These women all down
As soon as I touch down in they city
Man, they all coming out
They love me in New York
And down South
They know I'm from the Westside
And I stay with the loud
Big kush, long money
Bad girls, real niggas here with me
Everywhere I go, you know I'm solid

Hunnid with my bros, you know I'm solid

Snitching on your homies, that ain't solid
Tricking, she ain't yours, that ain't solid

I told her "Stay up out my pocket"
Stay the eff from 'round me
You can miss me with that false shit
You ain't drop none on this
