She rub my back and my feet like her husband, we thuggin'

Yeah, Glock 23 in the back of my Levi's, face to the side with the hat like I'm T.I.

Bob with the tape in the back like she T-Boz, fuck 'round and play 'cause I rapped and I seen God

Don't got a strap every day, but I keep mine (fah), I stop yo' ass, you can't rewind

Whip this bitch out in broad day, hit it three times, fah, fah, fah

I think I won't drive my Phantom, won't drive the Benz

Won't drive the Tesla, which one I'm in? (Whoo, whoo)

Wan' see her neck work, give me some chin (whoo), fuck is my net worth? Bitch, I got M's (yeah)

Fuck like a expert, give her a ten (whoo), suicide doors, it's the scene you get in (scene)

Doin' her like I did ten in the pen', cut the ho off, then I hit her again (Baby)

Go and get you some money or somethin', niggas waitin' on me, I ain't runnin'

Like a horny bitch, you know I'm comin', everything that they do, I done done it

All this motion ain't new to me, nigga, I been doin' this since a motherfuckin' youngin
