T.I.P and Young Thugga nigga
Yeah you know T.I. a Thugga nigga
Ain't nothing changed but the bezels and the rings
Watches and the chains

Hey, yo future my past

Just like a bitch I will do yo hoe ass
My Mac-10 is intergalactic what crackin'
You looking for action I"ll Pluto your ass
Lookin' fo' some trouble what it do nigga
I don't really need but a few of them
And for the most part I'm a cool nigga
But I'll stuff a mud hole into you nigga (Check it)
The hoe shit you kick I am not with it
You pull it on them I'mma mind my business
But ya come in my yard disregard my gangsta
Well I aim that banger

For the wrong thought, blow a nigga mind out

All I gotta do is make my plan
All the motherfucking games I don't play my man
If I slap his ass now in the mouth
