[English]

Yo, Canada, this [ __ ] block life

[ __ ] No one's trapping, no one's

riding. It's done for food, bro. We need

to go. I'm done.

>> Yo. Look.

Who needs enemies [music and singing]

when you got friends like these? Yeah.

They say they're proud, but I ain't

close doors and feet.

Moving like names on D and D [singing]

was giving

>> [music]

>> I just got ghosted and run up her back.

Still my A on me.

Can't even take from me. Broke boys

can't step where my feet.

Now they're saying I'm hiding. [music]

Been putting in work, I'm grinding. Was

one of the us that fried [singing] it.

This lot ain't going to take that

lightly.

I'm M.I.A. [music]

Putting in mileage. Yeah, I dropped

expectations, now we don't hurt no more.

If I lost it all right now, can't break

my most months life and prosper. The

words that leave [music] your mouth have

no meaning. I'm telling them straight,

don't talk.

I'm telling them straight, don't talk.

Putting down the castle walls. Putting

down the [music] castle screaming. No

good left in one of my demons. What's

What's Robin and stealing? What's that

talking and preaching? Got clicks like

bobbing and weaving. Crush out kid like

money I'm feeling.

She got left on read. I don't care if

that body's [music] appealing.

Who needs enemies when you got friends

like these?

They say they're proud, [music] but I

ain't close doors and feet. Moving like

names on D and D was giving out game for

free. I just got ghosted and run up her

back. Still my Still my A on me. I got

thoughts on man's whole story. [music]

One wrong closer, man am I eating. We

got guns on me, grease and keys in the

whip, don't fit in no keyring.

We don't call that beef [music] and kill

my lease, shows under the seat.

I'm deleting sources, a BBL don't mean

that you're eating.

We don't complain, the man them's

[music] got gun diamond trauma.

Kick to the sauna, petrol bath on my

dick won't fall off.

I'm on the wing like [music and singing]

Walker, said he's a plug, can't tell

he's a talker. Got a body, but he didn't

mean it. Most of his squad drug man

[music] down safe. Said that I chew my

food then I peel it. My cool career

getting sent on block. Got him on a

clock. stop Kenzo eating. I broke two

legs it. One it down block [music]

that's everyone feeling. And I clean as

put a work cleaning. Got my hands on

cats that's sweeping. Cold blue till a

man stops breathing. Stop her work

[music] then man will seal it. From the

AM to the PM.

I work and I don't work on a weekend.

Push two nines but I weaken. Look, got

no talk when [music] I see them. Still

[ __ ] some free runs. Yo, got no talk

when I see them. Still [ __ ] some free

runs. Look.

Who needs enemies when you got friends

like these?

Yeah. They say that proud but I ain't

close doors and beef.

Moving like Nems on D and D was giving

out game for free. I just got ghosted on

one of our bikes.

Still my eight on me.
