Vado hook: what you know about grinding to the sun up
trying to get your ones up
got to stay down to you come up
before you start looking like a come up
let a N*** run up
guns start swinging like a nun chuck
what you know about grinding to the sun up
trying to get your ones up

got to stay down to you come up
before you start looking like a come up
let a N*** run up
guns start swinging like a nun chuck

Smoke Dza first verse: you know im off the dutches
pounds in the cubet you know only god can judge us you know i got it covered
sippin on brown water 5 pound order
got me ready to run out the stoop
my other man say he coming for 2 its a good day
make it move like a earner should true
bustin chops on a google line
whats a good hustler you define
N*** coping work off his 2-9
32 for one 35 maybe im like what drought N*** serching crazy
dont cop from strangers need collateral
fucking around off desperation N*** would hit you with some rabbit food
classic lo piece got it from thirst
duck had double r denim going to work
you on instagram think you important
fucking bum you sweat the bitch i curve the bitch she annoying

Vado hook: what you know about grinding to the sun up
trying to get your ones up
got to stay down to you come up
before you start looking like a come up
let a N*** run up
guns start swinging like a nun chuck
what you know about grinding to the sun up
trying to get your ones up
got to stay down to you come up
before you start looking like a come up
let a N*** run up
guns start swinging like a nun chuck

vado verse: im the last dragon shells fly when gats blastin
hoping they'll go over ya head like cast caption
opening up right here we past asking
playa every game i played i had baskets
like 40 sweat suite lite nauti

when im in the streets police be type on me
said i stayed mix in beef like rice roni
i dont joc that what i wear you cop that
talk swagger i got that sour packer you block that
where the bloc at dope fiends and roc at
where i use to roc at s.p. in my roc hat
like im fresh up off the short bus
tryna be for sure'd up
for the long run not a short cut

makin sure we for sure'd up
royal walk shawl'd up bunch hoes AL.B. sure'd up
