Feel like Fiji when I get on a roll wit em

Bitch i'm a dog came straight out da kennel
I don't wanna argue conversation settled

My rank is a colonel
Jump thru da hoops and I divvy the hurdles
That mean I don't got no squares in my circle
That mean your name got no place in my journal

One bank account got the balance bitch I like that
Two phones on me she keep calling bitch I like that
Three different whips for the weather bitch I like that
Four different houses for my braddahs bitch I'm like that
