Quotable Lyrics:
It used to be a fistful of dollars, bag full of fish scale
All for the fiscal – let the Hemi fishtail
Ock when I work, hit the block – it’s a big sale
And we got them semis tucked – we ain’t lettin’ shit fail
Before I had juice spots, used to want to shoot cops
‘Rivin’ in the 5, knockin’ “All Eyez” by Tupac (All eyez, all eyez)
Pull off in first, let jerk in second
Re-up on the 31st, need work by second
I’mma get ’em some lead, it’s all authentic
Little cash-in fiend is the real epidеmic
I got Bush academics, a little Reaganomics
Got paid off of trees whеn Dr. Dre made “The Chronic”
Got drug dealer dreams that figure that have the wrong sleep
If I die or do 25, then it’s on me
Now I got the deuce, I get the Drac money out the booth
And the real f**kboys get the deuce – Ghost!
