Laws pull up I’m a hot boy fuck yo Freeze nigga
Act tough now but you can’t go to war wit me nigga
You wanna do music wit a real nigga ain’t nun wrong wit a fee nigga

Goofy ass bitch think I’m ballin illegal
Her auntie was crack head n she blame all her people

They tried to ban me from cyphers cuz my bars was to lethal

Act tough now but you can’t go to war wit me nigga
You wanna do music wit a real nigga ain’t nun wrong wit a fee nigga
My bitch think I fucked the beat it ain’t what it seem nigga
Gotta go up get a whole team nigga
This that boss up music a bitch can b her own daddy

These bitches say I’m fly cuz I’m fly like Aladdin
My mama play da lotto I been itchin for havin
He hit so many licks he lick the rapper a no cappin
Stay way from fugazy I’m gon juke you like madden
