[English]

Uh

Ay

With them Percs, I pray the Lord don't take my soul (on God)

Every time I go through -, I get right back in that mode (za)

I faced all my problems head up, you know I'm a soldier (you know I'm a soldier)

Like -, gotta run my bread up, I'm back on the road (uh)

If I touch a mic ten times, -, that's the M on shows (M on shows)

Every day I'm poppin' out fly, I spend a M on clothes (I spend it on clothes, phew)

Even though I'm spiralin' out my mind, I ain't spendin' - on a ho (ain't spendin' - on a ho)

Heard - talk down on Herbo like I ain't did - for the bro (what?)

Like I ain't spend a M on the bros (huh?)

Like I ain't put on for the block (huh?), coulda bought another watch, but I spent it on bowls (uh)

Like I ain't make it happen when a - got shot, got in traffic tryna even the score

Like I ain't hit - OGs when they was in need, don't nobody know (you know that)

Like Sleeze won't let me jump in with a Glock in a ski 'cause he know I'll blow (he know I'll blow)

Like Wop won't hit my line when the bricks outside 'cause he know where I'll go (he already know)

Like Drench wasn't witnessin' his Big Cuz goin' on missions, he know I ain't fold (I ain't never fold)

Like Dank ain't run up a milli' from practicin' all the - that I showed him

Like Big Opp ain't go from savage to rapper from listenin' to what I told him

I'm still stickin' to the code, tryna get a win (no bap)

I'm comin' right back off a win, tryna win again (tryna win again)

I need mercy on my soul 'cause I live in sin (live in sin)

I had real friends switch on me for dividends (damn)

I'm still stickin' to the code, tryin' get a win (uh-huh, get a win)

I'm comin' right back off a win, tryna win again (win again, let's go)

I need mercy on my soul 'cause I live in sin (live in sin, uh)

I had real friends switch on me for dividends

I'm grateful for my fans, I started rappin' in 2010

Got turnt, I went up ten, I'm tryna run up ten again (yeah)

I grew up gangsta, wanna be a businessman like 50 Cent

Got labels askin' about my masters 'cause I got 50 percent (phew)

Right now I'm ventin', I'm sayin' some - I thought I'd never admit (never admit)

Made my first M, got down to my last 10K, I'll never forget (I'll never forget)

Judge had me stuck in the 'Raq, I was post-traumatic, got caught with a blick (caught with a blick)

Me and Oz put in 'em hours, I dropped my album and went up six

Seen the Reaper was runnin' with killers on hits, didn't repeat, I ain't repent (I ain't repent)

I was built for this, took a loss, my problems got knee-deep, but I ain't quit (I ain't quit)

And my heart too big, let - take advantage of me, try and make us legit (try and make us legit)

I kicked it, but I'm in so much pain, I relapse back on the kick (back on the kick), damn

I'm still stickin' to the code, tryin' get a win (yeah)

I'm comin' right back off a win, tryna win again (yeah, yeah)

I need mercy on my soul 'cause I live in sin

I had real friends switch on me for dividends (dividends)

I'm still stickin' to the code, tryin' get a win (uh)

I'm comin' right back off a win, tryna win again (G-Herbo)

I need mercy on my soul 'cause I live in sin (live in sin)

Key Grammar Structures

• With them Percs, I pray the Lord don't take my soul (on God)

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (don't take) after 'pray'

  ➔ The use of 'don't take' is not a simple negation of 'take'. It expresses a wish or a prayer, a desire for something *not* to happen. This is typical of the subjunctive mood following verbs expressing wishes, hopes, or fears. The phrase 'pray the Lord **don't** take my soul' indicates a plea.

• Every time I go through -, I get right back in that mode (za)

  ➔ Use of 'every time' as a conjunction introducing a time clause.

  ➔ The phrase 'every time' functions as a subordinating conjunction, connecting the clause 'I go through -' to the main clause 'I get right back in that mode'. It indicates that the action of returning to a certain state happens *each* time the preceding action occurs.

• Like -, gotta run my bread up, I'm back on the road (uh)

  ➔ Use of 'gotta' as a contraction of 'got to', expressing obligation.

  ➔ 'Gotta' is a colloquial contraction of 'got to', indicating a necessity or obligation. In this context, it means the speaker *must* increase their earnings ('run my bread up'). It's a common feature of informal speech and rap lyrics.

• I'm still stickin' to the code, tryna get a win

  ➔ Use of 'stickin'' as a present continuous form with a colloquial spelling.

  ➔ The use of 'stickin'' instead of 'sticking' is a common feature of AAVE (African American Vernacular English) and is frequently found in rap lyrics. It maintains the continuous aspect of the verb, indicating an ongoing adherence to 'the code'.
