[English]

Ay ¥o-Landi Vi$$er

For the girl that has everything in the world

What do you want eh?

Ufunani sisi eh?

I wanna lotta shit

Fuck, where to begin?

I wanna go to heaven but I'll never get in

Bad to the bone yo I'm spitting venom again

Decapitate a hater throw their head in a bin

Yes yes y'all watch the enemy fall

When I hit em with a muddafuckn energy ball

Flame on muddafukka ja I said it before

Ninja fuck it up spit yo it better be raw

Yo Lil2Hood threw this fuckin dope beat on

And put me in da fuckin zone then I wrote this song

I wanna kill muddafukkas yo I know it's wrong

I wanna blow the fuck up and put all my homies on

We on another level, no one can fuck with our sound

I straight fuck it up even when I'm fuckin around

I wanna little house in the woods under the ground

If you breaking in I'm poppin off a couple of rounds

Gqwa! Gqwa! Gqwa!

What a lot I got still wanna couple of things

Wanna cute lil baby Glock under my wing

One in the chamber for the stranger bringing danger

Wrong ninja to fuck with I'm the fuckin danger

They call me the professor of the streets

I don't let the pressure fuck with me

Just tryna be the best that I can be

When I'm blessing the beat

Ufunani Landi-Pandi?

I wanna rap again yo gimme the mic

You wanna fight? I disappear into the night

Go fetch a muddafuckn baseball-bat and a black gat

Come back and fuck you up

I steal from the rich and take care of my people

You just too evil and I'm just too good
