You can't slip na, keep that glizzy tucked
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up (Yeah, Yeah)
I can't tell you why they hate on us yeah
I don't trip na, run that money up yeah
You can't slip na, keep that glizzy tucked yeah
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up yeah
I'm on my grind and I ain't stopping til I'm lit
In other words I ain't stopping til I'm rich
Buku money in my pocket need that ice all on my wrist
Need to holla at the youngins I been dropping buku hits yeah
I can't tell you why they hate on me yeah yeah
All I ever did was keep it G yeah yeah
I just lost another one of mines
On top of that my main nigga just went fed
I got murder on my mind but I'm a good nigga at heart
I be smiling all the time but me and the devil we at war
My brother was crusing through Scotland they put 7 in his car look
Ain't no going back them niggas took that shit too far
I shine bright even when it's dark cus nigga I'm a star
G-Bleezy called my phone and say I need to cop a rod
Ain't no capping in my raps I'm from the soul in every bar
Even if the whip ain't got seatbelts we strapped up in this car yeah yeah
I can't tell you why they hate on us
I don't trip na, run that money up
You can't slip now, keep that glizzy tucked
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up (Yeah, Yeah)
I can't tell you why they hate on us yeah
I don't trip na, run that money up yeah
You can't slip now, keep that glizzy tucked yeah
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up yeah
Tunnel vision lately been on go mode
Catch me slipping riding without it that's a no no
Been focused on my self that money help enhance my mojo
I'm on top of my game I just might Heisman in my photo
I told my dog I got him even if it cost the breath of me
They laughed when I was down when I turn up keep that same energy
Cut off some hoes all the fake love was my worst enemy
It's sad to say some of my dogs had the same tendencies
Treat them like I got amnesia
Young nigga from the slums with a heart of gold like I'm from Egypt
Protected by them ghetto angels I don't see no evil
When coming up my role models was a bit deceitful
I hit my knees and bow my head pray I don't meet the reaper
They called and said Dundray was dead the pain keep running deeper
My nigga Jarrid got hit with lead look how the streets will treat ya
My shorty blessed me with a daughter I think it changed my life
Was in that jungle tryna shine like some headlights
I can't tell you why they hate on us
I don't trip na, run that money up
You can't slip now, keep that glizzy tucked
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up (Yeah, Yeah)
I can't tell you why they hate on us yeah
I don't trip na, run that money up yeah




You can't slip now, keep that glizzy tucked yeah
I'm on my grind, I ain't stopping til I'm up yeah
