[English]

Fraud niggas, y'all niggas, that's that shit I don't like

Your shit make believe, rapping 'bout my own life

Real names kill things, that's that shit I won't write

Cause my niggas still selling dope like they ain't on their third strikes

Camping out in that corridor, fuck you waiting on Jordans for?

I middle-man it for 23, just meet me somewhere around Baltimore

(Woo!) That's rare nigga, (Woo!) Ric Flair nigga

(Woo!) The power's in my hair nigga, (Woo!) I give this beat the chair nigga

SoHo or Tribeca, three hoes: trifecta

Dope money, hope money, Hublot, my watch better

My pen's better, you don't write, trendsetter, you clone-like

Pay homage or K's vomit – ungrateful niggas, I don't like

A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like

(This Chicago, nigga!)

They smile in my face is what I don't like

They steal your whole sound, that's a soundbite

The media crucify me like they did Christ

They want to find me not breathing like they found Mike

A girl'll run her mouth only out of spite

But I never hit a woman never in my life

I was in too deep like Mekhi Phifer

In that pussy so deep I could have drowned twice

Rose gold Jesus piece with the brown ice

Eating good, vegetarian with the brown rice

Girls kissing girls, cause it's hot, right?

But unless they use a strap-on then they not dykes

They ain't about that life, they ain't about that life

We hanging out that window it's about to be a Suge night

Free Bump J, real nigga for life

Shoutout to Derrick Rose, man that nigga nice

Shout out to L-E-P, Jay Boogie right?

Chief Keef, King Louie, this is Chi, right? right?!

A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like

(Young Chop on the beat)

Fake Gucci, that's that shit I don't like

Smoking on this dope, higher than a kite

This bitch gon' love me now, she gon' let me pipe

Screaming Sosa, that's that nigga that I like

I don't want relations, I just want one night

Cause a thirsty bitch, that's the shit that I don't like

I got tats up on my arm, cause this shit is life

And I stunt so much in clothes, cause I'm living life

I come up on the scene, and I'm stealing light

Bitch I'm high off life, got me feeling right

Bitch I'm Chief Keef, fuck who don't like

And bitch we GBE, we just go on sight

A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like

We are not one and the same, nigga I'm fucking insane, fuck is you saying?

Yo ass been doing the same, shit, not doing what you saying

Dang, I told yo old bitch she was fucking a lame, turn one ho to a train

Blaow, blang, my niggas holding that pain, I just hope you been praying

Bang bang, riding for my niggas and that's for life

High class, I'm just surrounded by these low-lifes

And I run this bitch like it's no lights, going hard the whole night

Cause I ain't going back to my old life, I promise

A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like

I done sold purple, I done sold white

Running outta work, that's that shit I don't like

She never let me hit it, she gave me dome twice

She blowing up my phone, that's that bitch I don't like

Nah, jean jacket with the sleeves cut

Put the pressure on 'em just when they think that I eased up

Thirty for the Cuban, 'nother 30 for the Jesus

Believe in ourselves when nobody else believed us, suckas

A fuck nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A snitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

A bitch nigga, that's that shit I don't like

Sneak disser, that's that shit I don't like
