I tell ya what
Yo, know what I'm feelin'?
Check it

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo' (since we came down)
A lil' mo' sho', listen to the switches go (so smooth the first time)
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop (yeah, I thought I'd go trade the Rover in)
Zoop, zoop (for a six fo' this time)
Zoop-zoop-zoop (oh shit)

I'm comin' back down, baby (go swoop up the rest of the 'Tics)
This time in the six fo' (we gon' do this)
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go (and see if we can come back down a lil' better)
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
Zoop, zoop (you tell me)
Zoop-zoop-zoop

You can find me, same city, same state
Carryin' more weight, fishin' with more bait
More license plates than your DMV
Takin' more total requests than your MTV
Every, gaga, they call me, "Dada"
The rookie wanna signin' bonus for that pu nada
But my, salary cap won't allow me to give her nada
I guess she be a free agent until she find another
Call it fresh, for the D's on my ATVs
And if I squeeze, niggas fallin' like they last name Keys
Dirty, please, watch me as I switch my steeze
First name GMC, last name Denali
Why the change? Yu-kon not fuck wit me
Eight batteries, four pumps where the trunk should be
I hear the conversations, about Nelly, he overrated
I'm feelin' like Chris, slightly a little violated

Now what you lease I pay cash for, lit up like the dashboard
Went from the PJ's, to livin' out past Ford
What the cash for? Me to spend
Like the rims on the Benz while you pretend, nigga, I fuck twins
From the back end, back to the club and backed in
Went to the back end, gotta announce we back in
The place where my crew go
Iced out Jesus face and Parasucco
Bread sick I need your Pluto
Black Menudo, in the candy black two-door
Bmw Sport, check the Ra Report
What you thought it was a riddle? Yeah, them seats swivel
Cats be killin' me, talkin' ballin' and can't dribble
Bits and the kibble, ménage à trois was civil
Crystal y'all, head from all, eighteen to 80-ball
Hit the mall, nigga, and shop 'til we fall
And the bitches y'all be lovin', won't even bother to call

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo'
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo'
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop

I'm comin' down down, baby, duck when you see me
When Kyjuan comin' the spray, yo it ain't graffiti
No, I don't eat bullets, but I'll feed the needy
Throw up a L, but I won't smoke a L at the city
Truck is big, tires is meaty, yes indeedy
Excursion, lime-green so I know that you'll see me
Ky-weeze done brought them cars out
No doubt, like number three on Free City CD
It's not a game, I went from a GS to a LS
And LS don't mean low self-esteem
So clean, cats think I sip Ajax, suit Vokal
Nights mismatch, hard from Zat
I smoke herb, but what's the harm in that?
Hey Mr. Officer, where Clarence Harmen at?
Only got caught once, where my warnin' at?
Been in St. Louis all my life, ain't seen a farmer yet

(Back in 1993) was when a school boy decided to be an MC
(See, some said no, others said fa' sho)
And now we comin' back down, this time in a six fo'
Zoop zoop, open ya mind up for this lineup
No, we don't pitch but rich is how we wind up
Situations, entrepreneurs get dollars and new toys
(Wait 'til they get a load of my Impala)
We back back, matter fact goin' down down
You people need to calm down, Spreewells only goin' round
Actin' like you neva' seen a car dance befo'
They be askin', "How does it feel?", like D' Angelo (how does it feel?)
Picture wakin' up, all week, bomb weed
Palm trees, no kickin' it on the beach
Have to work all day, dirty, 3PM to 3
But at your local ATM you can find Murphy Lee

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo'
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo'
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
Zoop, zoop
Zoop

I'm comin' back down, baby
This time in the six fo'
A lil' mo' doe, listen to the switches go
Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop




Zoop, zoop
Zoop-zoop-zoop
