[English]

Since day one when he came up

I taught him everything I had to tear the game up

What we went through it was a shame but

We back at it now doing all the same stuff, being us

When I left I heard all the words and the lil birds

In the background saying how he gon act now?

Being stubborn little homie couldn't back down

But I'm back now, and we back around

Killing all the daughters and they mama along with em

Little homie so crazy and it's stay tryin to split em

Stay with his shirt off, gang of tattoos

All the homies like, niggas he act just like you

Jermaine it's true, I do, I ain't even gon front

Tryna hit it out the park, but these other niggas blunt

Roll up like a bitch, straight stuntin on these niggas like

You like JD when I was just a kid

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

Come on that Obama no drama

All about that dough

In with the new and out with the old

Stay making it and keeping the people wanting more

And for L I F E W E SO SO

So cold like a winter night in chi town

You know you ain't hot homie, pipe down

See the label done, got a nigga hype,

Stop running round liein bout your motherfuckin life clown

Cause the real don't do that

I be looking at em like ew who do that?

Kids don't feel that

But you wouldn't know cause you're getting too old and slow

Steadin poppin when you're barely going go (woaw)

Same lambo same bent different colour

More like my son and just my little brother

See I had to let him go

Just so he could really know

You never know what you got til it's gone, welcome home

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

Ok, same lambo, same bent different colour

More like a dad and just a big brother

We ain't always gonna agree

And see eye to eye

But for me when it come to him I'm straight do or die

I couldn't have said it better cause I feel the same

It's just some things that ain't never supposed to change

Like when Nicky Bournes switched the name on the blue magic

For no reason, when it fucked up a good baggage

You don't need a ring less you got a team of niggas round you

That will hold you down and run with you around

Through the thick in the thin when the work ain't comin in

You know the ups and the downs that we all go through

The moral of the story is

Don't let the kids come through and separate this

This being one of the realest and the greatest

Relationship between two friends, I'm talkin true friends

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

They say we talk just alike

Walk just alike

Same damn swagger when we roc up on the mic

All the girls like we can get it

And all my niggas hands up let me know that your with it

I remember when I was just a lil boy

u know what I'm saying when

I first started coming to the atlanta you know.

Jd use to have all the hottest whips and shit.

I use to be like you know when I sell my first million.

I'm'a buy all these shits man all the girls you talking to man

I'm'a smash all them girls when I get older you know what I'm saying.

Jd I know you remember that and I did it!... (laughs)

So so def for life you know what it is...

Yeeeaaaaa...
