[English]

Yeah, I been drinkin' on Tuss, yeah

You gave this money to make him hush, yeah

I hit a shot before the shot clock

I spend a quarter on a watch (Quarter on a watch)

I drip my main bitch down in Ross

Put a side bitch in Gucci socks

I got my main bitch a Patek yeah (Patek)

Got my side bitch a Gucci watch (Oh-oh, yeah)

I spent a chicken on my neck, yeah (Yeah)

I'm watching all these birdies flock (Oh-oh-oh)

That '63 cost me two hundred G's (AMG)

I suggest that you should ride with me

Feels like my flaws are all you ever see (All you see)

Just take it easy, it ain't easy being me (Yah)

Besides the money, what you want me for?

You got everything they got in store (You got everything)

But when you met me, said you didn't want a penny

Blew a bag and bought you twenty

I been drinkin' on Tuss, yeah

You gave this money to make him hush, yeah

I hit a shot before the shot clock

I spend a quarter on a watch (Quarter on a watch)

I drip my main bitch down in Ross

Put a side bitch in Gucci socks

People told me god damn, people told me

I was spendin' too much money inside the club

And I told them

I don't know what I gotta tell 'em, know what I'm sayin'?

I think it's the high power drugs, know what I'm talkin' bout?

Want to catch a XO vibe, well it's fine by me

Gotta give your phone up, you gotta show ID (XO)

There's not a lot of bitches that would stand by me

So there's not a lot of bitches that could stand by me

Soon as I find a girl that get along with me

I'ma fill her bag with hundreds and a lot of twenties

I bought you Gucci Joggers and they got a lil crease

The Prada jogger suit cost twelve Tech-Fleece

Fuck you face to face so I could feel your heart beat (Heart beat)

Say you want to see me

I could fly you out, I'll put you on the next seat

And you know everything on me

...

You got some high Chanel boots on you

You look just like my rich auntie

She was the first person wearing Blondie

I used to want to fuck my auntie

They used to call her key girl

She sold bricks and she a low key murderer

I been drinkin' on Tuss

...
