Uh, yeah, I'm up in Dover Street Market (yeah)
And I took that ho, put her back on the market (oh, yeah)
And I drive the whip but lil′ bitch I can't park it (yeah)
She asked what I like, I told that bitch shopping (oh, yeah)
Yeah, I took her out, I took that bitch shopping (yeah)
Yeah, she backing up told that bitch park it (oh, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, let′s get this shit started
Me and my gang brought the sticks to the party
Yes I'm on fire, I think I′m a arsonist
My boy got his fire out and he poppin' shit
Damn, this bitch so squishy she like octopus
Italian restaurant, I′m eating octopus
Lil' bitch I′m still smokin' runtz, fuck what the doctor say (Clayco on the beat)
Yeah, we heard that he talking shit, we gone red dot his head
I like drank, green, purple and red
