They rob chains, they carjack, got a payback for all that
Don’t, don’t go over there, nigga if you ain't from over there
Run upon you with that nina, cash out right over there
Ain’t nothing changed, still fucking niggas over there
Catch them niggas slipping, then we leave them niggas over there
Your main bitch be blowing there, don’t get touring over there
Coke boys had snow in there, like Boston George that blow in there
Drop top off now my coupe looking brainless

And it led them niggas famous, gave you couple pages on the front news nigga

Cracks on the block, niggas call that lipo'
Hustlers on the corners doing pull ups on the light pole
Shawty got hit, ain’t even party yet
Been about a week the family ain’t get the body yet
Police don’t come over here, please don’t come over here
You on your own if you getting caught over here
She bust that pussy open, she’s a ho there
And knew a popping that you gotta, we was over there
The stash that you left, it ain’t over there
Fucked her 4 times and never went back over there
You know I don’t care, never gave a fuck
Like a church full of nuns, ain’t no saving us

Ha, load is here, better know my soldiers here
Mix it up a lil' more in here, thank god got my chauffeur here
Every time my show is here, and I know them hoes in here
And my flow that sixteen chapel, gotta know my show is rare
My flow is rare, and I keep my toes in Air's
And I keep my hoes in check, and I keep my foes in fear
Don’t go over there, nah, not there or there, or there or there
