Tell them pussy niggas look me in my eye, nigga
Cause when we comin' through we leavin' bodies on the news
Channel seven, channel five, nigga

Y'all know, yeah, y'all know
We don't got no convo with the 5-0
Main bitch and side ho, a combo
Took 'em to the condo, pronto
Half Indian, I called her Tonto
