Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Every night I'm drinking on syrup can't sleep

Hi-Tech, promethazine, real cheap

Codeine got me on the low in the creep

Smoked out, riding with Uzi in the jeep

Buffet Boys with the $uicide, know that we druggin

Look at my face, bitch, I'm numb, can't feel nothing

Stealing they place and it got y'all all bugging

You won't say no names but who else you see bussing

Just me and my cousin, stay busting and cutting

These motherfuckers only nutting and puffing

Lets see how it's jumping

When we up in public, don't bring out the old me cause

Then I'll start dumping, the blood will start gushing

All because of your fronting

51-50, bitch, I don't do bluffing

H-h-h-hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Before I hit the blunt I gotta pop a couple Oxy's

Cherry flavor coke i flip the cap and now im sloppy

Copycat motherfucker lookin like a pussy

I will fuck you up boy and your squad won't stop me

Call me a snake in the wrong habitat

Give me a name I will swallow the rat whole

Cold like the fucking polar icecaps

In a black cadillac killing myself in the back

Gaudy pack shawty smokin' blasts

Toting bags full of masks

Pop a tag off the motherfucking body bag

Oddy have a problem prolly never gonna solve em

Spotted cat looking like a fallen angel with no halo

Fuck boy funeral bitch I may go captain insane-o

Side bitch and my enemy is the same hoe

Driking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Hot boy, BG (BG)

That's the way these young niggas eat (eat)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Drinking on syrup can't sleep (can't sleep)

Yuh Yuh

Exuberant lunatics hop out the whip

Like Yung Thug and get through with it

I dated your momma, sedated your father

Then threw his body to the ocean he sank to the bottom

I ain't Lil' Scrappy but baby you don't want no problems

Who is that in the back of the Cadillac with the Mac

Cocked back ready to bang into his own brain

Triple $ be the set don't disrespect me

Got 100 more hoes just from this EP

1 shell to your back you a ninja turtle

Put your whole dead body in a fucking hurdle

I don't want to but if I have to I will hurt you

And if my lil' ass can't do it myself my lil' homie will murk you

Your girl is my bitch I know you smell the perfume, yuh
