Quotable Lyrics:
You ain’t never outside, you’s a home body, ni**a (Aye)
You ain’t killing nobody
If you f**king with them suckers you’ll get smoked probably, nah

Bounce out, it’s the mops, get low
If you getting chased by Drak’s’, toe tag the ni**a
Don’t nobody miss him anyway
Don’t politic with Stockton ni**as but I’m good on black gates
Gales I got demons, on the G’z I pop a Perc’ and act strange
