He boasts about being from the swamp, with mud on his Nike Air shoes, and how he and his pack attack like bears, and can go anywhere like air. He talks about having the world on his back, while they told him to never look down and to aim down if he shoots an AK. He then references getting two guns, warning others to listen for the "choo choo," and proclaiming that he's not someone you'd want to front on or his pack will put your life on the front lawn.


Juelz Santana comes in with his verse, saying that they're "big city terrorizers" who you can bet some dollars on. He brags about his guns, including how they touch kids like pedophiles and how he stretches mouths like an exerciser, pressing guns in like a breathalyzer.

I used to play this song to death back in 2009, I know I had it downloaded on my old PSP. But I couldnโ€™t find this mixtape no where since it broke. I canโ€™t believe itโ€™s on YouTube. I knew it wasnโ€™t the original โ€œI canโ€™t feel my faceโ€ mixtape. I remember this one because of the Gas Mask mixtape cover. ๐Ÿ”ฅ Classic sleeper between these 2
