How the fuck you a soldier and you ain't never go to war?

You niggas gay, SOD; Sucking On Dick, what it stand for?

Bitch, I'm Rico Recklezz I'm like the boogie man, the Chiraq Landlord

075 Rugaworld free Stain we posted in front of that store

This nigga Soulja been a bitch his whole life, trynna act like he won't smoke

Knowing damn well he put up cause' every time he pop out he getting poked

Choppa same size as Lil Mouse he gon' fuck around and get smoked

Steady taking pictures with that Draco knowing damn well you don't tote

Better ask around, check my background; I'm a bloodhound for that dough

My niggas clap rounds, you hear that Mac sound; Now your dancing ass on that floor

On the internet talking like a killer but you super-lock your door

You had a hit, but now you over wit, I wish you won't rap no more

Stay taking niggas rap style

Up in Chiraq, nigga you don't live this live style

Team no lacking bitch, I can't put the pipe down

Headshot will make his corny ass pipe-down

Lil Boosie [?] Lil Uzi bitch, I'm Money Longer right now

No movie, Freddy Kruger with me right now

It's Ewol rolling off a pill, drinking brown

Jayden in the cut; Move blow your ass down

[?] Atlanta but I heard you reppin' Cali now

You wearing red so you think you a Blood now

Know some Crips in south-central blow your ass down

In Chiraq location on, right now

Fuck probation, 30 on me, I'm on parole clown

Niggas say they balling but they really in the crowd

You swisher sweet and I don't smoke swishers clown

Super-Soaker wet him up, now he need a towel

You washed up, he just made a tape with bow wow

Disney Channel ass niggas look like Oscar Proud

Rico Recklezz been dope, you a Black&Mild

Five hundred thousand on my head, watch your check bounce

Go here told me your scary ass, leave the house

No reach out, little boy, I don't play around

Rico Recklezz keep my name out your fucking mouth

Before I had him interrogate outside the house

One phone call and your ass capping out

Ten K one on one, we can fight it out

From my city you can't come, you ain't welcome now

Block 23 like Mike, no bow wow

Block 23 like Mike, no bow wow

Block 23 like Mike, no bow wow

Go smoke this out through the jail, for I blow you down

Recklezz

Crank that

Rico Recklezz

Z's on shit

Whoop whoop whoop whoop
