[English]

Bet twenty more, I hit the first roll

Freaky b*****s on go, she gone off the road

Run up in your house like I’m commando

Clip hanging out the Glock, extendo

Homicide, b*****s we known for that

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Strapped like it’s Belly, you singing, R. Kelly

You play it get deadly, it's Grape Gang, no jelly

I'm counting up fetti, you talking already

I pull up with choppers that come with machetes

I’m ****ing on Betty, her head got me steady

I call her Lil Caesars, that ****in hot and ready

My gun a Lil Caesars, that ****ing hot and ready

I dumped my lil b***h, now that ****ing hot and jealous

Hold up, let me catch my breath

Shoot a ****ing teeth, then say he killed himself

Fill 'em up with holes like a criminal

Paralyzed waist down, now he can’t feel himself

Ride with my guys man, I swear it ain’t nothing else

Freaky b*****s, I make her touch herself

I'm balling in town, look like ****ing a ref

Leave his ass stanking, I blow him like bad breath

Woah, double-oh-seven, hit him with the weapon, gotta

Go, when the police come, dip underground

Spend a hundred somethin' when I move around

Lil bitty boy, you still eat off the ground

You see them Haitians, they up on the Gram

Shh, don’t make a sound

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Bet twenty more, I hit the first roll

Freaky b*****s on go, she gone off the road

Run up in your house like I’m commando

Clip hanging out the Glock, extendo

I’m a dog, I think that I got a bone to fetch

Stop what you're doing

Thirty-three in my clip, that’s Patrick Ewing

Open up wide, girl I’m looking for the chewing

Shawty gave me head, now I know what she pursuing

It be nina with the coolant

Mask on, AR, b***h that’s on my side

PRG, 700, we don’t let b***h slide (crip)

We don’t let b***h slide (crip)

B***h play with me I ride (crip)

B***h I’m cripping with the guys,

We Get up with three high fives

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot

Shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot
