(Oh yeah)
So, Lonely, what you been doing?
Shit, chilling
(Oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah)
You know you don′t be chilling
What you mean? I really be chilling, you know what I'm saying?
I′m coolin'
I'm coolin′
Bad bitch, let her braid my dreads up
I′m glad to say we having this shit and we not broke now
I like CDG, Yamamoto, I'm really into coats now
And I can′t forget my mama told me that it's time to float now
I can′t cap, lil' nigga, yeah
It′s been some times where I done broke down
Had to go outside and grab an ounce and then just watch it break down
I be worried 'bout my pockets, yeah, I gotta make some' shake now
I be swervin′ the coupe, ain′t have no license but I got it now
And I paid for it, yeah, we having racks, nigga
And me and slime, we tied in
If I love you then you know I got your back, nigga
To my main bitch, yeah, you know I got your back, baby
I told my brother, dawg, you know I got your back, nigga
And I'm up late night, young nigga, I′m working then
I'm ten toes in my shit lil′ nigga
I don't care if it look like it′s not working, man
And I'ma be real, lil' baby
I don′t think I heard a single word you said
Smoking exotic gas and my big bro back on the Percocet
And I can′t blame him
This shit we built off being geeked for real
And I'm so deep in that water, yes, I′m Lonely baby Navy Seal
And I'm so locked in, me and this money, we tied in for real
And I like chocolate, see, I just wanna taste some M&M′s
I'm coolin′, bad bitch, let her braid my dreads up
I'm glad to say we having this shit and we not broke now
I like CDG, Yamamoto, I'm really into coats now
And I can′t forget my mama told me it′s time to float now
I can't cap, lil′ nigga, yeah
It's been some times where I done broke down
Had to go outside and grab an ounce and then just watch it break down
I be worried ′bout my pockets, yeah, I gotta make some' shake now
I be swervin′ the coupe, ain't have no license but I got it now
