[English]

Man that ho trippin'

Man she trippin', man she trippin'

Man this ho trippin', she ain't on nothin'

I be ridin' through the city, know you see me stuntin'

Man that ho trippin'

Man that ho trippin'

Man that ho trippin'

I walk inside the club my eyes drippin'

I ain't standin' that ho 'cause she trippin'

I'm blowin' on this loud, you get missin'

Me and my clique man, we with it

I stay inside the club, I be ballin'

Yeah, I be ballin' like Spalding

I got a lot of money callin'

And I got a lot of cash fallin'

You know what the team, Zan with the lean, 9 with the beam

Man that whole trippin'

Man that whole trippin'

Man that whole trippin'

Man that whole trippin', man that whole trippin', man that whole trippin'

I be ridin' through the city, see me stuntin'

All these girls say they wanna get with me

Man that ho trippin'

See I ain't got no time, 'cause I be on my grind

Young hood nigga, let me hit that from behind

I'm sippin' lean in my rooms on rewind

You know it's on, I ain't tryin' to wine and dine

I'm in the hood, just lookin' for the dime

You know it's good, I ain't even in my ride

SOD Gang, I ain't even gotta ride

Stuntin' so hard, man I do this all the time

All of this juice I got it came from the pack

And I fall in the club and you know I got the sack

Man that ho trippin'

Man that ho trippin'

Man that ho trippin'

Man that ho trippin', man that ho trippin', man that ho trippin'

I'm with the biddin', ridin' through the city

You know I get it, my clique we with it

Man that ho trippin'

Man these niggas trippin'

They trippin'

They trippin'

She trippin'

These niggas trippin'

These bitches trippin'

Man she trippin'

And she trippin'
