(Mustard on the beat ho) Uh, tell 'em where I'm from
Finger on the pump, make the sixth straight jump from SoCal
Hollywood to the slums
Chronic smoke get burnt by the California sun
On the west side, east coast where you at?
Just got to New York like a gnat on a jet
To London, to Brazil, to Quebec
Like the whole damn world took effect to Ferg
Tell 'em

Lay back, slow down
Better represent when we come to your town
So lay back, slow down
What you represent when we come to your town
Say, get in with the business
I'ma be there in a minute
I just booked a pilot's ticket
Thinking Russia need a visit
I'ma run it to the limit
And be on my way to Venice

When I roll down the window, let me know where you are
Atlanta, North South kick it 'lac
Texas grill, Cadillacs through Miami then back
To London, Jamaica, then France
The whole damn world took effect to Ferg
Tell 'em

Lay back, slow down
Better represent when we come to your town
So lay back, slow down
What you represent when we come to your town
Say, get in with the business
