[English]

Yeah, I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou

Started fuckin' bad bitches, I went running wild (gone)

I just pray Papi forgive me, ain't seen my son a while (I pray)

I go and pick him up from school to see him fucking smile (facts)

Somebody save me, save me

Tryna please a bitch, it almost drove me crazy

I was breakin' bread with niggas that was shady

I said I would never change but shit it changed me

Somebody save me, save me

23 and one, it almost drove me crazy

In a cell all alone, can't let it phase me

I just wanna make it home to see my baby

I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou

Bustin' choppers, sellin' dope, I went to runnin' wild (go)

Threw a drum up in my forty, shoot a hundred times (brrr)

Two hundred thou my cousin's case to see his daughter smile

Somebody save me, save me

All this lean and all these percs gon drive me crazy

I see niggas switchin' sides like they KD

I can't let it kill my vibe 'cause I'm too wavy

This what I wanted, I'ma own it (own it)

Anything I ever said I'm standing on it (on it)

Got my dog in the feds, he turned informant (feds)

I just pray that he don't say some shit to harm us

I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou

Started fuckin' bad bitches, I went running wild (gone)

I just pray Papi forgive me, ain't seen my son a while (I pray)

I go and pick him up from school to see him fucking smile (facts)

Somebody save me, save me

Tryna please a bitch, it almost drove me crazy

I was breakin' bread with niggas that was shady

I said I would never change but shit it changed me

Somebody save me, save me

23 and one, it almost drove me crazy

In a cell all alone, can't let it phase me

I just wanna make it home to see my baby

One time my dog tried to lie me, must've lost his mind

When he know how we get down when niggas cross the line

And I hate to be the one that gotta call his mom

That money mix up with that greed, it happen all the time

If I can't trust you, it's fuck you (fuck)

Know that money ain't a thing, I tell 'em touch you (brrr)

Know them boys gon bust your brain, I push a button (facts)

To make it home to see me son, know I'm gon crush you

'Cause that's important, to keep it one hundred

I just wanna make it home to see my youngin' (Papi)

Move my family out the ghetto all I wanted

Left me dancing with the devil, chasing this money

Amen

I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou

Started fuckin' bad bitches, I went running wild (gone)

I just pray Papi forgive me, ain't seen my son a while (I pray)

I go and pick him up from school to see him fucking smile (facts)

Somebody save me, save me

Tryna please a bitch, it almost drove me crazy

I was breakin' bread with niggas that was shady

I said I would never change but shit it changed me

Somebody save me, save me

23 and one, it almost drove me crazy

In a cell all alone, can't let it phase me

I just wanna make it home to see my baby

And I'm so tired of makin' moves and gotta keep the tool (keep the tool)

Gotta hide it from my son, I pick him up from school (pick him up from school)

With them papers with it, some would tell me I'm a fool (tell me I'm a fool)

But all these hating niggas wanna see me on the news (fuck)

And they debating on a nigga if I'm gon win or lose (win or lose)

'Bout this paper I seen real niggas forget the rules (seen)

And I can't trust these bitches, I know they gon pick and choose

No I can't trust these bitches, I know they gon pick and choose

Amen

I fell in love with these streets, I seen a hundred thou

Started fuckin' bad bitches, I went running wild (gone)

I just pray Papi forgive me, ain't seen my son a while (I pray)

I go and pick him up from school to see him fucking smile (facts)

Somebody save me, save me

Tryna please a bitch, it almost drove me crazy

I was breakin' bread with niggas that was shady

I said I would never change but shit it changed me

Somebody save me, save me

23 and one, it almost drove me crazy

In a cell all alone, can't let it phase me

I just wanna make it home to see my baby (to see my baby, to see my baby, to see my baby)
