[English]

I'm like, "Hold up, wait a minute"

AR got like eighty in it

Yeah, Northside, Southside, Westside, up top

Northside, Southside, 1-8, my block (Philly)

Yeah, you niggas know me, I'm the one

I get money, they can't hold me (They can't)

I been busting down APs back when y'all niggas was rocking Rollies

(Yeah)

Y'all only knew about JAY-Z, 'til y'all seen me and my homies

I was tryna chase my dreams, I had like twenty bands with a .40

I had a new Glock with a Chevy

Got my weed off, I'm ready

It was a seesaw with that trap shit, but I bounced back, I'm heavy

It was a seesaw with that rap shit, me and Reed going back at it

I spent nights up in this shit, all my blood, tears got tatted

I cut cuzzo off, he ratted (Cut him)

I cut bro off, he kept hatin' (Cut him)

I can't be around no jealous shit, I'm really the motivation (I am)

I can't be around no tellin' shit, they'll give up your location

I get money, pop that shit, and help get people off probation

I'm like, "Hold up, wait a minute" (Hold up)

AR got like eighty in it (Like eighty)

Once we start, we taking niggas (We takin')

I'm too rich to fake it with ya (I ain't fakin')

I had ate her out in Paris, told her I love her, I'm playing with her

I had liked her, but I cut her when I found out my man hit her, yeah

This shit getting realer and realer (Too real)

We tryna survive, we fighting the system, shit like Thrilla in Manila

(Too thrill)

When we outside, no, it's fair game, we putting killers with killers

(Brr)

We hitting niggas with slugs

Locked in the system, ain't no fear, like, mama, give me a hug

Cold nights, locked up with no money, niggas ain't give me a dub

Long nights, fucked up in the summer, niggas ain't give me a grub

I was tryna trap, my cousin told me he won't give me no drugs

(What?)

I looked my cousin dead in the eye like, "Brodie, give me them guns"

Huh, I start tweaking, I get that weed in me (Tweaking)

Light the whole city, all the real niggas sayin' they believe in me

Like her, I'm a lighter, I'm tripping on her, I put VVs in her

Acting like you press me about some money, that pussy said

"Please" to me (Pussy)

I just got ate up back in the Maybach with TVs in it (Maybach TVs)

I got my cake up, my estate up, shit like a breeze to me (Breeze)

Y'all boys better wake up, bruh, I'm in the gym and ain't no lean in me

Lean with me (Rock with me)

And I brought my team with me

And they brought them shh, know them bad hoes, don't be mean to me

Hit her with that shh, she ain't that, she can't be seen with me

She done came with him, but when she left, she tryna leave with me

Bleed with me, Crip with me, nigga

Bro say he fucked up, come get with me, nigga

This ain't no luck, come take risks with me, nigga

We still going up, I'm putting Richies on hitters (Richie me)

Bust down on bad bitches, this shit keep getting bigger

(Bigger and bigger)

Hold up

I'm like, "Hold up, wait a minute"

AR got like eighty in it (Brr)

Once we start, we taking niggas (Yeah)

I'm too rich to fake it with ya

I had ate her out in Paris, told her I love her, I'm playin' with her

I had liked her, but I cut her when I found out my man hit her (Cut)

She a bad girl, know I'm the GOAT, she ate that dick up

Jamaican dinner

She knows I'm an asset to her, I ain't even know how fake it with her

(Asset)

I been chilling, really healing, y'all gon' really make a nigga

They at war, but bitch come on, come say the Chasers' prayer with us

Get money

Chase it, chase it, chase it, get money

Chase it, chase it, chase it, get money

(Chase it, chase it, chase it, get money)

(Chase it, chase it, chase it, get money)
