Yeah

(Glitt, baow) yeah, yeah
Sheesh, baow, baow (what you be sayin?)
Sheesh, sheesh
Baow, gang (gang)
We flippin' babies, got crack like the eighties
I put my whole wrist in the spot (skrr, skrr)
Yeah, damn
I took a risk with the pot
I told that lady, she having my baby
I spent a whole brick on her watch, ayy
Thirty on me, I might pick me some roses
Might pull up, she loving me not, ayy
I told that nigga I roll with some killers
Don't push it, just know when to stop
And we hunt 'em down
Then we send some rounds, rounds we making it hot
I got some aim with this Draco, I blow it's loud, loud
He dead when he drop (baow, baow, baow, baow)
Big drip (baow), Fivey (Fivey), I'm tryna catch me a body
I know some niggas do killings and robberies
My shorty a bug, he geeking off molly
We turn it up, throw dubs in Follies
Foenem choppin' the brick like karate
I've been a goat, lil' bitch, ain't no probably
Heard he want smoke, lil' nigga no problem
My niggas ready for war
I make some millions but I need some more
Remember we slept on the floor
He get to tweaking, we kicking the door
Brand new mop, I'ma make it do chores
Stop all that talking, you making me bored
I keep that hammer on me like I'm Thor
We catch him outside he get blown off the porch
Gang (gang)
