B*tch stop lyin on me
I smash these rappers and beat up the track at the same time homie
Young lloyd done called and told me sit the dog on it
Huba huba imma doba pigeon
I'm black and mean
But i got mean from being behind that fence

Tramplin over you trifling b*tches
I cock one leg up when being
Full of blood pedagreens
B*ch i done told you

Imma dog on the song
Imma beast on the beat
An animal on pro twos
And a baboon on the tune
I'm a canine when it growl
Imma werewolf when it howl
I hit the street and rappers ran
Like f*ckin gunshots in the crowd

Yall was out there eatin shrimp
I was on that work out bench
But i'm back on the beach
Muslce up b*tch

Suck my d*ck if you f*cked up with it
No more beat my meat
Set me free

(Chorus)
Imma beast (imma beast)
Imma dog (imma dog)
Let me off the leash (off the leash)
So i can set it off (set it off)
Watch me sagg (watch me sagg)
Like rick ross (rick ross)
You actin so sad (so sad)
