[English]

Please, oh yes

Please, oh yes

Please, oh yes

Please, oh yes, okay

Please, no gas

Please, no gas

Please, no gas

Please, no gas

Look, man, they have the same talk every year

They're just talking while I'm working

I earned all this for my crew

I put ice on the studded pendant

Put my trophy on the table, another hotel lobby room

My photo on the billboard, my contract

Poster on your wall, lace underwear

I know you feel comfortable

High life, I master this game

Trap life, money in the outfit

From Off-White, if every minute is a highlight

I'm living life to the fullest

As she knows, no one does it better (Facts)

Every detail, I already know by heart (Facts)

With all due respect, no one compares (Brr)

There's no stopping him, the kid is ruthless

Oh, yes

Please, oh, yes

Please, oh, yes

Everything I wanted, I'm proud to have today

Please, no gas

Please, oh, yeah

Please, no gas, enjoying everything I wanted to get

Ay, I smoke the skunk, I smoke it 'til the end

It's not bad, I live like this, okay, okay

Please, no gas, please, okay, no gas

Straight from the block, the joint is gray, she's in a tee

Gray Porsche, she doesn't tell me when she leaves

Away from home because of a message

I didn't delete the photos, I didn't turn the page

I only know my truth, I don't have phases

I don't wear a mask

She's a woman of phases, and I'm a man who walks on the grass

First class, clothes off, I'm already in the booth

Please, oh, yes

I'm keeping the faith

No, it's not, I need to hustle

Please, oh, yes

Please, oh, yes

Everything I wanted, I'm proud to have today

Please, no gas

Please, oh, yeah

Please, no gas, enjoying everything I wanted to get

[Portuguese]

Pleas, oh yes

Pleas, oh yes

Pleas, oh yes

Pleas, oh yes, okay

Pleas, no gas

Pleas, no gas

Pleas, no gas

Pleas, no gas

Olha, mano, esses tá com a mesma conversa todo ano

Esses fugido tão falando e eu trabalhando

Essa merda, eu farmei toda pro meu bando

Joguei neve no pingente cravejado

Joga na mesa o meu troféu, mais um quarto lobby do hotel

Minha foto no painel, meu contrato

Poster na tua parede, calcinha de renda

Sei que você fica à vontade

Highlife, eu domino o assunto

Traplife, notas no conjunto

Da Off-White, se cada minuto é um highlight

Eu tô vivendo a fundo

Como ela sabe, ninguém faz melhor (Facts)

Cada detalhe, eu já sei de cor (Facts)

Com todo respeito, não tem pra ninguém (Brr)

Não tem mais jeito, o pivete tá sem dó

Oh, yes

Pleas, oh, yes

Pleas, oh, yes

Tudo que eu quis, eu me orgulho hoje de obter

Pleas, no gas

Pleas, oh, yeah

Pleas, no gas, usufruindo do que eu quis obter

Ay, fumo do skunk, fumo até o fim

Não é ruim, vivo assim, okay, okay

Pleas, no gas, pleas, okay, no gas

Straight from a block, o beck vem cinza, ela de T

Porsche cinza, ela não me avisa quando vai

Embora de casa por causa de uma mensagem

Eu não apaguei as foto, não virei a página

Só sei minha verdade, eu não tenho fases

Não uso máscara

Ela é uma mulher de fases e eu sou um homem que pisa na grama

Classe A, roupa afora, eu já entrei na cabine

Pleas, oh, yes

Tô na fé

Não, não tá, preciso correr

Pleas, oh, yes

Pleas, oh, yes

Tudo que eu quis, eu me orgulho hoje de obter

Pleas, no gas

Pleas, oh, yeah

Pleas, no gas, usufruindo do que eu quis obter
