You should never argue with
A crazy mind-mind-mind-mind-mind-mind

Is that all you get for your money?
You should never argue with

You oughta know by now (You oughta know by–)
You ought know by now
Oh, you oughta know by now, man

Now when the beats on, Santana gone ride out
Car still rollin', hop out, Glock out like
You should never argue with
A crazy mind-mind-mind-mind-mind-mind
Then I shoot ya, hop back in the manoeuvre
The V off skiied off while I'm yellin' out
You oughta know by now
Don't make me spell it out
I'll push ya melon out
Then get back to the block
The packies that rock baggies and tops uh
Shit I'll slap it or not? Fuck it man
Is that all you get for your money?
Thats what I tell em' man i'm a selfish man

Once again uh not a penny more
Not anymore I'll let this
Semi poor shots in your memory core
(You should never argue

Hey yo I'm goin to town
Blowin' it down smokin a pound Now
(You ought-a know by now)
That the kid is just hungry
Give up a twenty Now
(Is that all you get for your money?)
Fifty mil I feel is reachin my quota
Any beef n it's over i'm real subtle
Put bleach in ya soda
So don't make me have to put
Your teeth in your shoulder
Doped up dope feen fell asleep in the cobra
(You should never argue
Wit a crazy mi mi mi mi mind
You ought-a know by now
Is that all you get for your money?)
Big jewels and they iced out
Nice trucks Big rims piped out
I see the wife out she hoped in
I hoped and then hoped right now
Thats what my life 'bout
I get head with the lights on, lights out
I used to drop Lewinsky off
At the White House

Come check out your boy
Still poppin', still rockin', still watchin'
(You ought-a know by now)
I still got it, yeah still grindin'
Still pitchin' that Phyllis Hyman

Yeah you dipshit's is still on my hit list
Still play lotto, win fast, still
On my quick pic, yeah
Still tryin to get rich quick, yeah

I’m still tryin to hit chicks with stiff dick
(You ought-a know by now)
I’m ‘bout big chips, yes true grandma
This is the zoo, i’m the zoo keeper
He zoolander
Apes, wolfes, gorillas, a few pandas
Got two hammers coming to shoot grandma
(You should never argue with a crazy
Mi mi mi mi mind)




We the crazy motherfuckers
Three-eighty years daisy, motherfucker
