No scent
Since I'm gauranteed in the lead I'm in
Ball bottle buying,
Papi sick no medicine
Sippin the elegant swank
Walk like elephants
Smooth the scene
Canvas color is green
I don't move unless the car clean
Call me
Dial Money in between
The boss like Bosley
You wont see but you heard it's me
I'm one of the henches hurdel-in
Murderer

This trophy my evidence
It's evident
Evidently niggas bitches full of Estrogen
In the corridor
Never bored
Get busy BITCH
Seven doors had that white whore on some corny shit

Poor em in that spore shit
