[English]

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Riding to the block after dark

and smoke that thumb of weed

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Baby

Cold Frody 5

I love you baby

Well it's 420 and I gots to drive

To my neighborhood for some Cold Frody 5

Fuck a busted up hustler liquor store bleeds

Creep and move quickly everybody beeping

Cold Frody 5, two zig zags

Two Carlo's with expired tags

Liquor store empty, get away parking

Just in case, bullets start barking

I flirt with the fine hoes

Crack jokes with the wineos

I know where the Cold Frody 5 is at

In and out like that 20 second flat

Money on the counter, bum this one

I can get shot if you take too long

I ride around the corner, throwing it in park

Go to shell swim up like a shark

I gotta close the gate hop out

Cough start back selling my caviar

What's up

My plastic cup, my stereo turned all the way up

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Riding to the block after dark

and smoke that thumb of weed

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Baby

Cold Frody 5

I love you baby

Rough expression on my face

Why do I like that nasty taste?

Maybe it's because I like the booze

Don't care who you is or who you was

I like the cruise the avenue

When smoking weed and having booze

Let off all my windows down

Tearing up the ground with my OG sound

I got for it

and the shit ain't fun when you getting handcuffed on a liquor store run

Got pretty women everywhere

And a brother can't help but stop and stare

At eyes, lips, and teeth and hair

Dress and size, staring

If she do or don't reply

I still feel good when she walk on by

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Riding to the block after dark

and smoke that thumb of weed

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Baby

Cold Frody 5

I love you baby

Remember that night I seen you dog

Gas hell and seen you fraud

Up my neck and shake my hands

Smoke that blunt with Afroman

Hit that bong, play my song

Put it on repeat all night long

With Cold Frody 5 overseas

Go to the state got to do album for my hella tune of these

Got my own label

Mr. Mix on the turn table

If you a true fan you can go to facebook.com/og

Afroman, A-D-I-G-I, Shady G

You took my Facebook page but yo

I took your lady with me

I rap the best, rap the west

Even take money from the IRS

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Riding to the block after dark

and smoke that thumb of weed

Cold Frody 5

Cold Frody 5

Baby

Cold Frody 5

I love you baby

Everybody, everybody, everybody just wave your hands in the air

And wave it like you just don't care

Just wave your hands in the air

And wave it like you just don't care

If you're not going home till you're drunk and high

Let me hear y'all say, Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Let me hear you say smoke marijuana, smoke marijuana

Smoke marijuana, smoke marijuana

Everybody say smoke marijuana, smoke marijuana

Smoke marijuana, smoke marijuana

When I say high you say Droe

High

Droe

High

Droe

When I say high you say Droe

High

Droe

High

Droe

Buzzing, Buzzing, Buzzing

Buzzing like a bumblebee

Don't want nobody, don't want nobody

To worry me

Tipsy, Tipsy, Tipsy

Travel like a gypsy
