Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh, this what we doing?

I don't even have to say I'm the queen of my city no more man

They know I'm the queen, man, they already jacked that

Yeah, man

I could never lose, what you thought?

Bitch I'm the queen of New York

Its RedLyfe I'm a big stepper (big stepper)

I bleed when I walk, big flexer

This chess not checkers (uh-huh)

But my checks up when I talk, I tell 'em, "Bless up"

I ain't giving no lecture (no)

Cognac got me charged up like a Tesla

Foot on they necks, pressure (pressure)

So many people let me down, why I would I let up? (Why?)

Can't trust these friendly niggas, nah, it's a set up (nah)

Man, I can't trust these pretty bitches, MOB forever

My heart told me fuck love, get your shit together (uh-huh), yeah

And when you take a couple L's you gon' win forever (hmm)

Give up, I'll never

I don't give a fuck what you did first I probably did it better

Six years independent, winning, will it end? Never (never)

I'm a living legend even when I die I'ma live forever

I'm one word with ten letters, successful

One word with ten letters, successful

Yeah, I'm God's gift, but that boss shit, I'm the big devil (I'm the big demon)

Can't trick me, if she a gold digger I'm the big shovel (she the big treesh)

I like a thick bitch with a thick bank and a thick schedule, yeah (ooh, ooh, ooh)

And I'm the shit, bitch, and ain't shit changed, just a different level (mhm)

Yeah, I'm one word with ten letters, successful

One word with ten letters, successful

And I'm top ten and if you think otherwise, suck my dick

I got it locked and I'm locked in (uh-huh)

I'm cut different I am not them (not them)

It's RedLyfe and we tied in

They got me and I got them (RedLyfe)

They say I'ma go to hell for all of the sinning

Well, let me rot then (uh-huh)

It's timeout for you niggas when I put the time in

No handouts, I put the grind in (huh?)

Got in my bag and I got rich when I climbed in (mmm)

They clock out when I clock in (uh)

'Cause I'm the big spitter

Only competition I would probably have (is what?)

Is a twin sister
