Know what I did

Know what I did

Know what I did

Know what I did, Yeah (Ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

But I ain't buildin' no bridge (Ayy)

My jeweller just flooded my wrist, yeah

('Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah)

Went to go fuck me some twins

Had to buy my mama a new crib (Ayy)

Then buy my lil' bitch some new heels, yeah

('Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

Know what I did (Know what I did)

Know what I did (Know what I did)

(Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah)

I had it put on for the clique (Clique)

I'ma rep my shit on the real (Yeah)

(Lemme tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

Come with me, follow the drip

You don't want no problem for real (Real)

Lay back to pop me a seal

(Lemme tell you what I did)

All I know how to do is get bent

Top down on a man, that's not my steelo (My steelo)

Stubble tip piece up in my pants

I'ma get to this bag, nigga keep it on the D-low (On the D-low)

I swear, I'm up in my bag

I'm up in my bag, your ass baby, he know

That sack, I'll get to that sack

I'll get to that sack, I ain't talkin' Dan Marino (Dan Marino, yy)

You follow my drill (Drill)

Yes, that made me walk with a deal (Deal)

I don't give a fuck how you feel

(Lemme tell you what I did, yeah)

Stackin' up bills

Double cup crackin' the seal (Seal)

Lil' daddy, I'm packin' for real

(Lemme tell you what I did, yeah)

Know what I did (Ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

(Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

Know what I did (Know what I did)

(Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

So y'all niggas know I'm fuckin' with you

I- I- I took a bitch out of town, put some dick on her body

She takes it, she thinkin' about me

She gave me a shower and baby you know what I'm 'bout, huh?

Started young, I'm tryin' to run them dollars up

Ain't acknowledge us, steady pilin' up

Got 'em frownin' up, it's really all or none

I'm in my bag, jump out the whip and I got on they ass

Trump Towers, I'm in here rockin' some ice (Bling)

While I'm talkin' my mouth gotta glisten when I'm in the light

Grindin' hard, come up from under that life

Grindin' hard, baby I wanna shine

Why you still ringin' my cellular

Shit ain't my loss, no regular

Brushed aluminum texture whip up in the Vette an'

Hop out in your section and then go to flex on 'em

I'm talkin' 'bout extra, forgive me, I'm messin'

These niggas be hatin', I gotta address it

They women look sexy, they love how I'm dressed an'

And my diamonds reflectin' without no protection

I'm drinkin' consecutive, I'm an executive

Rolly a president

Know what I did (Ayy)

But I ain't buildin' no bridge (Ayy)

My jeweller just flooded my wrist, yeah

('Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah)

Went to go fuck me some twins

Had to buy my mama a new crib (Ayy)

Then buy my lil' bitch some new heels, yeah

('Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

Know what I did (Ayy)

(Tryin' to tell you what I did, yeah, ayy)

Know what I did (Know what I did)

Know what I did (Know what I did)

Know what I did
