah

you left your crew, now, what? (It's 'bout to go down)

Shorty, what you wanna do?

This my hood you already know, can't move sour

He ain't try to rob me, he just thought it

But he shouldn't even started, now that boy a target

Nigga, is you retarded?

(Don't sweat, don't run)

Weather like minus 50 on my pinky (it's cold)

It's like minus 80 on my lady (she froze)

That's minor shit when you a major (you know)

I design the shit, I make the labels

NUWO on my body, Illimatado start the party

With you she being guarded, with me, she gettin' naughty

Ride it like a Harley, see them eyes gettin' starry

Lookin' like you want it, flick it, it last longer
