Look a nigga in the eye as I notice the fear

All I do is sit back and think with a 40 beer
And you gotta feel the funk
While the bass plays loud boomin' all in your damn trunk

Fuck them lames, keep it mothafuckin' G
(Ayy, young blood) nigga, I'ma tell you
Like a mothafuckin' G told me
(Ayy, young blood) stay true to yourself
Everyday, low-mothafuckin'-key




(Ayy, young blood) 'cause at the end of the day
Fuck what you say, nigga, I'ma keep it G (uh, uh, uh)
