You know I've been working all night long
I'm just hoping that it works out
I'm hoping that it works out
I'm trying to be what I wanna be
Cause you know imma get it
1 2 3 4 5 6 digits in my bank account
Nigga you know that I'm finna flip it
But am I really livin

Yeah fuck that imma take the meds
I feel like Uzi all my friends are dead
I got the love scars like I'm Trippie Redd

Slidin through like I'm Goku
Niggas really talkin I don't know you
You weren't fucking with me so I had to show you
Hittin on your phone imma slide through
If you with it all my niggas come and ride too
You've been on my brain I think that I like you
Slidin through like I'm Goku
Slidin through like I'm Goku

Yeah she a hot piece of ass
But a nigga been focused man I'm tryna get the cash

Shoutout B.J the legend in OT that's the trap
In the Lonestar twisted teas put that on my tab
Hit the plug roll it up nigga take a drag
I ain't focused on no bitches I just really want the bag
Get drunk niggas move slow like we lag
This a battle of the gods
Shout out to the niggas in OT that's the squad

Playin hot potato imma drop it like it's hot
That girl tryna talk to me I swear that she a thot

And you know I'm from the Ville but my name is not Brock
You know that I'm in the hills nigga imma milly rock

I got the love scars like I'm Trippie Redd

Slidin through like I'm Goku
Niggas really talkin I don't know you
You weren't fucking with me so I had to show you
Hittin on your phone imma slide through
If you with it all my niggas come and ride too
You've been on my brain I think that I like you

Slidin through like I'm Goku
Slidin through like I'm Goku
