[English]

Yeah

I don't know what you think about

Gotta roll up to think about it

One more cup, know you love to drink about it

Gotta roll up to think about it

You needed some, it's over now

But it's all on you, yeah, but it's all on you, yeah

If you ride or die right now, better make sure of it

But it's all on you, yeah, but it's all on you, yeah

Only came with one life, so I'm livin' my life

Yeah, I'm goin' so crazy, yeah, like I'm livin' it twice

Know you came with some attitude, they so used to being nice

Every time I'ma bet on myself, every time I'ma go roll the dice

Four, five, six, ayy, four, five hoes

Four, five, whips, ayy, pull off in shit you don't know

Margiela, pull out them lil' kicks you don't know

These niggas don't see the vision, for sure

Dior hoe walk down like a Christian, I know

If it was simple, you would be doin' it

Keep you away, you just be ruinin'

Stay on that pace, I'm stayin' true to this

Plain jane face, I need some newer shit

She make it quake, what you gon' do with it?

Walk into Chase, makin' some movie shit

A day in my life, that's a lil' movie clip

A tag on the chop, that's just a soon be clip

Yeah

I don't know what you think about it

Gotta roll up to think about it

One more cup, know you love to drink about it

Gotta roll up to think about it

You needed some, it's over now

But it's all on you, yeah, but it's all on you, yeah

If you ride or die right now, better make sure of it

But it's all on you, yeah, but it's all on you, yeah
