Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take grams of coke,
Mix it with lactose, that's what I do!
Stretch
I make a ounce a dope
With like a eighth of dope, befo' I'm through!
Product stretch
I got it mastered man
In the hood I'm like plastic man!
Stretch
Fantastic man,
I make the money come faster man!
Yeah

Your favorite bad guy's gone, The Joker's dead
So for now 'til forever you're stuck with the kid
I ain't supposed to be a boss, I'm supposed to be an enforcer
I'm supposed to hold a gun, not be stuck in an office
Michael pimped me? I was in the passenger seat
We was comfortable with me 'round, cause I blast my heat
94' I was trying to catch Mason for bricks raw
Charlie fucked up the jux, they took no orders little boy, stretch
The cocaine, I go hard when the drought come
When the straps come out, son, niggas know the outcome
Lay low, stay low, you may see Jesus
You hit with a stray, yo, for no fucking reason
You praying for a Benz, it's a blessing you breathing
It's a miracle that God gave me this TEC, now I'm eating
Cop it, chop it, profit, it's all for sale
Cocaine, candy rain, I'm so for real, yeah

I take grams of coke,
Mix it with lactose, that's what I do!
Stretch
I make a ounce a dope
With like a eighth of dope, befo' I'm through!
Product stretch
I got it mastered man
In the hood I'm like plastic man!
Stretch
Fantastic man,
I make the money come faster man!
Yeah

I'm the dope-man, coke-man, smoke-man, whatever-man
The X-man, TEC-man, you better respect, man
Get the green, triple beam, inf' beam, murder scheme
Fiend, morphine, dream, codeine, more lean
Gun pop, one shot, body drop, it wasn't me
Tell the cops it wasn't me, you saw me right? It wasn't me
It's not my M.O., see me I make it stretch
Get in the way I put a body on my TEC
Call me crazy, I die for what I stand for
I have ammo flying out the Lambo
Like Commando, nah, like Rambo
I keep my cool as long as the fucking grams go
Wooptee-woo, I'm a Chef like Rae
It's hot in here, I'm by the stove cooking crack all day, stretch
We gon' bag up all night
We ain't goin' nowhere 'til the count bag right, yeah

I take grams of coke,
Mix it with lactose, that's what I do
Stretch
I make a ounce a dope
With like a eighth of dope, befo' I'm through
Product stretch
I got it mastered man
In the hood I'm like plastic man
Stretch
Fantastic man,
I make the money come faster man
Yeah

It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's pure cocaine
Trying to blow selling blow, I'm who you fuck with, man
I got Spiderman high, I made Batman fly
Your favorite hero took a hit, now here you try
I don't care if it's a sin, I don't care if you're ten
Look around kid, it's a cold world we're in
If you ask me my offer is extremely handsome
A little Charlie, Marley, a little bit of Manson
Yeah, me falling off is really far fetched
I turn a little to a lot, I make it stretch
In come the Franklin's then come the Benji's
Fiends by the crackhouse, dirty and dingy, yeah

I take grams of coke,
Mix it with lactose, that's what I do
Stretch
I make a ounce a dope
With like a eighth of dope, befo' I'm through
Product stretch
I got it mastered man
In the hood I'm like plastic man
Stretch




Fantastic man,
I make the money come faster man

I was in the passenger seat We was comfortable with me 'round, cause I blast my heat 94' I was trying to catch Mason for bricks raw Charlie fucked up the jux, they took no orders little boy, stretch
My previous boss is dead and now I'm in charge but I'm more of an enforcer than a boss. I'm not supposed to be in an office, I belong in the streets with my gun. In the past, I was involved in intense situations and was trusted because I am not afraid to use my weapon. I have a lot of experience, even from earlier times, but sometimes things go wrong in the drug business.


The cocaine, I go hard when the drought come When the straps come out, son, niggas know the outcome Lay low, stay low, you may see Jesus You hit with a stray, yo, for no fucking reason You praying for a Benz, it's a blessing you breathing It's a miracle that God gave me this TEC, now I'm eating Cop it, chop it, profit, it's all for sale Cocaine, candy rain, I'm so for real, yeah
If there is a shortage of cocaine, I work even harder to produce it. When violence arises, I know the outcome will not be good. It's crucial to stay away from danger to survive. You don't know if you'll be hit by a bullet, just like the value of life. It's amazing to have been given this weapon and ability to make a fortune. I obtain it, break it apart, and make a profit by selling it. This drug business is something I'm truly involved in, it's not a game.


I'm the dope-man, coke-man, smoke-man, whatever-man The X-man, TEC-man, you better respect, man Get the green, triple beam, inf' beam, murder scheme Fiend, morphine, dream, codeine, more lean Gun pop, one shot, body drop, it wasn't me Tell the cops it wasn't me, you saw me right?

I'm involved in many parts of the drug business and I'm not someone to mess with. I always have my mind on both making money and staying alive. If someone gets killed, it was not my intention and I will try and maintain my innocence. My goal in the drug business is to make more with less, as it increases the profit for me. If anyone tries to hurt me, I will put a bullet in them. I am crazy for what I stand for, and I am always prepared for danger. I always stay calm if I have a lot of cocaine to make everything stretch. I cook cocaine all day long, and it's just like cooking food to me.


We gon' bag up all night We ain't goin' nowhere 'til the count bag right, yeah
We will be working all throughout the night to bag and weigh drugs. We won't leave until the count is accurate.


It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's pure cocaine Trying to blow selling blow, I'm who you fuck with, man I got Spiderman high, I made Batman fly Your favorite hero took a hit, now here you try I don't care if it's a sin, I don't care if you're ten Look around kid, it's a cold world we're in If you ask me my offer is extremely handsome A little Charlie, Marley, a little bit of Manson Yeah, me falling off is really far fetched I turn a little to a lot, I make it stretch In come the Franklin's then come the Benji's Fiends by the crackhouse, dirty and dingy, yeah
Cocaine is like a superhero because of its purity and popularity. If you want to buy drugs, I'm the man to go to. Even superheroes aren't immune to drugs, and neither are you. This world is harsh and unforgiving, despite someone's age or morality. I think I offer a good price with a mixture of different drugs. It's unlikely that I will ever fall off and I am always able to make a surplus. I receive hundred-dollar and thousand-dollar bills when I sell drugs, even if it is in a dirty area.
