[English]

Yeah, yeah

Woah, woah, woah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

(Ayy, SOB, bitch, that's SOB)

Know the world been waiting long time coming

What I spent on arm, spent 15 on it

Know you heard niggas talk, but they ain't know nothing

It was just me and my brothers when we had nothing

Niggas wanna see us lose, but we still winning

Lost some niggas to these streets, and I'm still tripping

All my niggas real shooters, real headhunters

We done had this shit lit for about ten summers

Yeah, on it, yeah

We done had this shit lit the last ten summers

All these niggas do is talk, they never did nothing

So why the fuck they keep on talking like they did something?

Yeah, I'm squeegeed up when I'm in public, keep the Glocky on

If I make that call to my little babies, that's a body gone

And I heard them niggas back doored you and you still with them

Nigga, that'll never be some shit that I condone

Yeah, I'm proud to step in the mirror, sagging, mind clear, junkie

If you know the consequences, wouldn't dare touch me

When I was sitting in that cell, you wasn't there for me

We put scopes upon our choppers, we ain't deer hunting

Nigga, R.I.P. to Thugg, I'm throwing up the deuce

Bitch, I'm getting shifty up in traffic, fucking up the coupe

We put them niggas on the menu, oh, you fuck with them?

Nigga, if you fucking with them suckers, I can't fuck with you, nigga

Know the world been waiting long time coming

What I spent on arm, spent 15 on it

Know you heard niggas talk, but they ain't know nothing

It was just me and my brothers when we had nothing

Niggas wanna see us lose, but we still winning

Lost some niggas to these streets, and I'm still tripping

All my niggas real shooters, real headhunters

We done had this shit lit for about ten summers

Yeah, Louis frames on my face, I see this shit clear

A lot of bloodshed behind this gang shit, this shit serious

Pull up in the Cap, make it drift fast, in the furious

I'm only cheating on my bitch with bad bitches, period

Had a talk with T.O. about a lot of shit, we grown now

They been fiendin' for that gang shit, it's back on now

In 2016, that's when we dropped hits and broke out

10 years later, back in arena, sold out

1200 for my shoes, 100-plus for my jewelry

Fucking with them niggas, drop a 100-plus on that dooley

Came in M6, pulled off, did a 100-plus in a coupe

A nigga dropping anything I throw up, trying to make the news

Niggas getting smacked, nigga

We the ones getting on and getting back, nigga

Bouncing out of something big body like I'm Shaq, nigga

On my SOB, RBE shit, that's a fact, nigga

Yeah, been that, nigga

Know the world been waiting long time coming

What I spent on arm, spent 15 on it

Know you heard niggas talk, but they ain't know nothing

It was just me and my brothers when we had nothing

Niggas wanna see us lose, but we still winning

Lost some niggas to these streets, and I'm still tripping

All my niggas real shooters, real headhunters

We done had this shit lit for about ten summers
