Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
[Verse 2]
Young brother poppin', pocket full of cottage
Whoa kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin'
Had to cop the Audi then the top I had to chop it
We were pocket watchin' so I had to keep the rocket
[Verse 3]
Neck water faucet, Mockingbirds mockin'
Act pint stockin', nats keep thottin'
Wrist on hockey, wrist on rocky
Lotta people copy, ain't nobody who can stop me
Bitches call me papi, yeah that's my hobby
Scotty on the molly, pocket rocket from O'Reily
One off in the chamber ain't no need for me to cock it
People get to droppin' when the Draco get to poppin'
[Verse 4]
All I want is cottage, a cigar full of broccoli
No check, want the cash, brother, I don't do deposits
Bitches cross the border, bitches from the tropics
I'ma get that bag, brotha, ain't no doubt about it
I'ma feed my family, yeah, ain't no way around it
Ain't never gon' let up, God said show my talent
Boy with the Anna, walkin' with the hammer
Talking country grammar, boy, straight north Atlanta
[Verse 5]
Young brother poppin', pocket full of cottage
Whoa kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin'
Had to cop the Audi then the top I had to chop it
People pocket watchin' so I gotta keep the rocket
[Verse 6]
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
[Verse 7]
1995, 2005
Seen it with my eyes, dope still alive
Real mob ties, real frog eyes
Real whole pies, all time high
Do it for the culture
They gon' bite like vultures
Way back when I was trappin' out Toyotas
I'ma hit the gas 12 can't pull me over
Space coupe, Quavo Yoda, pourin' drank in sodas
[Verse 8]
I get high on my own, sir, heard you gon' clone sir
Stop all that flexin', young boy don't wanna go there
Never been a gopher, always been a soldier
Young boys in the cut, they be postin' like a vulture
Divin' off the stage in the crowd, it's a mosh pit
Yeah shawty bad, but she broke cause she don't own shit
Mama asked me, "Son, when the trappin' gon' quit?"
I've been ridin' through the city in my new Benz
[Verse 9]
Young brother poppin', pocket full of cottage
Whoa kemosabe, chopper aimin' at your noggin'
Had to cop the Audi then the top I had to chop it
People pocket watchin' so I gotta keep the rocket
[Verse 10]
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
Mama told me not to sell work
Seventeen fire, same color t shirt
