Derb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the Burb hittin curbs
And buy when that occurs
My music's gonna splurge
Automatic causin havoc
Cause I caused a power surge
California wit da herb
H-Town wit da lean
These million dolla words got me on the big screen
I ain't gone lie
I'm in it till I die
So muthafuck you America's apple pie!
It's jus me and my styrofoam cup
Gone off that lean and a pocket fulla blunts
It's jus me and my styrofoam cup
Hoes say I'm so mean
Wit my niggas freestylin bout the same ol thing
See I flip what I got
Turn cold to hot
Twist the knot
Turn the block
Hell I hold the spot
Drop a line
Friend of mine
Put my word on the cut
You got the time
I got the pine




Plus the syrup in the cup
Get the soda the more

Dude's got the balls to name a song after himself. What a legend.

@Tam0de

Haha. I believe the term is 'eponymous'

HOLY SHIT!!! Took me over 15 years to find the name of this song. This is should replace Darude-Sandstorm and Kernkraft-Zombie Nation as the official default answer.
