Look 'em in the face say rest in peace
Blood on ya mouth and ya spittin out teeth
Now you tryna be tight when you used to wanna to beef
If you ain't gon fess muhfucka don't speak
Gotta whole Lotta ex teammates ima cremate
Stompin and Pissin and spittin all over yo remains

Fucked in the brain and I'm in ya back seat

Don't give a motherfuck what they say about me
Weak ass bitch
Livin on ig
Suck another rapper dick like a real wannabe
You should get a life of your own maybe
See I'm really on some other shit hoe don't twist
Everybody thinkin' they can spit like this
Put em all in a coffin and ima bout to hit the nail on

Put em in a hole in the ground (Tired of this

Trick or treating with my lights low)

But I really got say
That at the end of the day when I got my Henny or Corona and kick back
And think back
Fuck I wouldn't change a thang
And I'm a lucky mothafucka with a lot on my plate
And now I'm in the game
We shoot the shit about the same thing
The schema da posse puttin on fa my name
And when I look around

The underground

Shits the same maybe one day

Youll think outside the box
