Why

Why

Why, why, why, why

I just hit the club with about 30 on me

With my 30 on me

He tried to rob me, had to bury homie

Shoot like Curry, homie

Swish, I look like a lick

How the fuck I look like I'mma lick when I be hitting licks

I just look Footlocker, just got me some Jordan kicks

And my arcade of these hoes on my Rendezvous and shit

Rest in peace to hot boy G.U. you know that we is storing shit

If you ain't rocking with the gang, then you niggas counterfeit

Bitch, I'm shiny

If I was a tape, bitch, you come rewind me

Every label in the world, they wanna sign me

Cop that tried to find me

They put a charge on my jewelry for aggravated blinding

What the fuck type charges did?

Other 40 on them, see where his heart is at

That nigga said he a king, what car is it?

We got Dracos and them things, what them carbons in?

Hey, we gon' spark in it

Stupid drive-by shooters

Why you shoot that little nigga? He ain't do nothing to you

That young nigga had a futon

When I see you niggas, it's on sight, we gon' do you

I just hit the club with about 30 on me

With my 30 on me

He tried to rob me, had to bury homie

Shoot like Curry, homie

Swish, I look like a lick

How the fuck I look like I'mma lick when I be hitting licks
