Jay & the Techniques was a pop group, which was formed in Allentown, Pennsylvania during the mid 1960s. A group whose sound and songs were more pop than soul, Jay & the Techniques earned some points for the playful, joyous "Apples, Peaches, Pumpkin Pie," which was their lone Top 10 R&B and pop hit in 1967 on Smash.

Yea Ugh, where they at?
Ugh, where they at?
Yea, were they at?
Where the opp-pack? We trynna cop that

Keep it hidden, this bitch ain't a compact
Say you got drip nigga? Stop that
You Outta pocket I swear imma pop that
Outta socket I cock it, it pop back
Woo walk beats like I'm trynna bring Pop back
Yea, Hold on
I don't even listen to drill music
Said I stop drinking lean but I still do it
Put a stain on your tee, put the steel to it
Keep that bitch in my jeans, she gone feel through it
Put my balls on her nose like a seal do it
Slap a clip in that Smith like Will do it
Niggas saying I won't but I will do it
One in the head, it's gone hit your medulla and my Glock it came with a ruler, aye
Diamonds on me and they came out the cooler I think Aquafina the jewelry, aye
Ain't have a whip so we slid on the bike, If we ain't have a bike then we slid on a scooter
I had her skipping at school just to gimme some brain cuz I told her she needed a tutor
Ion care if you ready or not
Lil Ceasar's it's Ready and Hot
Give a fuck if it's heavy or not
You know DBE we put them Chevy's on blocks
Sippin White, I got Betty on rocks
Diamonds hit like confetti and rocks
In the trap they got Fetty and rocks
Is you ready or not cause I'm ready to drop
Ugh, yea
Yea is you ready, ugh
Load up a Glock nigga, ready up
Load up a chop, get it ready or sum
It won't no smoke til you said it was some
Put that bitch to yo eye like you Fetty or sum
Late night, pull up like Freddy or sum
She calling me Future, I'm petty or sum
Know that boy kinda sweet like a Debbie or sum
Ugh, let me put on my shiesty, I'm purging
Ugh, we gone open his body a surgeon
You gone die trying to get what I got cause I earned it
Like a yuck-bitch, these bullets burning
We gone make that boy hop, call him Kermit
Ride around with this choppa
Open ya matta
First nigga play, we gone pop off
Ride around with this chop off
I don't give a fuck we in Texas, get hit with that hot sauce
Like yo dad, lil nigga get dropped off
We gone send that boy like it's Top Golf
ABG, Anybody Can Get It
Since he cappin, we take off his fitted
Niggas know I'm the GOAT in my city
Nigga play you get hit with that Fifty
Ugh, Like you 50โฆ no Cent

Lil Ceasar's it's Ready and Hot
Give a fuck if it's heavy or not
You know DBE we put them Chevy's on blocks
Sippin White, I got Betty on rocks
Diamonds hit like confetti and rocks
In the trap they got Fetty and rocks
Is you ready or not cause I'm ready to drop
