And I made it with that dough flow

This one right here for DC

Tee my PA palace flow Hugo boss new balance flow

Here they keep a rachet close

And tend to think irrational

Bait bait bait bait

Bet I get like 8 of them

They clapping and we balling

No outfitting we at stadiums

(Bait Bait Bait Bait) BOA lil G, moco, cobain and Tre

Floor seats at that Wizards game

So close I could give flip a play

HA my mojo back

Majors gon' bring hovo back

Shout out chicken getting chicken

Like my North East Homie Fats

Who that nigga she fool with?

He don't do the same

Babygirl I just move them

I got that Goodman game

(Bait Bait Bait)

Who's on my line

I'm blowing up these bitches calling me (Bait Bait Bait)

I'll snatch your girl if your tripping

She's on my line like I'm fishing

Yeah you know I got that work

I'm why baby mamas leave I'm why baby fathers kirk

(Bait bait bait)

I'll snatch your girl if your slipping

Talk a little G not to mention we got that

Uh riding round I got some Towson bait

She said I'm her hideaway I get her off like a holiday

Yeah that girl is top heavy for days

That bottom half is fishy. What you a mermaid?

Getting on my level joe nuvo new and yellow too

They not pulling indo green like smoking whent that rello broke

Never did I pedal coke But Tony Louis said I'm dope

And Tony Jr. said I'm the hope

Big homie HOV said I am flose

And I got that bait they all bad

And they gonna fall in and out of love like my partner Taz

They need something to keep I need something to grab

Thats the end of my speech, I'm a need you to clap

(Bait Bait Bait)

Who's on my line

I'm blowing up these bitches calling me (Bait Bait Bait)

I'll snatch your girl if your tripping

She's on my line like I'm fishing

Black and white through the city guess this is gentrification
