[English]

Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding

Basic bitches asking me what a bean is

Put her number in my phone and delete it

Put her number in my phone and delete it

My killers gorillas they roll with bananas

30 on waist, they won't run out of ammo

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

Catch me in the 6 with my day ones

We don't need no new friends

(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again no)

These youngins just said he needs laces for his Jordan 9s he ain't talking bout shoes

My killas they ballin, but they don't crossover, they stand on the corner and shoot

35 points to an assist

Went from passing a rock to a brick

I know Brazilians that hitting licks

I know some niggas that I fucked they bitch

I know some people who said they wouldn't switch, but they switch

I know some people who said they wouldn't snitch, but they snitch

But it's hard to see a snitch in a nigga

But I can always tell a bitch in a nigga

I'm on the road to the riches lil nigga

I never get caught up on bitches lil nigga

Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding

Basic bitches asking me what a bean is

Put her number in my phone and delete it

Put her number in my phone and delete it

My killers gorillas they roll with bananas

30 on waist, they won't run out of ammo

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

Catch me in the 6 with my day ones

We don't need no new friends

(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again no)

These pussies rapping on road, but they singing in jail

My bro on the run, tryna stack up his bail

My pockets is low, I didn't want check the mail

Now that I'm up, man I'm giving em' hell

I just want money, I don't need these hoes

She see I'm getting money, she ain't know, now she know

She didn't wanna fuck with me when I was broke

Now I'm pouring white girls, and white girls know

She fuck with the kid cuz she know imma blow

Remember the days that I wore the same clothes

Remember the days sitting with the same ass thot

Look up to the sky and came up with a plot

All of my niggas, we chasing a knot

These niggas they wishing my music gon' flop

Wanna make this money or not?

Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding

Basic bitches asking me what a bean is

Put her number in my phone and delete it

Put her number in my phone and delete it

My killers gorillas they roll with bananas

30 on waist, they won't run out of ammo

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again

Catch me in the 6 with my day ones

We don't need no new friends

(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take simple again no)
