Draco Blow for a shot

Drill lungs turn the blood clots

Niggas playing with blocks

Running in the drug spots

Try your luck, take your shot

Red Beam on the Glock

My niggas kill like a bad racket deal

Game drop, I juke the bag on that ass

Make you bitch niggas mad, buss a nut in your bitch mouth

And get on down on that ass

Fast money, tooth seed, the suckers running like cheetas

We shoot nine millimetals, blow your ass off your feet

Cause I made money off tweakers, cut them deals like on feet

Just cut off bitches, they leech, just all my young niggas preach

VBS on my teeth, that's how I'm gonna get my respect, aw

AK40 eat your flesh have no respect ah

New red bean, Roho, new 44 ocho

Fully automatic, hollow

Micro Tactic cholo

Lead color shooter, Ro Ro

What you gonna do with a thirty and a nigga gotta switch with a hundred up on it

Niggas like Mayday out here in these streets man you gotta snout running up on it

Man that shit hurt don't it, STD he burning, you put it on his ass, you put it on his mind

I bet you he learn it

Bitches looking up my network wondering what he earning, uh

Man this money don't stop for none no we're gonna keep on turning

These niggas shooting ain't doing no talking little nigga this ain't no sermon
