[English]

Woo!

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out

It's hard to yell when the barrel's in ya mouth

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out

Hey

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out

Hey

Bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out, bring 'em out

T.I.P., coming live from the V.I.P

Heard the nightlife lost life without me

Both the Feds and the State wanna see 'bout me

The whole city got biz-zerk, he got three

That other rapper got a hit, but shawty, he not me

Who set the city on fire as soon as he got freed

The king back now, hoes don't even know how to act now

Hit the club stippers getting naked 'fore I sat down

Still balling, money stack taller than Shaq now

Still push a button to let the roof on the 'Lac down

I'm on the road doing shows putting my mack down

Mississippi to Philly, Albuquerque to Chatt Town

I got the crowd yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all my hot girls yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all the dope boys yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, from the back, they yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Once again, what other southern rapper hood-er than this?

I got rich, and I'm still on some hooligan shit

You be rappin' 'bout blow, I was moving the bricks

You talking 'bout shootin' out, and I was doing the bricks

If I hit you in the face, you gon' be suin' me quick

And if I catch another case, I know I'll truly be missed

So I'ma keep it cool, head stay out of the news

Headlines and shows, other rappers is bedtime

It's clear to see that I'm ahead of my time

I copped a chromed out hard top Carrera to shine

I got some time, it ain't shit 'cause I get better with time

Who got a flow and a live show better than mine

I got a packed house yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all my hot girls yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all the dope boys yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, from the back they yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Mic check 1-2, 1-2, you wanna beef with the king? What is you gon' do?

Will you show up on the scene with two guns drew?

Or you and your friend'll play a little two-on-two?

If you do half of what I do, then you'll be hittin' the deck

I got a tool and a vest, I can get some respect

I'ma make it hard for another sucker to flex

Show 'em, this ain't the squad for a sucker to test

Pimp, my nuts too large, and we way too fresh

Work well with nines, AK's and TECs

And quick to check a lame like a game of chess

You want beef? Better bring ya best 'cause we'll be standin'-

In ya front yard yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all my hot girls yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all the dope boys yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, from the back, they yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, in ya front yard yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all my hot girls yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, all the dope boys yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Ay, from the back they yellin' (bring 'em out, bring 'em out)

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hands in the air now!

Hey, what's happenin', shawty?

The king back

I know y'all miss me for real, right?

P$C, Pimp Squad Click

The Grand Hustle, been a lot of hating going on, okay

So let me holla at these suckas for a minute, what's up with it?

Let's get 'em, dawg

You see me in the street, but shawty, you don't know me

When you holla, when you speak, remember you don't know me

You save all the hatin' and the poppin' pimpin', you don't know me

Quit telling people you my partner, nigga, you don't know me

Though we ain't cool, keep it moving, shawty, you don't know me

Hey, I ain't trippin', 'fore the troopers really get to know me

Yeah, you know they call me T.I.P., but you don't know me

You be hatin' and I see why, 'cause you don't know me

I think it's time I made a song for people who don't know me

I graduated at the streets, I'm a real O.G
