[English]

Yeah (Yeah, yeah)

Blame it on Monsta

Hey, 20 racks a lot of money if you never had (Never had shit)

And 50 racks make a street nigga live lavish (Yea feel)

100 racks off in the street above average (Owe)

Quarter to a Mil make you feel like nigga you been trappin'

10 racks have them in your business trying to rap

5 racks nigga hold a grind with a passion

2 to 3 racks nigga still ready for that action

Say there is level to this money in the streets to make it happen

I was 18 with a 20 ball, you can push it off when the hood involved

Had a bad bitch that looked good and all

Stop a lot, put it in your draws

You ain't gotta ask, we cook the sauce

Had the quarter pound for a good amount

Say every week we flew out of town

We was coming back with a lot of pounds

I swear to god I had a lot of pounds

Meet up at the spot and we gona break it down

This juice here you can't drink it man

When I twist the top it start stakin man

Like what the fuck the niggas thinking now

Shit sky high what they making now

The alphabet boys come and shake you down

Streets fucked up when they shake you down

Perlack on 24" new laptop with the baggin

.38 with the duct tape

Had a date plate with the gang in

Push in the truck with windows up

Got a lot of drugs and my fame been in

I swear to god we ain't the same pimppin

Ask about Yella I had a name pimppin

Hey, 20 racks a lot of money if you never had (Never had shit)

And 50 racks make a street nigga live lavish (Yea feel)

100 racks off in the street above average (Owe)

Quarter to a Mil make you feel like nigga you been trappin'

10 racks have them in your business trying to rap

5 racks nigga hold a grind with a passion

2 to 3 racks nigga still ready for that action

Say there is level to this money in the streets to make it happen

I had a bus, get it in your heart

I had 50 most, get that onion sauce

You can hit the block and get a ounce

You can break it down and sell some ground

We was having corn but we was slagging reggie

I was still getting boats for 150

Come to my hood, ask for Freddy

Everybody know about scary Freddy

Used to like the work really just the bag

Used to get it cheap from my step-daddy

Get it from the hood when he didn't have it

I'm a dope boy the streets been my daddy

Open a house with some gas in it

We was having money but the bag was different

Remember times when I was asking niggas

When I had the whip with no transmission

Back then I steal something

I'm the same nigga still kill someone

All day face something, nigga having paper still taking some

200 thousand tucked in the wall

Can't shake my dog, that's against the law

I ball hard nigga, I want the sauce, I'm gonna ball till the day I fall

Hey, 20 racks a lot of money if you never had (Never had shit)

And 50 racks make a street nigga live lavish (Yea feel)

100 racks off in the street above average (Owe)

Quarter to a Mil make you feel like nigga you been trappin'

10 racks have them in your business trying to rap

5 racks nigga hold a grind with a passion

2 to 3 racks nigga still ready for that action

Say there is level to this money in the streets to make it happen

I paid 350 for a .35, serving 3 to 5, count them 35

Had the gangster G, that was certified

When and got a stank and got my turning wild

Everyday I was flipping something

Been on corners trying to get something

These hoes trying to put my dick in something

Started selling wax and tripled my money

Going back and fourth flipping hundreds

It seemed like this shit was sticking on me

I swear my little bitch started trippin on me

Posted in the jungle with the pistol on me

Everyday I am trying to get the money

And everyday I got to keep it on me

Nigga turned up and bitches leeching on me

Push start the car and keep it running

I am going to break the scene when people coming

We seen nothing, Stevie Wonder

I can make it rain because I keep the thunder

Nigga keep it real, we believe the hommie

Want to make a nigga see Jesus hommie

Yella ain't about that beefing hommie

Hustle up and ain't no leeching hommie

Pussy ass nigga been leeching hommie

Hey, 20 racks a lot of money if you never had (Never had shit)

And 50 racks make a street nigga live lavish (Yea feel)

100 racks off in the street above average (Owe)

Quarter to a Mil make you feel like you been trappin'

10 racks have them in your business trying to rap

5 racks hold a grind with a passion

2 to 3 racks still ready for that action

Say there is level to this money in the streets to make it happen
