Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay
Chill out, LaMarcus, man, all your gloves, man, your guns, nigga

Money man, money do, Ali and Lamarcus, huh

Front door, backyard, two story, one garage
Four cameras, no alarm, two dogs, burglar bars
Four deep, six sticks, one Blood, three Crips
Gum drop, Pixy Stix
Lollipop, hit lick

See, my Girbaud's saggin', Bo Jackson
Toe ratchets, toe taggin'
