Hold up
Stop the music

And i’m not afraid to use it

Pull up on him have him saying hallelujah
Ain’t gone say it im gone up it & just do it
NIIKKEEEEE
Rock the glock witta white tee
Aye
Mind my business I be sipping on my tea
Hold up

Wait
Bitch listen
Gotta lie to bitches
Cause these bitches get to tripping
Gotta lotta bitches
Acting like i’m tryn get with em
Gotta lotta n*ggas
Acting like they gotta issue
I be honda bipping
Inna whip I gotta pistol
All my diamonds shining
You get blinded by the crystals
I’m the bomb like Osama
Bitch I been a missile
I be dripping
Copping Kappa
Y’all be cops and cappers
Y’all relaxing
I be spazzing
Im the rotten apple
Got ambition and motivation
A whole lotta of ammo
Like spaghetti I got them Os
You already know
The machete chopping the blow
It’s hard as ready yo

I’m on the radio
The confetti fell like the snow
She dancing for the dough
Aye

She a fuck you just for nothing
She a bitch
She act like she aint a trick

She hoppin in & out of whips

Act like he aint even know
She a smut
Taking pictures in your clothes
Shit aint goodie
Why she still rocking your hoodie
You a dummy
Got you out here looking funny
I aint cruddy
I aint gone say no names
Imma sip my tea
And imma just stay in my lane




Aint got alot to lose
But i gotta whole lot to gain
