Got a .30 on my seat

Tryna pick up trash

I need me a bag

And my b*tch, she bad

She in style of passion

See me with a whole lot of cash

I need b*tches and a chain, they don't need to be savin'

Want me everything fancy

Hey, lil' ni**a, hit her, told her that she way up out my ear

F*ckin' all these precious, don't need a host and a street

I'ma stop her, need to go tell a ho for my meet and greet

Mama, I caught all my problems, look out for the trees

I run around with sharks, girl, run around with sharks

I be standin' straight from all this sh*t I seen

Don't talk about it

Be marvelous, sh*t, gon' catch him on the stand

Walk 'em down, ball out

Gotta be me, dirty diamonds, they need

I'm on the medicine, pushin' the Jeep, dolphins out of the street

I got to hack, I got sentenced to group on my grandma and dad

And I started to pray to the facts

Here three day that I can get to the b*tch

So I murdered the one on his side

I'm thinkin' that pain just part of my style

Been dealin' with this as a boy, a child

He said in a code, I ain't crackin' a smile

My head here, high, I'm goin' through trials

Ain't playin' in front of my father, the bag

He threw up the studio, that's in that lot

Rich Porter, Jet, don't walk around in school

357, just me and leave out, not sly

Aye, ni**a, hit her, told her that she way up out my ear

F*ckin' all these precious, don't need a host and a street

I'ma stop her, need to go tell a ho for my meet and greet

Mama, I caught all my problems, look out for the trees

I run around with sharks, girl, run around with sharks

I be standin' straight from all this sh*t I seen

Don't talk about it

Be marvelous, sh*t, gon' catch him on the stand

Walk 'em down, ball out

Gotta be me, dirty diamonds, they need

I'm on the medicine, pushin' the Jeep, dolphins out of the street

I got to hack, I got sentenced to group on my grandma and dad

And I started to pray to the facts

Here three day that I can get to the b*tch

So I murdered the one on his side

I'm thinkin' that pain just part of my style

Been dealin' with this as a boy, a child

He said in a code, I ain't crackin' a smile

My head here, high, I'm goin' through trials

Ain't playin' in front of my father, the bag

He threw up the studio, that's in that lot

Rich Porter, Jet, don't walk around in school

357, just me and leave out, not sly

Aye, lil' ni**a, hit her, told her that she way up out my ear

F*ckin' all these precious, don't need a host and a street

I'ma stop her, need to go tell a ho for my meet and greet
