[English]

And the price what it is, nigga, I ain't goin' back and forth 'bout my price

'Less you coppin' big (The University)

Biggest Boss, nigga

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, shit set in stone

Goin' back and forth on my price, it what it is

Goin' back and forth on my price 'less you coppin' big (coppin' big)

Nigga, gotta cop somethin'

Laws pulled me over with the load, that ain't stop nothin'

Never leave no work at the house, in case the cops comin'

We just did the deal with CMG, nigga, we still active

A hunnid 'bows in, hunnid 'bows out, nigga, we still

Nigga, we still trappin'

Nigga, we know yo' diamonds moissanite, nigga, you still cappin'

Nigga, I'm on the stage with my FNs, get a box gone

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, nigga, it's set in stone

Zillionaire boys in attendance, see them gold bottles

She used to get trains ran on her, now she a whole model

Just 'cause a bitch look good, I ain't fallin' for it

Chinese, Armenians, love us, e'rybody know it

Youngest Boss, nigga, and I'm big Doe

I'ma let you treat like a queen, she just my throat goat

Nigga, when you really plugged in, hard to call it quits

In the club, I just hold my wrist up, you see the diamonds hit

In the club, I just hold my wrist up, you see the diamonds hit

Youngest Boss, nigga, yeah, I'm Big Doe

She gon' hold all the pounds at her spot, nigga, that's Doe ho

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, shit set in stone

Goin' back and forth on my price, it what it is

Goin' back and forth on my price 'less you coppin' big (I ain't goin' back and forth on my price)

Nigga, gotta cop somethin'

Laws pulled me over with the load, that ain't stop nothin'

Never leave no work at the house, in case the cops comin'

We just did the deal with CMG, nigga, we still active

A hunnid 'bows in, hunnid 'bows out, nigga, we still

Nigga, we still trappin'

Nigga, we know yo' diamonds moissanite, nigga, you still cappin'

Nigga, I'm on the stage with my FNs, get a box gone

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, nigga, it's set in stone (it's set in stone)

E'rywhere you go, they screamin', "New D"

Nigga, we paid strippers rent for months when we walk in DG's

Now I got a problem, e'ry song I'm rappin' 'bout LV's

Pounds get you rich, tryna get rich, nigga, sell some weed

Diamond hittin' hard when I'm on stage

Jumped in the streets and got some money at a young age

Try to reach for somethin', bro'll hit you with a 12 gauge

Middle fingers to the haters, ball on 'em, nigga, get paid

She fallin' for the boy, know I'm the Doe man

All these pounds a nigga moved today, got me sore, man

She ain't wanna follow a nigga orders, so I fucked her friend

South Dallas what I represent, nigga, this Doe Land

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, shit set in stone

Goin' back and forth on my price, it what it is

Goin' back and forth on my price 'less you coppin' big (I ain't goin' back and forth on my price)

Nigga, gotta cop somethin'

Laws pulled me over with the load, that ain't stop nothin'

Never leave no work at the house, in case the cops comin'

We just did the deal with CMG, nigga, we still active

A hunnid 'bows in, hunnid 'bows out, nigga, we still

Nigga, we still trappin'

Nigga, we know yo' diamonds moissanite, nigga, you still cappin'

Nigga, I'm on the stage with my FNs, get a box gone

I ain't goin' back and forth on my price, nigga, it's set in stone (it's set in stone)
