Stony stone when I'm in my zoney zone

Smoking on the home grown.

Feeling like I'm all alone

used to go to Kingdom

Rucker park with Toney Tone

Listen in to Bone Bone

feelings in my bone bone, I could tell if-

I could give a fuck about a list

- Ya heard

I could give a fuck about a diss

- Ya heard

I could give a fuck about your clique

Ya heard

Shut the fuck before I rock your bitch

Ya heard

My mama named me, my papa gave me cock to take a piss with

To fuck your bitch with

Life is different for me

For instance that type of nigga spray his jizz in some

chicks he wouldn't raise his kids with

That's type of twisted sick shit

- Come on man

- What you say nigga?

Times out.

Let's start over with this conversation.

You sound super crazy right now.

And I got my two kids

- Listening.

- I'm just playing

- You said what?

- I said I'm just playing

- Uh-huh nigga, you got me fucked up

- Shut the fuck up

I could give a fuck about a list

- Ya heard

- Whoa, whoa, no. Hold on

- I could give a fuck about a diss

What the fuck

- Ya heard

I could give a fuck about your click

- Get the fuck out of here

- Go scratch your ass

- Shut the fuck uo

- I could give a fuck about a list

- Ya heard

- I could give a fuck about a diss

- Ya heard

- I could give a fuck about your clique

- Ya heard

- Shut the fuck before I rock your bitch

You sexy ass nigga

You see the dollar signs

Regular

Niggas got more chicken

than all 'them rap niggas out here flexing

capping with them cars that ain't theirs.

Jewelry that ain't theirs.

Chicken that ain't theirs, nigga.

Eight years nigga

Been getting chicken the fuck is y'all niggas talking about

the fuck is niggas about talking about out here

People really think I'm an asshole

I say anything.

truthfully I just say what I really think like I'm too

fresh, man to be underclassman

Would say suck my dick but that's sexual harassment

- Let's go

- Fuck around and Willy come through in the merce on you

Who you else you know design your stage

and do your merch over

and if you lame do you verse over

I change the game like I'm Kirk Warner.

I run the game like I'm Time Warner

This ain't no Teen Choice Awards I'm slime slide on you

and make your home for mama's fried roasting

and lean and beans,

tomatoes, potatoes and keys

and grams, just me and yams

Peep my repertoire, Uptown, Esplanade, Eleanor

Grew Ham, nigga going too ham

AK,

Jackie Rob,

East 11, 99,

Lenox Ave, VLONE,

East side, Wayne Stone

Stony Stone when I'm in my zoney zone

Smoking on the homegrown

feeling like I'm all alone used to go to Kingdom

Rucker park with Toney Tone

Listen to Bone bone, feelings in my bone bone

I could tell if- I could give a fuck about a list

- Ya heard
