[English]

By any means necessary

We gon' get this shit

Ain't 'bout to play with nobody this shit get treacherous

(DJ on the beat so it's bangin')

I was blinded

I was blinded

My son thought my brother been gone ten like where the time went?

Got niggas been dead for all these years I'm still crying

Niggas'll still frame you, they helped you try to find it

Runnin' money up so you don't never feel that pain again

I bought mansions I can't get left in the rain again

If niggas getting the way it is, we put that flame to them

If they' some threats get them right now don't play with them

Lil bro say highest, they' some threats to us (Bro how?)

We got money, big bro highest, they' gon' get to us (Man listen)

I say lil bro don't ever think you can't be touched(Don't ever think that)

I'on care how rich you is, nigga they shot at Trump(You saw that shit?)

And damn near landed one

I ain't selfish anybody I fucked with I helped everyone

They can say I stopped fucking with them, can't say I ain't give 'em nothin'

God you done made the way for us (Amen)

We blessed but pray for us

Ya'll niggas ain't calm 'em down, now them people can't wake 'em up

Ay, shit get treacherous

Iced my neck

Lit my wrist

Out the country with my bitch

Crazy part is I'm that same nigga ain't had a pot to piss

Now they say I ain't shit, 'cause I ain't do that and this, tell 'em suck my dick

Bitch, you hear me?

I was blinded

20K for the palms, 'member going in on the high end

I jump on flights that's 60K I get to fly this

I'on think nobody fucking with us I'm biased

They gave brodie life but he came home 'cause he kept fighting

Can't lie I fell off but I bounced back 'cause I kept grindin'

You say you ain't where you wanna be nigga keep trying

I spent 20K at the Palms 'member I couldn't afford the high end

You hear me?

Can you imagine it

Should've seen how they treated us when we weren't havin' it

I couldn't afford a Radisson

Fast foward nigga, three mil cash for my Cali crip on Addison

I'm havin' shit

If we locked in then I got you brother

If they try to hurt you and I'm right there that won't happen brother

Somethin' happen to you your kids gon' look at me like daddy brother

Keep it real that's all I ask the other shit don't matter brother

You know, and it works both ways, I got you sis

I ain't no hater but I'm gon' tell you if you could do better sister

Stay true to you, walking your purpose that's what matters sister

I was out here like I needed glasses sister

'Cause I was blinded

I was blinded

My son thought my brother been gone ten like where the time went?

Got niggas been dead for all these years I'm still crying

Niggas'll still frame you, they helped you try to find it

Runnin' money up so you don't never feel that pain again

I bought mansions I can't get left in the rain again

If niggas getting the way it is, we put that flame to them

If they' some threats get them right now don't play with them

Lil bro say highest, they' some threats to us (Nigga how?)

We got money, big bro highest, they' gon' get to us (Man listen)

I say lil bro don't ever think you can't be touched(Don't think that)

I'on care how rich you is, nigga they shot at Trump

And damn near landed one

I ain't selfish anybody I fucked with I helped everyone

They can say I stopped fucking with them, can't say I ain't give 'em nothin'

God you done made the way for us

We blessed but pray for us

Ya'll niggas ain't calm 'em down, now them people can't wake 'em up

Key Grammar Structures

• Ain't 'bout to play with nobody this shit get treacherous

  ➔ Informal negative construction 'Ain't 'bout to'

  ➔ 'Ain't 'bout to' is a colloquial and informal way of saying 'am not going to'. It's often used to express a strong unwillingness to do something. Here it implies the speaker is not going to tolerate or play around with anyone in the current treacherous situation.

• If niggas getting the way it is, we put that flame to them

  ➔ Conditional sentence with informal language; use of 'the way it is' idiom

  ➔ This is a conditional statement. "If niggas getting the way it is" means if people are causing problems or obstructing progress. "The way it is" is used to refer to an existing state of affairs. 'Put that flame to them' is a figurative way of saying they will retaliate or attack.

• Lil bro say highest, they' some threats to us

  ➔ Ellipsis (omission of words) and informal contraction 'they' some'

  ➔ The sentence is missing the verb 'are' or 'is'. 'They' some' is a shortened and informal way of saying 'they are some'. Ellipsis is common in spoken and informal language for brevity.

• I'on care how rich you is, nigga they shot at Trump

  ➔ Double negative ('I'on care'), Informal conjugation ('how rich you is'), Topic shift

  ➔ 'I'on care' is a double negative (I don't care), common in AAVE. "How rich you is" uses a non-standard verb conjugation. The sentence suddenly shifts to the topic of someone shooting at Trump, implying that even someone as powerful as Trump is vulnerable. This highlights the speaker’s main point: vulnerability is universal regardless of wealth or status.

• Can't lie I fell off but I bounced back 'cause I kept grindin'

  ➔ Informal contraction 'Can't lie'; causal conjunction 'cause', past continuous 'kept grindin'

  ➔ 'Can't lie' is an informal way of saying 'I cannot lie' or 'I'm not going to lie'. 'Cause' is a shortened version of 'because', used as a causal conjunction. 'Kept grindin'' is a past continuous construction implying he continuously worked hard.

• You say you ain't where you wanna be nigga keep trying

  ➔ Informal negative 'ain't', relative clause 'where you wanna be', imperative 'keep trying'

  ➔ 'Ain't' is an informal negative contraction for 'am not', 'is not', or 'are not'. 'Where you wanna be' is a relative clause functioning as a noun phrase. 'Keep trying' is an imperative sentence encouraging persistence.

• If we locked in then I got you brother

  ➔ Conditional sentence, slang 'locked in', informal 'got you'

  ➔ 'If we locked in' means 'If we are committed to each other' or 'If we have a strong bond'. 'Locked in' is a slang expression for loyalty and commitment. 'I got you' means 'I will support you' or 'I will help you'.
