[English]

Running with that sack, Emmitt Smith

Deuce-deuce pocket rocket, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Finessing the plug, I run with that sack and I make a touchdown

Ran up the money, hall of fame of finesse, ain't no Jim Brown

I know my momma she proud of me

Young rich nigga, we the new trend now

Came a long way, from kicking the doors

Now people they pay me in PayPal

Wanna f*** with you cause I came up nigga

My momma she told me she love me, go get the bag nigga

I came a long way

From trapping in trenches to rockin' the mic and I did it, we did it

My pockets on Pinkett and I'm taking a pic

From flying from city to city

Running with that sack, Emmitt Smith

Deuce-deuce pocket rocket, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Run with the sack like I'm Emmitt and I keep the Emmitt for niggas who envy

Versace, Versace, Givenchy, Givenchy

With double F's on me, no Fendi

My niggas ain't feelin' their feelings

They put on their ski-masks, they leavin' no witness

My wrist it be spinnin' I'm doin' my fitness

Hall of fame trappin', young niggas I'm feedin'

My wrist game real sick so I need soup by Mrs Campbells

I'm baking and dodging the camera

Young niggas running with the work, Earl Campbell

Trapping in bandos and shelters

Young Takeoff and I'm finna buy Delta

Pourin' that 2 plus 2 in my Fanta

Your pockets look like they got cancer

I just bought a brand new Mercedes from Haiti and set it on some Walter Paytons

My 'migo he asked me to front him a kilo, I threw it to him like I was Peyton

I told momma we gon' make it

Now I'm on trips to Macon

Making a trip to go get the babies

I-75 with the pocket rocket

Running with that sack, Emmitt Smith

Deuce-deuce pocket rocket, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Emmitt, Emmitt, touchdown

Phew, phew, phew, phew, phew!

Glaw, bow!

That's a hundred rounds

Glaw, glaw!

Nigga lay it down

None of my plugs from America (nope), Africa (where?), Australia (where?)

Chopper gon' bite like Bull Terriers (glaw)

None of my niggas they scared of yah!

Hang a pussy nigga like ornament (pussy nigga)

Broke ass nigga unfortunate (broke nigga)

I keep the babies like orphanage babies

Go to the moon like astrologist

We not acceptin' apologies

Sellin' the shit to economies

Young rich nigga ridin' 'round in the Bentley

Throwin' money out the ceiling momma told me I'm ignant!

I'm two steps ahead of ya, never been regular

Hit a nigga with the anti-snitch and we burry him

Hop in the Jag', I'm droppin' the top back

Smoking on gas like a nigga got cataracts

Duck ass nigga I'm calling you Aflac

Alley oop dunking them bricks it's a Shaq attack

Only one bird can bring the whole corner back

Mike Offset Vick, throw it like a quarterback

Running with that sack, Emmitt Smith

Deuce-deuce pocket rocket, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith

Emmitt Smith, Emmitt-Emmitt Smith, Emmitt Smith

I just touched down on a pussy nigga

I just touched down on a pussy nigga
