Kill or be killed

Kill or be killed
Savages

Kill or be killed
They know that we're savages
Know that we're cold
We come from the road
We never go broke or we're digging for gold
We're digging for gold
Not only did she wanna know
She wanted to roll
She's getting down with the gang on the low
Down with the gang on the low

Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay

No fuckboys in my section
Nothing but cacao in my complexion
Don't you know I got diamonds in my Rolex
And we're not gonna sleep nigga that's no rest
I'm a wee bit of faded and wavey
I got the bangers where the mash is, its gravy
Wanna drink from my table then pay me
Th-th-that bitch is shady
Th-th-that bitch can persuade me
She says she knows who I am
'Cause she's seen my face on the 'Gram
She did have a man but he's gone
Somebody pass me the Don Perignon
Can you pass me the Don Perignon
I made money from drugs
Made money from drugs
I was mixing the dust with the buds
Mixing the dust with the buds
The money was good
All the money was good
Money was the only good thing in the hood
The only good thing in the hood

They know that we're savages
Know that we're cold
We come from the road
We never go broke or we're digging for gold
We're digging for gold
Not only does she wanna know
She wanted to roll
She's getting down with the gang on the low
Down with the gang on the low

Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay

I'm faded she noticed
I needed a song for the roadies
I'm famous he's lonely
Don't let him pretend that he knows me
Why they so nosy
They wish they could phone me
I bang it in
I'm a striker she's a goalie
She eat it up like I'm Rollie Pollie
If you wanna take it off you better hit the switch
I'm grabbin' her throat he's grabbin' my dick
And now this bitch's tryna bite my lip
Don't she know I'm a badboy I don't like to kiss
Shots of the platinum we hit the strip
Man don't play man are built for this
All my niggas looking Money Mitch
And I'm like the dark-skin version of Richie Rich

They know that we're savages
Know that we're cold
We come from the road
We never go broke or we're digging for gold
We're digging for gold
Not only does she wanna know
She wanted to roll
She's getting down with the gang on the low
Down with the gang on the low

Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay




Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
Don't you know we don't play-ay-ay-ay
