[English]

On the count of three I want everybody to say

I'm a motherfuckin' Coke Boy!

One, two

I'm a motherfuckin' Coke Boy!

You'll let me in

With those whiskey eyes

You'll tell me things

I know they're all lies

I will fight, I'll fight for you

And there's nothing I can't do

Yeah, Montana

Hit the game, put the wave in it

Go and tap yo veins, put the needle in it

I'll snatch you by your head, like an eagle did it

Shootout with the police, like Seigel did it

Middle of the streets, like the Beatles did it

Can't be in it when you leave, or they leave you in it

Everything that's gold ain't what it glitter

I seen killers fold, foes turn to killers

Have your money right, when the law call

I seen my favorite rappers turn to calm ball

The best thing I did was let the pain hurt my feelings

Turn the pain into music

Turn the music into millions

Got jerked my first deal, now I tell 'em suck a dick

Once I make my first mil, told 'em fuck a brick

Brick, brick by brick, 'til it's empire

Lick by lick, go and sleep wide

Had to learn taxes, help you relax

If you don't own your map, then classics turn to ashes

So I hit the round table, count it all up

Or get the brown bag, count it all up

Call the bad bitches, round 'em all up

Count it first, nigga count it all up

Millionaire bitches, hit them all up

You'll let me in

With those whiskey eyes

You'll tell me things

I know they're all lies

I will fight, I'll fight for you

And there's nothing I can't do

They said kill 'em with success, toe tag ya

Name a Hollywood bitch I ain't rag yet

Promise, that pressure turn to diamonds

The comma turn to commas

If the block told your Honor, I'm

Seeing dreams in the box

The youngest turned to Papa

Trips out to Cabo, D.C with the models

There's Tammy from Miami

Put her face on the white like Sosa

Come and get a close up

I'm on the post like a power forward

From the hoodies to the Tom Ford

Big up, for the stick up

They wanted me to hiccup

I copped a Bent' over sticker

I'm 'bout to come and pick your chick up

Gladiator theme music, with Casino suits

Godfather trilogy, Al Pacino shoot

This that Benny Blanco 'fore he killed Carlito

This that Larry Davis before he caught the RICO

Them Bronx streets, teflon fleets

In the jungle, while you holding hands in Palm Beach

We was climbing fences, we was playing benches

One time for my bitches, naked on the trenches

European boots, European suits

African diamonds, my nigga shining

My nigga Chinx's son became my own son

The block where I'm from you need your own gun

Devil help me, I'm figuring that I'll convert to God

Took my grind from the pavement, and aimed it at the stars

Swag drippin' by the liter, full ounce of purp

The game ain't for the weak, go on play the church

Off the Mary Jane, pills, syrup, thick smoke, coughing

Ridin' on these suckers that opposing

Ballin', took the whistle from the ref and made my own calls

Fuck the pigs, got my homie on a phone call

No work, money goes under the mattress only

Hands clean, got some young's that'll bag it for me

Rarely skating, but your car flick diamonds only

Made my vow to the game, boy that's matrimony

You'll let me in

With those whiskey eyes

You'll tell me things

I know they're all lies

I will fight, I'll fight for you

And there's nothing I can't do
