[English]

Business as usual

Money on my mind I can feel it in my cubicle

Fuck the 9 to 5 wasn't made for a cubicle

Niggas know I'm raw-tuna roll

You know what it is kid ink up in this bitch

Hear that errr smell the scent

Bitch I'm all, all in

One hit and leave a niggas nose twitchin he wished it would

What I'm smokin on I sware to god im floatin in a drift

Alumni we the illest

Sicker than contagion

All up in your hood like my niggas workin' crankin'

Know that L.A. is the city but it look like we from Asia

Say I don't be in my city? Who the fuck is you pholasin

Lets go!

Yeah!

Well Alright!

It go peter picked them peppers nigga I just picked them hoes out

Swimmin' in the money and im livin, boathouse

I dont need a floaty cause im sittin' on a cloud

Tell the world kiss my ass head up look at me now bitch!

Back on immense, stack on stack im rackin' em' in

Sware that they ain't fuckin' with me talkin' all that abstinence

Yeah!

Bitch I'm blowin' up, cue the bomb

Niggas know I'm raw tuna roll

Batter up, I'm outta here

Find me in the cut like I live there

Im the man in this bitch you just Tyler Perry

See me throwin' money in the sky til' im outta air

Sorry your honor but I had to kill em'

Niggas think they hard but they softer than pillows

And im high off a pill in the buildin' like dealers

Pissin' off the tenants give a fuck bout your feelings

Tell em!

Im on!

Okay, snapback, hatback

Smokin' on that loud pack

Blow it to the ceiling, look like bombs over Baghdad

Bitch im more familie, even mobile phone to texts

Im the realest on the at-list you can go and ask the masses

What up!

Hold up, have a taste

You ain't gotta go to outer space

You can see the stars baby, welcome to the show

Yeah these niggas know im raw, tuna roll!

Alumini Bitch!

Wheels Up!

Niggas know im raw Tuna roll!
