[English]

Crud, muad

Know what I'm sayin'?

We don't do no motherfuckin' playin' 'round here

Know what I'm sayin'? We shake spots, get guap

Fuck thots, you know what it is, let's do it

Shake it, shake it, shake it, uh

Shake it come on, let's go, shake it, shake it, uh-huh

Shake it ayy, ayy, shake it, shake it, uh-huh

Ayy, ayy, ayy

I bet I shake, shake, shake, shake, come on

I bet I shake the room

His life, we take, take, take, we gon' make the news

Can't run from this .62

It's a walk down, better chalk 'em up

He was dissin', now he can't talk much

The gyaldem know I'm really like that

She's goin' on bad, she's throwin' it back

'Cause the sex was lit, she's doublin' back

And she loves diamonds, I'm covered in that

Colouring book, I'm covered in tats

Can't find that prick, I'm doublin' back

Two sticks in the ride, I'm doublin' that

From a teenager, I've been troublin' waps

Hey, mandem get hit with a fah-fah

Mandem get hit with a .45

I can see your cars comin' through both eyes

Killed him, left mama with teary eyes

Got fire in the booth like Charlie

Rollin' opp pack like Marley

Ride that beat like a Harley

She want my heart, I'm heartless

I'm runnin' it up

Off the Henny, I'm bruckin' it up

Catch me a pussy, I'm bustin' it up

She love bad man, feel safe with us

I love Ramz and CH like blood

Get man done if he's talkin' crud

G-M-D, guns, money, and drugs

1-1-4, make her fall in love

I bet I shake, shake, shake, shake, come on

I bet I shake the room

His life, we take, take, take, we gon' make the news

Can't run from this .62

It's a walk down, better chalk 'em up

He was dissin', now he can't talk much

The gyaldem know I'm really like that

She's goin' on bad, she's throwin' it back

'Cause the sex was lit, she's doublin' back

And she loves diamonds, I'm covered in that

Colouring book, I'm covered in tats

Can't find that prick, I'm doublin' back

Two sticks in the ride, I'm doublin' that

From a teenager, I've been troublin' waps

I'm presidential, we don't slide out rentals

We gon' switch the tags, then I'm out the window

We'll get messy if I walk up

I'm a real killer, I can learn ya somethin'

If I can't find 'em, we gon' stalk somethin'

Nah, for real nigga

Clip long, hold 30 shots, and this shit look like a dill pickle

Like Mandel, we deal with 'em

Keepin' KSI diamonds on you, that shit fugazi

Turned his main bitch to a sex slave, now that nigga hate me

Stomach shot, had that nigga screamin' out, oh, Lord, come save me

Closed casket, but the bullets burnt him up 'til he got cremated

We don't want no drama, beat the beat up, beat like it's Seviana

Gyal get mad, man kick on banana

60 degrees, she's hot like Sahara

Braziest handtings, soon catch one of them

Beg man, come again

Anywhere the pussydem, dump out, I'm runnin' then

True say, the treesh get stretched out the Cullinan

Shardie, NLE Choppa, my chargie

Wrist wet, got it swimmin' in the party

Killy, milli', love mash-up punani

Love nights like this like Kehlani

One call away if you're honest

She get freaky but she classy

Everyday here with my army

I bet I shake, shake, shake, shake, come on

I bet I shake the room

His life, we take, take, take, we gon' make the news

Can't run from this .62

It's a walk down, better chalk 'em up

He was dissin', now he can't talk much

The gyaldem know I'm really like that

She's goin' on bad, she's throwin' it back

'Cause the sex was lit, she's doublin' back

And she loves diamonds, I'm covered in that

Colouring book, I'm covered in tats

Can't find that prick, I'm doublin' back

Two sticks in the ride, I'm doublin' that

From a teenager, I've been troublin' waps

I bet I shake, shake, shake, shake, come on

I bet I shake the room

His life, we take, take, take, we gon' make the news

Can't run from this .62

It's a walk down, better chalk 'em up

He was dissin', now he can't talk much
