Stay Fly
8Ball Lyrics

I gotta stay fly, until I die
I must maintain my cool and stylish demeanor for the rest of my life.

Call me the juice and you know I'm a stunt
Refer to me as the man who always impresses others with his fame and fortune.

Ride in the car with some bump in the trunk
I am cruising in a vehicle with loud, thumping music in the rear compartment.

Tone in my lap and you know it's the pump
I always have a gun with me for my protection and to instill fear in those who oppose me.

Breakin' down the good weed rollin' the blunt
I am separating the high-quality cannabis leaves from the stems and then rolling them into a cigar-like smoking device.

Ghetto pimp tight girls say I'm the man
Ladies in the urban community who engage in prostitution admire and respect me for my confidence, power, and influence.

Ice on the wrist with the ice in the chains
I am wearing luxury jewelry that includes both a watch and a necklace that are studded with diamonds.

Ridin' through the hood got me grippin' the grain
I am driving in the impoverished neighborhood with both hands firmly grasping the steering wheel of a fancy, high-end car.

And I'm sippin' the same while I'm changin' the lanes
I am drinking out of the same bottle while switching lanes in my car.

Eyes real tight 'cause I'm chokin' the creep
My eyes are almost closed because I am smoking marijuana and coughing hard.

Vision messed up 'cause I'm drinkin' the lean
My eyesight is affected as a result of me drinking a mixture of cough syrup and soda that has codeine and promethazine, which produces a euphoric high.

Messin' with D boys ridin' them big toys
I am involved in criminal activities by dealing with drug dealers and riding in expensive cars that may have been acquired in an illegal manner.

Make your main gal wanna get on my team
My charismatic nature and outgoing personality have the ability to make a woman who is already taken develop feelings for me.

She gotta give it up before she get in my car
If a woman wants to ride with me, she must be willing to engage in sexual activity with me.

I ain't Denzel but I know I'm a star
I do not have the looks of Denzel Washington, but I am still famous and respected in my community.

'Cause when I'm in the club I be back in the far
Whenever I go to a club, I usually sit in the VIP section, which is located far in the back of the establishment.

In the VIP part everybody in the bar
Everyone in the club stares in my direction when I am in the VIP area.

DJ Paul is a dog one you do not trust
DJ Paul is not trustworthy and should be avoided.

You leave your green around me Nigga your green gonna get lit up
If you leave your marijuana near me, I am going to use it all.

You leave your drink around me Believe your drink gonna get drunk up
If you forget your drink next to me, I am going to finish it without asking you first.

You leave your girl around me And she bad she gonna get stuffed
If you allow your attractive girlfriend to be alone with me, I am going to try to have sex with her.

These niggas is spies we livin' it live keep them nice tires
Some individuals may be informants, but we continue living our lives and maintaining extravagant cars.

Ridin' around what they like Make a couple of nuns a couple of dimes
We drive around with what we like, and we earn plenty of money doing so.

It's purple purp purple purp purple and swallow it down With the yurple yip yurple yip yurples, it's goin' down!
We smoke and ingest cannabis that's high quality, and it's making us feel great.

Puff puff pass nigga roll that blunt Let's get high nigga smoke us one
Let's smoke marijuana together and enjoy the feeling of being high.

Car pull out the phantom Niggas can't stand it but them hoes gon' come out
We come out of the car that is a Rolls-Royce that many people envy, and girls will flock towards us.

Just really wanna smoke my weed Fuck these hoes and stack my cheese
I prefer to have the peace of mind and relaxation that weed brings, and I don't want to be bothered by women unless they bring me financial benefits.

Stop at the light and pause on 3 Hit the mall and it be all on me
We slow down when approaching stoplights, but once we get to the mall, I know I can freely spend the money I have without any issues.

But gotta keep one eye out for the po-po
We always need to be aware of the police and what they might do if they catch us doing something illegal.

Close the window when I roll the indo
I need to make sure the smoke from the marijuana joint does not escape the vehicle.

Know they mad 'cause I roll the Benzo
People might be infuriated with me because I am driving a luxury car that they cannot afford.

It's that purple not pretend-o
The marijuana we are smoking is real and high quality.

Three 6 Mafia and they my kin folks
My music group is Three 6 Mafia, and the other group members are like family to me.

So when I'm in Memphis, Ten-a-key I just might not bring my own
When I go to Memphis, I don't need to bring my own marijuana because others will let me smoke for free.

'Cause them niggas still let me smoke for free
I am given access to free marijuana when visiting a certain location.

What's up Mary (How you doin'?) Mary Jane (Stanky nigga)
I am greeting my trusty companion, marijuana, but giving it a humorous nickname to express my fondness for it.

Since I have met you girl you ruined my brain (Ruined my brain)
Ever since I first smoked marijuana, it has negatively impacted my cognitive ability.

You stole my heart (You stole my heart) Right from the start (Right from the start)
Marijuana has taken over my heart and my life from the moment I first used it.

So I broke you down lil mama and hit you in the dark (hit you in the dark)
I broke down the cannabis and then smoked it when no one was watching.

Front row full of that dro' Leave the club full of rolls 8 mo
We sit in the front row of the club and smoke premium cannabis before leaving with rolls of money.

Yo girlfriend wanna ride with me In the car wit a pimp where she supposed ta be
Your girlfriend would rather be with me in my luxurious car, as I am a pimp and have more to offer.

You ain't met no dudes spittin' cold as me With a bag of kush that cost six-fifty
You have not encountered anyone who raps as skillfully as me while having expensive marijuana.

Have a nigga who smoke Reggie Miller Coughin' and choking constantly
Someone is smoking low-quality marijuana, and they are experiencing a lot of coughing and discomfort.

Tastes like fruit when you hit it Gotta have bread to get it
The marijuana we are smoking tastes delicious but is expensive and not easy to obtain.

Smoke all night, sleep all day That should be the American way
I believe Americans should be able to smoke marijuana all night and sleep throughout the day without being judged.

Roll that shit, light that shit, Hit that shit, hold that shit, Blow that shit out slow Then pass it to me bro
The proper method for smoking marijuana is to roll it, light it, inhale it, hold it in your lungs, exhale it slowly, and then pass it to the next person.

MJ gonna sprinkle in some of that Super incredible, leave a nigga runnin' back Where the nigga really good sticky number at
I am going to add some high-quality marijuana to what we are already smoking, which will leave us feeling energized and excited.

Cuttin' through the cigarillo like a lumberjack
I am cutting the cigarillo in half quickly and efficiently, as if I were chopping wood like a lumberjack.

In the morning what I need is to breath again a whole lot of weed But maybe somebody can give me what I need when I want no less than the best of the trees
I crave more marijuana first thing in the morning and only desire the finest quality products.

DJ Paul and Juicy J, 8-ball and M-J-G And Young Buck we don't give a fuck We must represent this Tennessee
My group, along with fellow Tennessee rapper Young Buck, will proudly represent our state and not worry about what anyone else thinks.

We drink a whole lot of Hennessey Nigga got a little hair on his chest
We consume a large amount of Hennessy cognac, which can make one feel empowered.

And we be like Bill Clinton girl take it out ya mouth We'll shoot it down right on yo chest
We make vulgar, sexual comments to women that reference former President Bill Clinton while also threatening to ejaculate on their chests.

I gotta stay fly, until I die
I must always stay stylish and fashionable until the day I die.
