[English]

I like shining, you be lying

I be grinding, you waste time

Know you wanna roll with me

Cause you know I put it down

When I show up I’m the one and only

no no no

Yeah pull up in the jag

haters gone be mad

I be walking with the cheese that’s that Queso

Diamonds drippin’ better bring your rain coat

I got them racks on me

I brought the whole lit team with me

I might pull up in a spaceship

Hop out it don’t look like I live here

And now we in a “Zone”

Stand too close might catch a cold

Crib came with a gate and a code

Yeah yeah drippin water faucet

VVS my diamonds I don't need no light to shine

Iced out both my wrists now I can barely see the time

I just made a million and I’m still not satisfied,

Cause I need that bag on the regular

I spend a bag on the regular

We make the world go

My bank account go

We make the world go

Dinero, peso, yen, Lo Quiero I want in

I am too rich to compete

so don’t compare them to me

We are not the same, only one of me

Hopped out the coupe the sky is the roof,

my whole team ball,

We never lose,

hundreds all blue,

we do what we do

Hopping out casket fresh,

looking like a fashion show

Diamonds all on my neck,

looking like a water show

She gone bust it bust it bust it

for a real one

We gone bring out the cars

one way no stop to the stars

Crew fly, Dubai,

no it ain’t two sides, too high,

one way to mars

You better watch yourself I did it all by myself

And now we in a “Zone”

Stand too close might catch a cold

Crib came with a gate and a code

Yeah yeah drippin water faucet

VVS my diamonds I don't need no light to shine

Iced out both my wrists now I can barely see the time

I just made a million and I’m still not satisfied,

Cause I need that bag on the regular

I spend a bag on the regular

We make the world go

My bank account go

We make the world go

Dinero, peso, yen, Lo Quiero I want in

Multi-colored diamonds like a rainbow

PLR your eyes 번쩍 눈이 부셔

(your brain go)

자체발광 We flash,

주체 안돼 Let’s dance

This is real,

this is a regular move

머리 어깨 무릎 발 무릎 발 let’s get bounce

Run it up Run it up Run it up

No competition in front of us

We got the wave, we gettin’ paid

VVS my diamonds I don't need no light to shine

Iced out both my wrists now I can barely see the time

I just made millions of it but I’m still not satisfied,

Cause I need that bag on the regular

I spend a bag on the regular

We make the world go

My bank account go

We make the world go

Dinero, peso, yen, Lo Quiero I want in
