I wanna bang aguilera and French kiss missy
I'm up in it, in a new york minute,
She's cookin me t bone steaks and eggs wit it
Wanna know what I got in that room
Couple of bars, couple of shrooms
And some weed, that shits for hallucination, a gangsta bitch who walks around naked,
Just in case a bitch can't really make it, (bye mami),
That's the way we roll
I buy the party and I take it home
Like diddy, I plan to sit on zillies, I throw it back and roll up a phillie
Cause my flow is silly, you feel me doe?
The fatman ain't eyin the fatman is buyin...
