Quotable Lyrics:
‘Fore I got money, I was in the trap kickin’ doors in, I’m just bein’ honest (I’m honest)
If you want smoke then we cook ni**as up like a omelette, I’m just bein’ honest (Cook ’em)
Throw me a sixty if I go to Magic or Onyx, I’m just bein’ honest (Sixty)
I keep a stick or a blicky in case it get sticky, I’m just bein’ honest (In case)
She know that I’m with it, I’m havin’ this chicken, it’s trickin’, I’m just bein’ honest (I’m with that)
Who really gettin’ it? Be honest (Hey)
Posture bе givin’, “Be honest” (Hey)
Shе red like a pint, I got racks in the bank and these b*tches be hooked like phonics (Hooked)
I up on my rank ’cause I got ni**as spanked, ni**a, shh, death or dishonor
I think these ni**as forgot where I came from, ’cause I got mansion and mansions with lake fronts
I pull up Porsche, I think I’m James Bond (James Bond)
B*tch, I got choices, this sh*t look like crayons (Hey)
Turn into smoke, it’s no bygone, no bygone (Smoke)
Ni**as be bitin’, they bitin’ like Tyson (Rrr)
Ni**as got sticks, got Glocks, we ain’t fightin’ (Sticks)
Start up a war, then they start up a riot (Hey)
