[English]

Yeah, I pull up to my town with a price on my head

I pull up to my town, I'm outside

They wanna see me drown, it's on sight's what they said

I heard these niggas want to take my life

I don't apologize, I would die for this shit

I don't apologize, I don't hide

I'm Kubrick with the shine, got the ice on my neck

They wanna throw a bag on him

Price on my head, got a price on my head

Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

Price on my head, got a price on my head (Price on my head)

Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (Knife by my bed)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead (When I'm dead)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

I cut off all my side hoes, in du Cap with a dime though

All these girls been ran through, on the low real snipe mode

I can't sleep, that's insomnia, so much ice, like I'm Tonya

All my boys livin' debt free, it's a squad like Wesley

I want head on a jet ski, she gave me head for a Fendi

For a Prada, she got sexy, for a Lambo or a Bentley

My mansion is no joke, house party like ONE OAK

Weed louder than gun smoke, get high off one toke

You beefin' with yourself, tell the truth

Niggas on your side, they would ride for me too

Still wasting they time, tryna come for me too

I'm too busy, faded in Japan with the crew

With the crew, with the crew, with the crew

Shout out all the girls who've been riding for me too

Niggas want me dead, I've been dead, nothing new

Niggas want me dead, for a bag and a

Price on my head, got a price on my head (Price on my head)

Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (Knife by my bed)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

They tried to get me and they missed, if we send shots then they gon' hit

I could get your top taken off for less than a quarter brick (Yeah)

One of my rings could get him off, we'll check him off the list

My shooter a codeine addict, he'll do it for a pint of Actavis

Since I met Cash, got a lot of racks, I still want more (Racks)

I can tell by the way you carry yourself, you never sold no dope (Dope)

Growin' up, my mama beat my ass then cleaned my mouth with soap (Soap)

Now she showin' up to work in a Balenciaga coat

Price on my head, got your life 'round my neck

Put a brown kid in the Southside, racks and me is what you'll get

My block was like the car wash, you drive in, you gon' get wet

Had take a lot of losses, made me comfortable with death (Death)

Took too much Act', had to pop a Xan to reset

His bitch gave me some top, and now he wanna send me threats

Live my best life, I know my opps just wanna see me dead

Took his life, I paid him double what they put on my head

Price on my head, got a price on my head (Price on my head)

Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (Knife by my bed)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead (When I'm dead)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

Price on my head, got a price on my head (Price on my head)

Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (Knife by my bed)

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
