Lil Jon, Three 6 Mafia!
Goose got me loose

Goose got me loose
Gone off patron
Money in my pocket
And I'm all up in the zone like

Crunk tonight just got paid
Pocket full of motherfucking money okay
I'mma ball till I fall
Drank till I can't
Runnin' up my black card I got money in da bank
Patron on the table crunk 'n goose
Drank what you want bitch gon' get loose
(Ooh) Act a fool till the cut the lights on
And we still ain't goin' home
Till all the liquor gone
I just don't give a fuck
Standin' on the table with the weed fired up
Drankin' out the bottle motherfuck a cup
I'll pour it in your mouth
Lean back and open up
(Oh) Crunk ain't dead bitch
You see the chain
And I'm the king fool you know my name
Party like a rock-star fuck like a porn star

And I'm too clean for this

Figured I'd have happen so I brought my team for this
Yes sir I'm the realest playa trap-star
Sellin' the biggest bricks

Smokin' purple ish

Girl between my legs

25 stacks at the bar
Ice on my wrist
Step up to this pimpin'
Get your braided hair wig split
Back up off in my Chevy
Brains blown out peanut butter
Ridin' high stayin' high

Throw them stacks up bitch make it rain nigga what
