She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
It be like that
& it is what it is
They shoot they shot
& most times they miss
When i make mine
They think its amiss
I throw hoes in holes
& throw holes into the abyss
I cannot sugarcoat what's already sweet
Hoes talk shit, dickeat & be the first to cheat
Fucking with socks on, she doesn't get cold feet
I cut a lot of hoes off, that tried to control me
But not once took the chance to get to know me
Then got in the habit of loving two ways
Fucking two broads from the same broadway
I was giving her a ride & got head on the way
Took a different route than what they had paved
I had to figure out myself & my wave
Dripping in colors you know that i rave
Always show mine ain't got shit to hide
How a side feel when she's put aside
I light up some gas & burn what i hide
Don't blame me for cutting knots i ain't tied
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
She was rolling wood back
When i was rolling backwoods
It be like that
& it is what it is
They shoot they shot
& most times they miss
When i make mine
They think its amiss
I throw hoes in holes
& throw holes into the abyss
I dreamt of us in the long run reality was we ain't belong
Since you left I been gone I blow with hoes & end up getting blown
Then pop an Advil when the head game be strong
I write about you but i can't right my wrongs
& I know you cannot either, it eats you inside when I eat her
She may be who i want but i don't need her
Bad bitches be bad for my health
Bad bitches be bad for my health
Bad bitches be bad for my health
Bad bitches be bad for my health
& worse for my financial wealth
Fuck all the people that can't see the vision
I take the risk without they Permission
They got followers I follow my intuition
Hoes be static like television
If you get close they fuck up the vision
In the long run they fuck up the mission
To feed the fam can't step in a kitchen
Hoes only a want check & i think not
All they cashing from me is these nutz
If the going gets tough the tough get on the go
Where does the weak go? I pull strings like doflamingo
She dates women so i ate the rainbow
She's bi & bi-lingual We chill when she's single
She gives me a joink & im ready to mingle
Connected the dots like im playing bingo
I keep fucking up pero no me rindo
All 'bout my money like cale if trees fall
Im raking leaves, It's money when trees fall
Can't fall in love with a booty call
I straight decline when the bootys call
Im rolling loud, like trees when they fall
Smoke to remember what i can't recall




trippin on weekends but i never fall
Swear im too gone i remember it all…
