Workin' on millions to get my mom right out the hood
They been askin' for Actavis, colour of amethyst
They heard that I'm sippin' good
Nah, I quit all that shit right before my good homie passed
Coulda been me in the wood
So I'm pouring out Henny and smokin' on homegrown
Just like my brother fuckin' would
They think that I'm still on the dope
They think that I'm still on the dope
They think that I'm still on the dope
I pour it out and watch em choke
