[English]

You was that nigga, what happened?

Fucked up the pack, what happened?

You ain't no shit, stop capping.

Keep your head up, stop lacking.

Nigga be out here running up, thinking shit sweet, but that shit it won't happen.

Let a couple shots off, everybody like, what happened? What happened? What happened?

What happened? What happened?

You was that nigga, what happened?

Fucked up the pack, what happened?

You ain't no shit, stop capping.

Keep your head up, stop lacking.

Nigga be out here running up, thinking shit sweet, but that shit it won't happen.

Let a couple shots off, everybody like, what happened? What happened? What happened?

You wasn't that nigga for long.

I made you, you just a clone.

Got rid of my opps, be gone.

You know what the fuck going on.

I been in the Rolls, I been in that Bentley, I been out here setting the tone.

I been had the Rollie, I been had the AP, I been busting down two tones.

No talking, pull up on niggas, no lacking.

I let the ratchet out, they don't know what happened.

Pull up and take your bitch, don't want no capping.

Don't give a fuck what you had if you don't got it.

I wanna got me a four on the trap out it.

Make that hoe give me some top in a big body.

You was that nigga but now you a nobody.

Nigga, what happened? You ain't getting no money.

You was that nigga, what happened?

Fucked up the pack, what happened?

You ain't no shit, stop capping.

Keep your head up, stop lacking.

Nigga be out here running up, thinking shit sweet, but that shit it won't happen.

Let a couple shots off, everybody like, what happened? What happened? What happened?

What happened? What happened?

You was that nigga, what happened?

Fucked up the pack, what happened?

You ain't no shit, stop capping.

Keep your head up, stop lacking.

Nigga be out here running up, thinking shit sweet, but that shit it won't happen.

Let a couple shots off, everybody like, what happened? What happened? What happened?

Word on the street, nigga, your life is a fable.

I know way too many killers.

And they ain't signed a label.

Niggas wanna be real.

And bitches wanna be too.

Niggas switch sides for the opps.

Bitches switch sides for the crew.

All these niggas want the sauce.

All these bitches want the juice.

All these hoes fuck to get on.

And these niggas suck dick too.

Who got these niggas some game? A trick?

Who put these niggas in Gucci? A bitch?

Who are you flexing a nigga? A bitch?

Who put your ass on the juicy? A bitch?

Niggas is loose.

You was that nigga, what happened?
