All you niggas get on T.V. and holla Town business
Where the fuck you at cause' I don't never see you niggas

You know I like to talk shit up on these trash niggas
But I keep it real, and that's a different rich
Get your money up, I'm all about the dividends
It's young Philthy Rich, Funk or Die tatted
A nigga play leave him sick like a diabetic
I'm from the Sem -I-n-a-r-y
You fuck with one of my niggas then you know we all ride
Top to the block, Sem City's finest
If you looking for me boy I'm on Seminary grinding
I'm good in the hood, 24's on a body
Young nigga in the hood just caught his first body




Ey get off a rich nigga dick. Why?
Cause' that's bitch nigga shit (Philthy)
