The people like, "Damn, that's a cold-ass honky"

Rolling in hella deep, headed to the mezzanine

Dressed in all pink 'cept my gator shoes, those are green

Copping it, washing it, 'bout to go and get some compliments

Buying it, washing it, about to go get some compliments

Passing up on those moccasins, someone else's been walking in

Passing on those moccasins, someone else has been walking in them

Bummy and grudgy, fucking it, I am stunting and flossing and

Bummy and grungy, rocking it, I am stunting and flossing and

Dookie brown leather jacket that I found, dig it
