Gang
Shout-out all of the mandem
Yeah
Listen, yo
Listen
(Fanatics)
Ay, yo
Whys that, 'cause I knew how to trap first (Yeah)
I pick a pack up then I break a pack down (Pack down)
I always change my number when it makes a mad sound
Man I grew up in the area, give me goosebumps (Woo)
Different type of breed, I ainβ²t like these new punks (I'm not)
But you was out with a bitch on some loser shit
I was on the strip with them nits tryna move a brick (Yeah)
We ain't from east but we mash towns (Mash towns)
How you calling him a shooter, he ainβ²t clap rounds (Clap rounds)
I ainβ²t a preacher, I ain't tryna give a [?] (Iβ²m not)
I'm telling you my strips hot like whatβ²s that
Nigga hold brizzy for this lizzy now I [?]
Strizzy in the whizzy, 'cause I donβ²t know who's out for me (I don't)
The feds got my niggas faces in the β²matic
All they spent every summer in the trap, fuck a carnival (Yeah)
Niggas hate the truth β²cause the truth hurts (Let's go)
Stop bragging β²bout the past and do some new dirt
Niggas they ain't flyinβ² straight [?] an angle (An angle)
I never showed a bitch my yard or the bando
See Hitsquad in the ride and it's a problem (Problem)
My niggas go jail, land road and Iβ²ve got them
She ask me if I trap, everyday I tell her often
Write better work or I'm going back to Scotland
Yeah, man I'm flying up to Scotty
Back to the traphouse answering β²em hotties (Brr brr)
Food so peng want to fore in that buggy
And when you witβ² that white girl, you better do it properly
Told my niggas do more and just talk less (Talk less)
Cah these niggas talk 'nough and make no sense (They donβ²t)
Free my nigga [?] didn't get bell
All I know we made a killing when we went Wells (Yeah)
My lil niggas shit on a graveshift
Now heβ²s ringing down my phone for a [?] (Nah)
I told him this a traphouse, not a placement
And you gotta put a shift before a payment (Payment)
Hood bitches love me 'cause Iβ²m gangster but I'm classy (They do)
Niggas talking friends, he ain't never been my dargie
I was in the trap, with them old-school harachis (Yeah)
Niggas talking war, they ainβ²t even got an army (Nah)
