Yessur! aha
New Skateboard P
Hey!
Let's go get 'em
uh-huh
yo, hola
Mearle maire, club muchacho
Asorted flavours, in they solatos
Inspire young minds, stacked by Nato's
With the right determination of a patho
Running 'cross the water with bricks at his poncho
Face like a shoot when it's bussin' my glock hold
Vanity stings, 'til I die when the holy father hands me my wings
When I was young yo the teacher gave me stanity dreams
Giving me music like drugs and they handed me things, they shoot it up
See me on the TV, the cuties they wanna fuck
Both presidental and plus, they hoop it up
Got more hits in his zip, who want enough
I can go back in time, you be Judge Eato
With my men and ?? I know you thinkin' Neato
Givin' peace to minutes, something like your T-Vo
But it's 3 hundred thousand more with no remote
Take it in the rain, I used to live with Tito
But he clowned me and told me that my money's free-doughs
Now the Enzo doors go up like a Dilo
Reon, same song some from my man Nigo
SLR, when the doors go up it's like a fresh elle jar
Nigga we boss, he shall not get hot, he too frost
Yessur...
[Bridge]
My nigga close your eyes,
Just picture you're self just holdin' pies
Impliment a plan and and you'll surely rise
Just promised by the man that controls the skies
Don't you see, I know that shit's so ill
Better yet, dawg, just tell me how you feel
...How you feel dawg?
[Chorus]
We just picture thinking, dreaming, scheming, breathing, reading, all in the late night
Shaking, boiling, lacing, bacon, shaking, shaping, gotta get this cake right
As I serve it, you just burn it, breathe it, learn it, now watch you take flight
...My nigga how does it feel?
Ha ha! Yessur!
[Verse 2]
Nigga you don't know me
I'm part Howard Hues, part horny, part holy
First trip on the ramp is the rock and rolly
Keep one on my staff with a new pro-chromy
If they priest need the mention that I've been biten
But a force be the chocolate where critics are written
He dresses insane where his music admire
Ask anyone from Vouge and Esquire And Vanity Fair you like can of the year
But you should guess who's in insanity chair
Now it ain't about what I want
Still thumbing through my life like a drug-star porn
It's one thing to say you did it
It's one thing to lie about your didgits
It's one thing to say that you live it
It's another for you fuckers to admit it
But I admit I got all this paper plus the prettiest faces that's off of our nature
I drive a Casper, s'cuse me Cassper, wanted meet me at my house, I got space like NASA
And it'll make me happy buy yourself a Sattle
Unlike my sister Stacy when she lost her papa
I been there, gettin stroke and nothing to trap-uh
John could do, when surrounded with true
A man dies, baby born, as far as Peru
It's a simple proof between us and imposters
We hop in the air, and don't care what it costs us
Now I'm with NERD with a pit full of Martians
I guess you could say that we fly like saucers
Zapping at niggas, with classing and figure
The cash and class whippers
The thrashing mag ripper
Go 'head and say it (you a rappin' ass nigga)
Yessur!
[Bridge]
My nigga close your eyes,
Just picture you're self just holdin' pies
Impliment a plan and and you'll surely rise
Just promised by the man that controls the skies
Don't you see, I know that shit's so ill
Better yet, dawg, just tell me how you feel
...How you feel dawg?
[Chorus]
We just picture thinking, dreaming, scheming, breathing, reading, all in the late night
Shaking, boiling, lacing, bacon, shaking, shaping, gotta get this cake right
As I serve it, you just burn it, breathe it, learn it, now watch you take flight
...My nigga how does it feel?
Ha ha! Yessur!
Nigga you don't know me...

Mearle maire, club muchacho
I'm at a cool club with a variety of people
Asorted flavours, in they solatos
People here have different styles and tastes
Inspire young minds, stacked by Nato's
I'm inspiring creativity in the youth and supported by NATO
With the right determination of a patho
With determination and focus like someone with a mental disorder
Running 'cross the water with bricks at his poncho
Moving drugs across water with bricks hidden in a poncho
Face like a shoot when it's bussin' my glock hold
My expression when I hold my gun and it's shooting
Vanity stings, 'til I die when the holy father hands me my wings
Vanity is a negative thing, but I won't regret it until I die and meet God
When I was young yo the teacher gave me stanity dreams
As a kid, my teacher gave me dreams of fame and success
Giving me music like drugs and they handed me things, they shoot it up
Music is addicting like drugs and people keep giving me things, I feel like I'm on a high
See me on the TV, the cuties they wanna fuck
Girls want me because I'm on TV
Both presidental and plus, they hoop it up
I'm famous and powerful, people try to hang out with me
Got more hits in his zip, who want enough
I have more hits than anyone, who wants more?
I can go back in time, you be Judge Eato
I have the power to control time and make you a famous judge
With my men and ?? I know you thinkin' Neato
With my crew and cool style, you think I'm pretty great
Givin' peace to minutes, something like your T-Vo
I'm making peace and bringing entertainment like your TV
But it's 3 hundred thousand more with no remote
I have more than $300,000 that can't be controlled with a remote
Take it in the rain, I used to live with Tito
I'm tough and used to live with someone named Tito
But he clowned me and told me that my money's free-doughs
But Tito made fun of me and said my money was fake
Now the Enzo doors go up like a Dilo
Now I ride in an Enzo car with doors that open upwards
Reon, same song some from my man Nigo
I'm working with NIGO and making the same type of music
SLR, when the doors go up it's like a fresh elle jar
SLR car doors opening is like a fresh jar of L
Nigga we boss, he shall not get hot, he too frost
We're bosses, we won't sweat because we're too cool
My nigga close your eyes, Just picture you're self just holdin' pies
Close your eyes and imagine holding a lot of money
Impliment a plan and and you'll surely rise
Create a plan and you'll succeed
Just promised by the man that controls the skies
God is promising this
Don't you see, I know that shit's so ill
You should know that what I'm saying is great
Better yet, dawg, just tell me how you feel
Tell me how you feel, dawg
We just picture thinking, dreaming, scheming, breathing, reading, all in the late night
We think, dream, and plan at night
Shaking, boiling, lacing, bacon, shaking, shaping, gotta get this cake right
We're working hard to make our success perfect
As I serve it, you just burn it, breathe it, learn it, now watch you take flight
I'll hand you the success and you'll soar
Nigga you don't know me
Don't act like you know me
I'm part Howard Hues, part horny, part holy
I'm a mix of business, lust, and religiousness like Howard Hughes
First trip on the ramp is the rock and rolly
I got famous quickly
Keep one on my staff with a new pro-chromy
I keep a gun on me for protection
If they priest need the mention that I've been biten
If a priest mentions me being copied
But a force be the chocolate where critics are written
My perseverance is the basis for my success that critics are writing about
He dresses insane where his music admire
He dresses crazy and people love his music
Ask anyone from Vouge and Esquire And Vanity Fair you like can of the year
Fashion and lifestyle magazines say I'm the best
But you should guess who's in insanity chair
But you should guess who's in the crazy house
Now it ain't about what I want
It's not about my desires
Still thumbing through my life like a drug-star porn
Still living life like a drug-addled porn star
It's one thing to say you did it
It's one thing to talk about success
It's one thing to lie about your didgits
It's one thing to lie about making money
It's one thing to say that you live it
It's one thing to say you're living the dream
It's another for you fuckers to admit it
But it's another thing entirely to own up to it
But I admit I got all this paper plus the prettiest faces that's off of our nature
But I'll own up to having money and attractive partners
I drive a Casper, s'cuse me Cassper, wanted meet me at my house, I got space like NASA
I drive a fast car, people want to meet me, my house is big
And it'll make me happy buy yourself a Sattle
Buying oneself happiness is like buying a saddle for a horse
Unlike my sister Stacy when she lost her papa
Different than when my sister lost our father
I been there, gettin stroke and nothing to trap-uh
I've been there, struggling to make it
John could do, when surrounded with true
I can do anything when surrounded by supportive people
A man dies, baby born, as far as Peru
Life goes on no matter where you are
It's a simple proof between us and imposters
It's easy to tell the difference between us and fakes
We hop in the air, and don't care what it costs us
We take risks and don't always think of the consequences
Now I'm with NERD with a pit full of Martians
Now I'm with NERD and we're weird
I guess you could say that we fly like saucers
You could say we're otherworldly and amazing
Zapping at niggas, with classing and figure
Shooting at haters while maintaining class
The cash and class whippers
Our cars show our wealth and style
The thrashing mag ripper
We're tearing up magazines that criticize us
Go 'head and say it (you a rappin' ass nigga)
Go ahead and say it, that I'm a great rapper
