Today we gonna be making crack>
We are going to manufacture a large quantity of a dangerous illegal drug.

Divide the finished product into individual bags for distribution.

We used to create drugs with wild, unpredictable results.

Flipping weight, flipping weight
Selling drugs and making a large profit.

Got get in and out before it be too late
Get in and out of the drug business quickly before getting caught by law enforcement.

I don't want to be 6 feet under
I do not want to die and be buried six feet beneath the ground.

So I pack and tote my thump
I carry a firearm to protect myself.

Suckers want to hate and block my thunder
Jealous individuals try to prevent me from achieving success and recognition.

Cause I got more kicks than a punter
I have more shoes and fashion sense than a professional football kicker.

Murder rates go up in the summer
The number of homicides increases during the summer months.

Killers go hunting like a hunter
Murderers actively seek out and target potential victims.
