 thug to do

When you eatin

Gotta provide 

for my daughte

r n'em

Get the fuck up out my way, bish

Got that drum 

and I got them

Just like a pa

rade, bish

Drop that work

Hope them boys don't see my stash

If they do, te

ll the truth

This the last 

time you might

 see my ass

From the garde

ns where the g

rass ain't cut

Them serpents lurkin', Blood
         
Bitches sellin

              
' pussy, n****

But it's all good

Broken promise

watch

And tell you what time it is
           
Take your J's 

              
and tell you t

         
o kick it wher

              
e a FootLocker

In the streets with a heater under my Dungarees
         
Dreams of me g

       
ettin' shaded 

under a money 

tree
