Eyes stayed red with a head full of pony

Always jokin, sayin she wish she could clone me
She would frequently joke about wanting to duplicate me.

Actin all friendly, I hooked her up with Henny
She portrayed a friendly demeanor, so I introduced her to the alcoholic beverage Hennessy.

Later, she informed me and Foul (likely another person or group) to come out of town.

This bitch gotta twist up and hit
This woman needs to roll and smoke a joint.

Aiin't that some shit, I gotta ask, ain't that a bitch
