Yeah

When Its On You Better, Get Get G-Get Get Down!

Get Get G-Get Get Down!

I Pull Out You Better, Get Down!
I Let Off You Better, Get Down!

Get Get G-Get Get Down! Get Get G-Get Get Down!

When Its On You Better, Get Down!

I Pull Out You Better, Get Down!

It Might Take Seven Days And Six Nights Before I Get Right

I Get Comfy And I Lean On Them Put That Beam On Them

You Probably Heard Mase Try To Join The Team

Cause Puff Was To Busy Sellin Pimple Cream

The Perfume Is Next With Maybelline

Or Dance Next To Joc To Try And Get Hot

This Is The Quiet Before The Storm, The Warning Before Its On

50 Back On That Shit, 50 Finna To Flip

They Dont Do It Like This Concentrate On The Wrists

I Got See-Through Rocks On The Kroto-Swiss

I Got Rich Real Quick Now Im Sippin On Cris

Its T - O - N - Y, G-Unit Is The Clique

When Im About To Click (Gun Cock) Thats The Hammer On The Pound

So Ya Better Get Get G-Get Down!

On The Greyhound And Now Im On The Run

Cause I Aint Goin Down For No Damn Murder One!

When I Roll Through The Hood Man Its All Good

These Hoes Get Down When I Show Em My Wood

Niggas Get Down Cause They Knowin They Should

When Them Things Spit Rounds They Flow Through The Hood

If You's A Hard Nigga You Feelin You Gotta Proof It

I Run With The Unit, Please Man Dont Do It

Act Tough Now You Have To Duck Down

You Hit The Lotto Last Week You Out Of Luck Now Nigga!

I Kiss Money, Money I Got

The Strawberry Daquiri The Same Colour The Drop

You Can See A Nigga Clear When I Put Down The Top

Sunlight Hit The Watch You See The Shit Down The Block

Any Bright Colour Vs, My Shit Right

My Shits Is Diamonds, Yours Bouts And Knights -???

I Know Your Plan Was To Fake It Till You Make It





But Ima Blow Your Ass Up And Thats All The Shit
