A. R. Ammons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They call me the youngest headbuster walkin'
Thugged out and all black calicole sparklin'
A guerilla till I die bless me when I'm dead
But for the bread I bring ya anybody head
That's how I play it I don't hold back
I told Dancer be on the spot were ya sold crack
nigga feel played, they step up and get blown back
I burn 'em twice with a black rusty old Mag
Now block a nigga, get off me

Get some off that, buy the weed and blow that bitch up
Won't play with me, like I'ma choke that bitch up
Keep it on the turf, I might be killin' to get mine
New prints on the back, I make a million big time
I'll always be a thug, until I'm trippin' and crazy
I'ma always stay close with Suga Slim, Wayne and Baby
Runnin' with a team off cut-throats and backsliders
All day bullshittin', necklaces and homicides

Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit

Thugged Out, Cash Money, ha
Bg, Juvenile ain't funny ha
We try to, get that paper like Bugs Bunny ha
Yo we in the projects with my little honey ha
Yo what up Kiko, it get's real frantic
We got's this, chicks to slauve, that right outta Kansas
Ayo, them college bitches
We used to fuck 'em on campus
You my roley, ha, ha
I'm your roley, ha, ha
Fuck with us, you think a nigga fuckin' holy, ha
Semi, Latin cruise, down in Baton Rouge
Then I, got a Hummer that's sittin' on 32's
But for the hood, we got the eastcoast locked
Magnolia and Iraq, now that's my spots
Come anywhere near there and still be shot
Prat niggas, shot niggas, shot niggas, shot niggas
Shot, shot

Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit
Cash Money niggas, they don't play that shit
Thugged Out niggas, we don't play that shit

From NY to NO, Thugged Out and Cash Money

We eatin' pop doubly and beef, we pop dummies
Run up in hood honey's, it's all good sunny
Throw your sets up nigga

Stay fly young nigga
Do what you gotta, survive young nigga

Live we fly down in New Orleans

Weeds get blazed from your face till feet
With us all we stay deep, got beef we're surroundin'
My niggas cock back Mags from here to sum the houses
