[English]

(Ay', Ecko, turn it up)

Aye (I can't hear nothing)

G Block (it's six, what's the word with it?)

Ay'

See niggas and I chase 'em down, I'm a bully

Long live my brother, any nigga said your name I'ma cook 'em

If we can't bring them ARPs to the show don't even book me

Janky nigga, popped out in black Air Forces with the fully

Spanked a nigga, wasn't capping when I told you I was spinning

Hopped out like the boogie man, caught a Tribe nigga slipping

Still be bending blocks like I don't give a fuck, I'm up a million

Kasino World, spanked your brother now I got you in your feelings

Stand over blood and make him feel it, I'm a real demon

North nigga survived a fully switch so I'm still fiending (ay')

Got up close, 'Gales, I wasn't off no pills either

All she do is suck dick and pay me, that's my lil eater

The baby Drac' loud ass fuck, it need a pacifier

I wish that I could call Los and tell him that his mans ain't sliding

Wanna kill him but he be hiding so I'm fantasizing

Not nervous on my block, I got some niggas that's gon' cram it by me

I popped that bitch with a fully then he dissed me

My first skit, I strapped my cleats and got on feet like Ken Griffey

2025 the takeover, they freeing brother Brissy

It's personal so when I run into that tribe I ain't missing

Fuck Westlane, I done really spinned that store and dropped 50

Marching down ain't shit with nothing but a skizzy and a switchy

Since they killed my brother Slo-Be, we been turning up the Giddy

Four niggas died after that so y'all can't say that we don't miss him

They in they hood, somebody dying in that bitch like a miscarriage

Broke on me when I was on a drill I tossed the Kriss Vector

Catching B's make me feel better

They lil' niggas out here checking out early, raise your kids better

'30 on me when I spin through

Came through with 30 dick and they was running like the bitch do

They call me Dracs, I keep '62s

Was doing skits, only reason why a nigga used to skip school

I'm top rank 'cause I smoked some

Caught two niggas in front of five, ain't get the B 'cause they was both running

And in that county they ain't on nothing

Ronny fuckin' with them niggas, you've been warned, I'ma smoke cousin

Spanked on-, gave him six shots

Fuck the North, I'm gon' think about that skit when I miss pops

Can hate on Dracs but your bitch not

These niggas keep checking out at these stores, this like the fifth opp

Man down, bump into a nigga, I'ma tweak

Check Snowy charges, pimping on them young bitches that ain't '3s

I let Pig rock the Dracy 'cause I seen him get on feet

Better be talking bodies if you mention G'z (G. Block)

See niggas and I chase 'em down, I'm a bully

Long live my brother, any nigga said your name I'ma cook 'em

If we can't bring them ARPs to the show don't even book me

Junky nigga, popped out in black Air Forces with the fully

Spanked a nigga, wasn't capping when I told you I was spinning

Hopped out like the boogie man, caught a Tribe nigga slipping

Still be bending blocks like I don't give a fuck, I'm up a million

Kasino world, spanked your brother now I got you in your feelings

Stand over blood and make him feel it, I'm a real demon

North nigga survived a fully switch so I'm still finding (ay')

Got up close, 'Gales, I wasn't off no pills either

All she do is suck dick and pay me, that's my lil eater
