Run away
Run away my babe
Numb the pain
Numb the pain
Numb the pain my baby
Hopped off the porch told my niggas let's get it
South Sac Iraq pop up on you like ribbet
My niggas be quick to pull up like it's fitness
I'm doing this shit give a fuck about opinions
Speak on my brothers then we get to trippin
30 Round clip eat a nigga like chitlins
My killers hellsent, have that bitch nigga missin
Wait, see that I'm hot and they hate
Put that lil bitch in her place
Fuck was I thinking
Say they in love but still speak on your name
Bitch get the fuck out my face
Holding me down then your ass gon' meet fate
Just like a racist, masked up with that k
We bout that action, these clips Michael Bay
Strap that boy in cement, dump his ass in the lake
Can't trust a bitch
Can't trust no nigga
Trust in nobody, like weather they switching
Shawty just know I'm a star, she was begging and wishing
Bitch hop out my mentions
These niggas be bitches, they not bout the tension
Glock named Laquisha, it came with extensions
Came with a beam
Came with an optic
I'm with the team and we fucking your thot bitch yea
Run away
Run away
Run away my babe
Numb the pain
Numb the pain
Numb the pain my baby
