Skit
Woah
Wooaahh
You gon have to fuckin' show me
Move ya body so slowly
Copped me a brand new Rolly
You gon blame it on the old me
But...all these diamonds dancing on me
All these diamonds dancing on me
You gon have to fuckin' show me
Move ya body so slowly
Copped me a brand new Rolly
You gon blame it on the old me
But...all these diamonds dancing on me
All these diamonds dancing on me
You gon have to fuckin' show me
Move ya body so slowly
Copped me a brand new Rolly
You gon blame it on the old me
But...all these diamonds dancing on me
All these diamonds dancing on me
She said that pussy was mine
And its like one of a kind
Then I told her
That I heard that before
But her brain so good
That its hard to ignore
But my heart so cold
Cuz its tied to the North
We went from smokin' a little to smokin' a lot
We not livin' no lie
We just livin' our life
We do what we want and we do it a lot
Damn I had a dream
Walkin' around feelin' like King
Had my lil Queen, I was Slim
I was pushin' weight like
I was in the gym
I was picking out all the seeds
And the stems like Cell Research
Takin' novocaine
Watch me body this verse
Now ya watchin' a lion at work
Lion at work
Now ya watchin' a lion at work
On Novocaine, can't feel no hurt
Watchin' a lion at work
Got my 10 toes, deep in the dirt, stuck in the dirt
On Novocaine, can't feel no hurt
(Feel no hurt)
You gon have to fuckin' show me
Move ya body so slowly
Copped me a brand new Rolly
You gon blame it on the old me
But...all these diamonds dancing on me
All these diamonds dancing on me
Honeymoon phase don't last
It's moonshine and love
One's empty, one is filling my glass
No holding me back
No holding me back
Like a anchor, tiger got you by the ankles
Now you movin' out of anger
If I'm wrong then show me a different angle
Kurt Cobain, I got a little fuckin banger
Listen to me to fuckin sang it
Kurt Cobain, I got a little fuckin banger
Listen to me to fuckin sang it
(Listen to me to fuckin sang it)
Look at your story changin'
Like your job was reporting all the seasons
Frostbite on my Rolly
All these diamonds drippin' all on me
I don't give a fuck now, you gave me every reason
If I did you wrong
If I did you wrong
Thats the old me
She said she don't need love
She need money
No love, need money
If I did you wrong
You gon have to fuckin show me
Move ya body so slowly
Copped me a brand new Rolly
You gon blame it on the old me




But...all these diamonds dancing on me
All these diamonds dancing on me
