[English]

Exclusive.

That's crazy, on.

She know dog pounds.

That's block for my granny crib.

You know that's why I met B.J. now.

One shout to Pound.

My heart was pounding, it's crazy as it sounded.

Nigga, I used to f*** with, in a hood let me drowning.

Went to jail ain't even have a bond, I gave 'em thousands.

Be 'em bitches over pics, I like that shit was childish.

Grown hoes and child day snarky, they that shit be crowded.

Post the guns, them bitches ain't getting used, them niggas cowards.

Niggas run away to show they fake, them niggas sour.

I be Googling Von pics every day, just check my browser.

Bitches high as niggas nowadays, they f*** for hours now.

The hoes ain't come outside back in the day, they f*** for thousand now.

First they want the weed, then the lean, they want the powder now.

The powder now.

One of my brothers popped too many pills, can't come around me high.

When I was down, you went on my side, can't come around me now.

Thought you was slick, I seen that s*** come from a thousand miles.

I sat in the courtroom for a day, I seen a thousand trials.

And I'm around the same niggas who I started with.

And I support the same hood who I started with.

And I'ma stand on all ten who I started with.

Proud of me, me I'm proud of you, them shorties proud of you.

You a clown to me, you told me you never told, I went and found the truth.

Drowning me, I look at phone the wrist, like they drowning too.

Street nigga had came to me with nothing, I gave 'em a pound or two.

My heart was pounding, it's crazy as it sounded.

Nigga, I used to f*** with, in a hood let me drowning.

Went to jail ain't even have a bond, I gave 'em thousands.

Be 'em bitches over pics, I like that s*** was childish.

Grown hoes and child day snarky, they that s*** be crowded.

Post the guns, them bitches ain't getting used, them niggas cowards.

Niggas run away to show they fake, them niggas sour.

I be Googling Von pics every day, just check my browser.

Started young, I seen a lot, checking in on you don't want nothing, that s*** mean a lot.

Ain't nothing at home for us, right there ain't the block is all we got.

Told Smurda beef around, got numbers down in hip hop.

This ain't entertainment, this s*** real life big Tupac.

The trolls got you feeling like you got something to prove.

Prove it, they gon' have something to say.

Loose, loose.

To my youngers, I hope y'all know getting a life sentence ain't cool.

I tell everybody just know what you doing when you do it.

The streets ain't what it was, they f***ed it up, this s*** is duff.

Young niggas run the old heads out the way.

Once who had the plug, they got the restaurants and clubs now, gangsters don't want money all they care about is guns.

In order to win the war, you gon' have to have your funds right.

We used to be a hundred deep back then we had fun nights.

Forty went to jail, twenty straight, the rest of lost their life sense.

I had 2K to my name, I gave 'em a thousand.

Bro got 20 years, he saved up like a thousand.

She finna get on OnlyFans and charge a thousand.

He wanted 2K for a drake, I gave 'em a thousand.

Told you my word 1000.

I told you my word 1000.

I told you my word 1000.

I told you my word 1000.

My heart was pounding, it's crazy as it sounded.

Nigga, I used to f*** with, in a hood let me drowning.

Went to jail ain't even have a bond, I gave 'em thousands.

Be 'em bitches over pics, I like that s*** was childish.

Grown hoes and child day snarky, they that s*** be crowded.

Post the guns, them bitches ain't getting used, them niggas cowards.

Niggas run away to show they fake, them niggas sour.
