[Chorus]
You know how we roll nigga,✦ bring the noize
Y'all don't wanna✦ fuck with them boys
Come on dog put away✦ them toys
Cause I'mma✦ put in a clip and you'll get yours
You know how we roll nigga,✦ bring the noize
Y'all don't wanna✦ fuck with them boys
Come on dog put away✦ them toys
Cause I'mma✦ put in a clip and you'll get yours
[Verse 2]
No matter how many✦ cats he brought wit'um✦ I'mma✦ split'um
Hair raised✦ on my back get low and hit'um✦
Stopped him dead in his tracks
Knownin' damn well he don't mean what he said in his raps
Dogs don't know nothin'✦ but bust that nigga✦
Dogs don't nothin'✦ but fuck that nigga✦
Dogs don't know nothin'✦ but suck my dick
When it comes✦ to what happened dogs don't know shit
Did two years in one night
I popped✦ two peers in one fight
Two ears in one light, aiight, aiight
That's what it is follow✦
Too many✦ dick riding✦ niggas✦ wanna✦ swallow
Follow✦ my mans and them
And get popped✦ with yo mans and them is what I'm handin'✦ them
It's hot things, got things, stop things, drop things
Cook a nigga✦ like hot wings
[Chorus]
You know how we roll nigga,✦ bring the noize
Y'all don't wanna✦ fuck with them boys
Come on dog put away✦ them toys
Cause I'mma✦ put in a clip and you'll get yours
[Verse 3]
I been around the block did my dirt
Earl thorough✦ as in thorough,✦ put in work till it hurt
I've seen less pussy✦ in a strip club fuckin'✦ with y'all niggas✦
Yes that means all y'all niggas✦
Ya'll cats don't know what ruthless means
Will you be able to survive the truth I've seen
Cats wouldn't be alive✦ if you was on my team
But the truth is the ride is rough ya mean
Got me like GOD what the fuck
Dog gon' bang if somebody gettin'✦ stuck
Back up the truck jump right the fuck out on niggas✦
Empty✦ the five out on niggas✦ (P-pop, p-pop)
Hush muthafuckas don't you cry
Dog gon' make sure that you die
Point blank range so the slug go through
Then I'mma✦ hit yo crib and pop yo family✦ too, NIGGA!✦
[Chorus]
You know how we roll nigga,✦ bring the noize
Y'all don't wanna✦ fuck with them boys
Come on dog put away✦ them toys
Cause I'mma✦ put in a clip and you'll get yours
You know how we roll nigga,✦ bring the noize
Y'all don't wanna✦ fuck with them boys
Come on dog put away✦ them toys
Cause I'mma✦ put in a clip and you'll get yours
