Yeah, yeah, yeah, the weed
Yeah, Tiako', how's it going, brother? How's it going?
Nah, I got work to do after the afternoon
Yeah, rolling with a bare face, my brother, yeah
In a “ciao” mode, you say? Yeah, that’s right
Alright, let’s go straight ahead, straight ahead, straight ahead, direct
In the ne‑zo, in the ne‑zo, gang, gang
She asked me, “What do you do for a living?” (grah)
I told her I’m a forward for Fulham
If you ask, I only swing the scarf (grah)
I’m on fire in the villa, it’s packed with parties (paw)
R.I.P. to Tony, they’re all down (R.I.P.)
A streak through the city, like I’m Dibo (Dibooo)
Like Biggie, 2Pac, (gang, gang, gang) you see our whole vibe
Chest out, I’m vibing with all my crew (pah)
Chest out, I’m counting the cash and the gold (hah, hah)
