Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew countin' digits
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew makin' digits
Whew-whew, there go the cops
Pull up, brrr, right on my block
Officer, officer, what have we done?
I got my card, put down your gun
I'm not the criminal, you and I know
It's no coincidence how you come show
Up in my hood
Up to no good, huh
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew countin' digits
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew makin' digits
I need a full set, can you airbrush his name?
Quick color change if he drives me insane
Here comes the plug, bought two DVD's
A few pair of panties for me and my niece
Still buy my Polo from anonymous looters
The booster is cooler than all of the shooters
Up in my hood
Doing the greater good
Most of the mamas 'round here live alone
It's kinda rare to see two-parent homes
X and O chains, fierce to the bone
You learn quick how to make it on your own
My auntie sells candy from her windowpane
Do what we can to make us a name
Up in the hood
We keep it all good, huh
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew countin' digits
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew makin' digits
White tees, two for ten
I get my hair from Mr. Wen
Extension cord across the hall
Is how we keep the power on
Brown gel, spades game
Tax time, they all claim
Up in my hood
Proud to say it did me good, huh
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew countin' digits
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew makin' digits
The sound of the world
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew countin' digits
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Walk in and smell the acrylic
Me and my crew countin' digits
Me and my crew makin' digits
