[English]

Ayy, dump the Glock, show me it work or somethin' (show me that ho work, ayy)

Ayy, that chopper get to shakin' like it twerk or somethin' (if the chopper tryna twerk, ayy)

Just be patient 'til them Perkies come (work, work)

You can't come around the spot unless you tryna purchase somethin' (no, no, no, ayy)

It's different killers 'round me each and every day (for sure)

And too much movement can get you shot up in your face (brrt)

They beat a murder case because thеm boys didn't leave a trace (thеm boys ain't leave a trace)

I hope this song right here run up some millions in a day, ayy (millions in a day, for sure, for sure)

Ayy, ask about me, they gon' tell you I don't play (nope)

I need my money right away, I don't know how to wait (not today, right now)

Remixin' the 'bows, I filled them halfway up with shake (hahaha)

And that shit was OG, but I charged 'em like it was Cake (slime, slatt, slatt)

Better not send the drops unless that shit for sure (let's go)

And when that D'USSÉ hit, we get to screamin' out, "Let's go" (let's go)

Know I fuck on bitches, he gon' hide his ho (hahaha)

And you wasn't in the trap before I got hold to them 'bows (nope, nope, nope, you wasn't, bitch)

All these beams with us, it look like Laser Quest (brrt)

Yeah, I was born rich, I just ain't got my payment yet

They constantly askin' why I ain't signed to a label yet (why? Ayy, why?)

Man, if you wanna scream out, "Brrt," you gotta pay for that (brrt)

Ayy, dump the Glock, show me it work or somethin' (show me that ho work, ayy)

Ayy, that chopper get to shakin' like it twerk or somethin' (if the chopper tryna twerk, ayy)

Just be patient 'til them Perkies come (work, work)

You can't come around the spot unless you tryna purchase somethin' (no, no, no, ayy)

It's different killers 'round me each and every day (for sure)

And too much movement can get you shot up in your face (brrt)

They beat a murder case because thеm boys didn't leave a trace (thеm boys ain't leave a trace)

I hope this song right here run up some millions in a day, ayy (millions in a day, for sure, for sure)

We get the work all the way in and move it out (get this shit all the way in and move it out)

I met the plug personally, we never seen a drought (what's a drought? Ayy, what's a drought?)

Young nigga from the city put South Memphis on the map (gon' make it out)

I can't fuck with other niggas, all they ever do is yap (niggas cap, ayy, niggas cap)

Ayy, ayy, keep it G, you know I'm stickin' to that code (for sure)

And free my main hitters, they can keep the ones who told, ayy (let's go)

Tried to post me on IG, that ho was bold, ayy (she bold)

I seen my man had dumped the clip, then I'm tryna reload, ayy (brrt, brrt)

Nah, I ain't Roddy Ricch, my stick ain't in the box, ayy (nope)

Yeah, I know Muslim killers, shout out to them ahks, ayy (my ahks)

And all that woofin' cool 'til you end up on Fox, ayy (13)

Didn't have no gloves up on that mission, so we used some socks, ayy (hahaha)

Dump the Glock, show me it work or somethin' (show me that ho work, ayy)

Ayy, that chopper get to shakin' like it twerk or somethin' (if the chopper tryna twerk, ayy)

Just be patient 'til them Perkies come (work, work)

You can't come around the spot unless you tryna purchase somethin' (no, no, no, ayy)

It's different killers 'round me each and every day (for sure)

And too much movement can get you shot up in your face (brrt)

They beat a murder case because thеm boys didn't leave a trace (thеm boys ain't leave a trace)

I hope this song right here run up some millions in a day, ayy (millions in a day)
