[English]

I could tell you 'bout the time I made a call, and we got it right

I could tell you 'bout the wins and all the losses in my life

I could tell you 'bout the time we ain't give up and we still fight

I could tell you 'bout the time

I could tell you 'bout the money, cars, and hoes, and the ice

I could tell you 'bout the time I counted an M in a night

I could tell you 'bout the time I fucked me a dime on a flight

Another check came in, God, forgive my sins

Rappin' to myself and I, I just wanna vent (I just wanna vent)

I get by myself sometime, lookin' outside-in (lookin' outside-in)

Wunna workin' overtime, can't stop clockin' in

Told you, I'ma stay focused, I'ma get motion with my mans (mans)

Motion tryna get close, can't keep going, yes, I can (yes, I can)

Rollin', I done been foldin', feel like I'm fallin', I ain't fall, here I stand (stand)

Tall, back against the wall, I'll fight 'em all as a man

Say fuck it, buy me a house with horses and cows on the land

With the garage full of Porsches, Royces, and 'Raris, and Lambs (Lambs)

Cut fake ties with these fake niggas, it all was a scam

Kept a collage full of pretty vibes that love who I am

I could tell you 'bout the time I made a call, and we got it right

I could tell you 'bout the wins and all the losses in my life

I could tell you 'bout the time we ain't give up and we still fight

I could tell you 'bout the time

I could tell you 'bout the money, cars, and hoes, and the ice

I could tell you 'bout the time I counted an M in a night

I could tell you 'bout the time I fucked me a dime on a flight

Had to turn a page, had to act my age

Always push myself a lot, sayin' that it's okay (it's okay)

I don't feel like myself sometimes, shit, I guess I've changed

Hardest shit we swore about, know this shit feel strange (shit feel strange)

Shit gotta be real, I got real foes givin' me praise (givin' me praise)

I can feel real love from all of my fans when I'm on stage

I was takin' drugs, I heard they never go away

Givin' out my heart, not even thinkin' it could break (thinkin' it could break)

Grateful for my God that I be thinkin' on when I pray

Hate to waste my time, I'm impatient, but I can wait

Haters hate when I'm shinin' (shinin'), shine bright like the sun in May

Ain't gon' play about mine, I'm gonna do what it take

I could tell you 'bout the time I made a call, and we got it right

I could tell you 'bout the wins and all the losses in my life

I could tell you 'bout the time we ain't give up and we still fight

I could tell you 'bout the time

I could tell you 'bout the money, cars, and hoes, and the ice

I could tell you 'bout the time I counted an M in a night

I could tell you 'bout the time I fucked me a dime on a flight
