Quotable Lyrics:
A dirty thirty, I hit it like Curry, they hit me, I don’t even holler (Don’t even holler)
These n****s songs floppin’, n****s ain’t gon’ stop him (Songs floppin’, gon’ stop him)
Switch out my cars and my addy, my family straight and that’s all that matter (Yeah, all that)
Stackin’ them racks in the safe and prepare for whatever, whenever it happеn (Whenever it happеn)
I put my trust in my faith, when I’m walking through straight, I don’t see no one else (See no one else)
No, it ain’t Lauren, it’s Raff Simons, it’s Vetements steps (Lauren, it’s Raf, Vetements steps)
