[English]

Essence, oh, it's bringing me joy (it's bringing me joy)

With each new blessing that I receive

We'll roll, point out my wrong

I fall out so my bros aren't fit in no more

The streets cold, but the graves colder

Or maybe I'm just not the same person to me no more

Do you love me how you said you do?

She wrote back, hell no

They think I'm through off

I'm just done with do or die, fuck

I told them leave this beef to us

You live yours

Bands won't let me die, though

'Cause we both grow, we still slide, though

Some say I'm bitch

Some say I did not

Police know our faces

They say G.O. front, I'm choppin'

They say, look, go, you can't fool us

We gon' grab you for your roster

All them bodies you had caught

In all these death dates, you the problem

I say, tell him, leave me alone

Then I fuck with nobody

I got cash, money, drugs, and ammunition round my body

And my bitch losin' her man

The wind was too strong when I caught it

You say, diamonds dense, brought it

You say, matcha bins, brought it

You say, I want land, brought it

Them pussies, my man, awesome

Passion, wanna get married, she say ice my hands, frosty

Quandary flush over me, they force my hands off

She ran to NYC to chase her dreams, and then she lost

We'll roll, point out my wrong

I fall out so my bros aren't fit in no more

The streets cold, but the graves colder

Or maybe I'm just not the same person to me no more

Do you love me how you said you do?

She wrote back, hell no

They think I'm through off

I'm just done with do or die, fuck

I told them leave this beef to us

You live yours

Bands won't let me die, though

'Cause we both grow, we still slide, though

Some cut off for good

They couldn't get with this shit I serve

I step on my own

Often I'm cursed with my blood work

I got no one I can lean on, that's why I shout out free swear

I got myself, I don't expect no love from them

'Cause I got courage

Hawks ain't me and you gon' shine

I told them soon, just mark my words

I done been put up to all that shit

And it never could hurt me 'cause I had learned

You don't wanna get them around for they money

I could be stung 'cause it's my turn

Fuck that, show them we not equals

Evil soul, a bitch not burned

I got blood under my nail

My eyes gettin' nailed, this shit confirmed

I got blood under my rails, bro, what the hell?

That shit confirmed

I be fucked up, you can tell my man to take four on turn

I'ma just do everything that I need to

'Cause they'll leave you if you don't earn

We'll roll, point out my wrong

I fall out so my bros aren't fit in no more

The streets cold, but the graves colder

Or maybe I'm just not the same person to me no more

Do you love me how you said you do?

She wrote back, hell no

They think I'm through off

I'm just done with do or die, fuck

I told them leave this beef to us

You live yours

Bands won't let me die, though

'Cause we both grow, we still slide, though

I'm receiving (I'm receiving)

Oh, and it's bringing me joy (it's bringing me joy)

Let me die though
