[English]

I ain't gon' lie, I'm only doin' this bih 'cause my pops, yo, shoutout Chuck D

Niggas know how the fuck we comin', real high-standers, nigga

The whole family, this shit ain't just, you know, happen, nigga

You know how the fuck we rockin', man, yeah

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

Uh, Micro Drac', that's my cousin, your shit jammin', my shit butter

We can link up, get it bustin', shots let off, man down in public

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

Uh, we got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

I gotta fuck with my rubber, then I'ma pass her to brother

I slutted her out, you cuffed her, poured her lean, I'm double-cuppin'

I did a hit after lunchin', I heard you did somethin' and vomit

He must felt that in his stomach, can't relate, we cold-blood killers

All my niggas goin' cray-cray, don't rock Bape, but we gorillas

Run up on me, I'ma spray-spray, like Chief Keef, we don't fuck with you

Boy, your fan-ass wanna picture, I fuck all my grown-bitch siblings

Off the draink, I need a kickstand, think the lean man mixed the liquid

We be on roll like the mailman, 7.62 shell deliverin'

Ten milli' shell go through wiggies, really rich, bro, do you feel me?

Brand-new Red eye, poppin' wheelies, tryna keep up, bro you silly

We act shit out just like Disney, spin six times, bro, like I'm dizzy

I want a freak ho like Sexyy, wire transfer, that's my bestie

Sometimes I still fuck on Kelsey, we still give out leather belties

Ah, you tried to go against us, now you mad, boy, you upset it

Boy I'm the hottest out, ain't tryna talk, foenem there said it

I saw your text and read it, I'm focused on rubber-bandin'

Uh, she take her legs and spread it, I ain't gotta tell her get ready (the fuck)

I took my wings and flew, now I'm on PJs with the legends (god-damn)

I miss my fuckin' dawgs, I'm tired of writin' all these letters (free 'em)

Money stack up just like letters (god-damn), my bad, I mean, stack like Legos

He got hit up, that's a man down, bro, his mask up, that's a case closed

Uh, ain't got no clues, you gon' win or lose, nigga choose

You ain't got no clues, nigga win or lose, nigga choose win or lose

Nigga we never follow the rules

First nigga rich out my school, first nigga rich out my family

First nigga rich out my hood, get your man right in this bitch

It's okay to tote that switchy, 'cause I know this shit get wicked

At the same time, gotta go get it, every lane we stand on bidness

Rule one up in this shit, throw up that bitch, you ain't gon' blick it, yeah

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

Uh, we got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

Uh, Micro Drac', that's my cousin, your shit jammin', my shit butter

We can link up, get it bustin', shots let off, man down in public

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

We got buttons, we got buttons, watch them bitches stutter

I gotta fuck with my rubber, then I'ma pass her to brother

I slutted her out, you cuffed her, poured her lean, I'm double-cuppin'
