Kliko, we in this motherfucker man
I'm back, now I've been all around the motherfuckin world man
Forty Two cities, 11 countries

Of three years ago music and I'm still makin millions off my old shit

Have you rob me, statute death a unsolved mystery
Rappers comin out the closet like they Jason Collins
Rappers beef with other niggas, they don't want these problems
I just get it poppin', grew up, I didn't have an option
My youngins, they ain't got a option, they'll shoot yo shit up
That's facts nigga, stay strapped nigga
Ridin' round town with that same fat nigga
That's deep dash, window smack, choppa with a blast
Six hour surgeries and a body cast
Ah, ride on the enemy
