[English]

(drum lord)

Ayy, huh, bitch I'm from Texas.

Everybody 'round here keep a whip.

Everybody 'round here used to step.

Stay out the way 'cause this shit can get deadly.

Ayy, huh, bitch I'm from Texas.

We throwing bows on a big body Chevy.

Swangin' the slab like the fenders were heavy.

We pass shit on sight, better cut out your stair.

Ayy, bitch I'm from Texas.

We pourin' up fours in our beverage.

Sip on that drink 'til we heavy.

Bitch I'm from Texas.

Where Mexicans and blacks stand together we keep this shit healthy.

Ayy, standing on business, don't care if you feel it.

Make sure that you comin' correctly.

Ayy, bare hoes and bitches, big dogs with no leashes.

I bet they jump on gettin' buried.

In the woods we got hogs and coyotes.

They eat old bodies, don't care about no evidence.

Everybody out here really ready to kill you.

Black, we ain't trippin' 'bout spinnin'.

The jewelry, the cars, the clothes, the hoes.

Everything that y'all do, we invented it.

The bitches out here either eat the meat off the bone.

They gon' swallow them kids, I ain't spittin' it.

Ayy, huh, bitch I'm from Texas.

Everybody 'round here keep a whip.

Everybody 'round here used to step.

Stay out the way 'cause this shit can get deadly.

Ayy, huh, bitch I'm from Texas.

We throwing bows on a big body Chevy.

Swangin' the slab like the fenders were heavy.

We pass shit on sight, better cut out your stair.

Ayy, mamas and aunties and grandmas cryin'.

'Cause children out here in the streets and they dyin'.

Clutchin' on pistols, just tryin' to survive.

That's how we get it down here in the South.

Everybody got some guns in the couch.

Everybody got some gold in their mouth.

Everybody got a speaker system, put the beat in their trunk.

While they cruise down the block 'cause they servin' that war for it.

Out here in the South, they killin', they really go to war for it.

Niggas kickin' your door for it.

Yeah, we bustin' your ass, you get put on the floor for it.

At the top where I'm puttin' my name at.

I'mma claim it, I'm comin' for greatness.

On the block where the kids used to hang.

Get clutchin' my pipe, really ready to bang that.

Ayy, bitch I'm from Texas.

Everybody 'round here keep a whip.

Everybody 'round here used to step.

Stay out the way 'cause this shit can get deadly.

Ayy, huh, bitch I'm from Texas.

We throwing bows on a big body Chevy.

Swangin' the slab like the fenders were heavy.

We pass shit on sight, better cut out your stair. Bitch!

Bitch, huh.

Yeah, you feel me?

Yeah, that bitch hard, that's good right there.
