Real dope dealers for real!

Haha!

Hahaha

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Whippin' the yam, whippin and flippin' the yam

Turn the whole brick to a Lam

Re-rockin' the dope, soon as it get off the boat

Keepin' it soft like a mink

Gold on my link, coke in the sink

Choppin' that work like karate

Servin' a new Maserati,

in a brand new Maserati

That's a whole lot of new money

Snatch it, then hide it from 12

Movin' and squashin' them bells,

servin' the rawest of yayo

Beating that china like Kunta Kinte

Whippin' it, whippin' that fish and Parkay

Drinkin' on syrup, I'm rollin' up haze

Made myself a boss, a boss or a plug

Either way you put it, nigga, I'm good

Triple salute, nigga, straight out the hood

Bakin' soda water splash the scales

Fork in my right and my pot in my left

Leanin' over, over to the side,

I whip me a four way to a nine

The dirty, the money is homicide

and my recipe can't be televised

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young enough to still sell dope,

but old enough that I knows better

When they sayin' it's 42 for that white powder, I knows better

Get it nigga? I nose better,

put a smile on the devil's face

Who don't wanna sell dope forever

and flood their Rollie 'til the bezel break?

Woo!

Fish scale in the two-door that I fish-tails

Fiberglass, Ferrari leather, in designer shit that I misspell

YUGHH! Look at the clues, the J's, the jewels,

I'm actin' a monkey

From sixteen years old, I'm whippin' in kitchens,

fuckin' my junkies

Pablo, Versace way before Migos

My dinner plates, no silverware, all you niggas my hijos

Toss a kilo like a free throw, crack house, it had the peephole

Made it through to the other side,

now nothing's big as my ego, Push

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Look at here. Me, I try to leave the best for later

But Pusha tried to put me on the respirator

The old Skateboard P, that's your favorite

Me and twenty girls doin' yoga naked

Frequency high, like a spaceship

She say that she like it and she's been exposed

The Gandalf hat and the weird ass clothes

That's Comme des Garçons and the Buffalo

I know guerrillas with the triggers that's on a banana clip

And packin' with the biggest missiles

These niggas is knocking over vehicles

These niggas ain't waitin' just to see niggas

These niggas ain't tryna hear plea niggas

These niggas like choppin' down trees, niggas

These niggas 1-2-3 and they squeeze, niggas

These niggas hit the weed then they leave niggas, gee, nigga

If you got two hoes, you need to let one go

Two Lambos, you need to let one go

All these drones while y'all smoke dro

There's an eye in the sky, I'm tryna let y'all know

Ain't no standards, I'ma set one though

Big ass bag but no man sandals

All that war, we need to let that go

That boom business, I'ma get that ho

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga got that coke, whip that dope like a bad child

How you think about that coupe, with no roof?

Young nigga cashed out

Popped so many Percs, popped so many Zans,

young nigga 'bout to pass out

12 jump behind me, I got some in the car,

young nigga 'bout to smash out

Migo hit that line, say he got some bricks,

young fresh, 'bout to buy 'em out

Quik Trip 'round the corner, dropped a nine

Got the J's in the hood tryna smoke a line

Cocaine, cocaine cowboy, like Mickey Munday

Take over the project, whip a line, me no wait

I keep a 45 in my coat, while I'm servin' dope

J's in my hood smoke that crack, say it give 'em hope

Serve a nigga whole brick, he hopin' that it come and go

Young nigga turnt up, spend that money with Casino!

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope

Young nigga, young nigga move that dope

Young nigga move that dope, they move that dope, they move that dope

Young nigga move that dope
