Turn up, turn up, turn up, turn up
I flex it on old
Turn up nigga
I flex it on cold
Where I be and where I go
The bitches know it's me
I turn up on niggaz
I flex up on hoes
I turn up on niggaz
I flex up on hoes
Balls and V.I.Ps before I rock the show
The niggaz knows it's me
I flex up on hoes
I turn up on niggaz
I flex up on hoes
I turn up on niggaz
I flex up on hoes
I hit them with the flex
I hit them with the flex
The niggaz talking...
I hit them with the tech
Nigga I go stripes like a motherfucking rough
Cause nigga I got ice round my motherfucking mic
Yeah, ladies said turn up
Though I got no .base
I kick it like a turn-up
And them niggaz are all clowns
Man I see them looking funny
They like the city man
I got my motherfucking bolo
...why are you retarded?
Bitch I got a dumb...
Playin' roll Shorty
You can't fool Loney
...They say I'm acting cocky
Where I be and where I go
The bitches know it's me
I flex up on hoes

Balls and V.I.Ps before I rock the show

Baby it's a start and you're present
Walk in the club
Got the ball for a second
Made it rain 20
Made it rain 30
Made it rain, Earny
Balled in that bitch 'till your dreams are worthy
...I ain't perfect
Forgive me
Get it right
I fuck up sex, I fuck up ...
We fuck up sex
Walking kind of funny
Cause I'm walking with Rex
...in my pants
Cause I throw a football pass
Where I be and where I go
The bitches know it's me

Balls and V.I.Ps before I rock the show
The niggaz knows it's me
