[English]

Racks on me, drop out the coupe with that stick on me.

Got a bad bitch on me, I got a whole brick on me.

I got exotic gas on me, you want paper tag on me.

I'm counting cash on me, yellow do the dash on me.

Put the brick on the scale, 'cause I wanna play with a bail.

Racks on me, I don't even care.

I'm out of state, switching up my area code.

VS diamonds on my neck, look like the North Pole.

Go, Soulja, go, I just hopped out a brand new Lambo.

Go, Soulja, go, go, Soulja, go.

Punching the clock, I'm punching a bag.

The Lambo brick sand tan, I just took a jet and I landed in Japan.

I just made 25 million yen.

Put the brick on the scale, 'cause I wanna play with a bail.

Racks on me, racks, I don't even care.

I'm out of state, switching up my area code.

VVS diamonds on my neck, look like the North Pole.

Double R Ghost, peek-a-boo.

Yellow diamonds on me, Pikachu.

1,000 dollar tennis shoes.

Pulled up in a new Porsche, bulletproof.

Iced out Patek, look just like a igloo.

You play with the gang, then you know I get rid of you.

Twin Glock on me, I peeled a four.

12-hundred, making it rain out the sunroof.

100k for a show, I'm getting this shit on the road.

I got the shit on the floor, shooters all up at your door.

Walking in the club, need more, working in the club, four more.

I'm in the mix with promo.

Young ***** poled up, young ***** count up a four.

Young ***** ride through the four.

Young ***** trap on my zone, I'm trapping this shit off my phone.

I'm sipping this shit out the foam, I'm sipping and I start foam.

A purple styrofoam, a pink styrofoam.

Meechie, meechie, meechie, spin the block and we gon' whip it.

Got young ****** on a mission.

Touching a whole ticket, I'm touching a whole Bentley.

Score for a quarter milli, my young ****** spending 50.

They spin till they get dizzy.

I'm sliding, gliding outside, I ain't even on Gripen my fire.

Ain't hitting no siren, they ain't even ringing that siren.

They play with the gang, you dying.

Pull up, they flying, going viral, going viral, we going viral.

Play with the gang and you going viral.

I'm with the gang, we going viral.

All of my chains, they going viral.

All of my gang, they going viral.

All of my gang doing... Me in the club turned up.

You play with the gang, you getting burnt up.

In the trap, it's turned up, you run up on me, you getting burnt up.

Residue up on my finger, all this ice, I blocked out burner.

Young turnt *****, ain't nobody really tryna touch us.

Put the brick on the scale, 'cause I wanna play with a bail.

Racks on me, racks, I don't even care.

I'm out of state, yeah, switching up my area code.

VVS diamonds on my neck, look like the North Pole.

Young turnt *****, young turnt *****.

Young turnt *****, young turnt *****.

Young turnt *****, young turnt *****.

Young turnt *****, we some young turnt ******.
