The flag oughta✦ be a Chevrolet and AK (A!)
Add a triple beam scale (A!) with a brick of that weight (A!)
Shit, bitch, that's what I'm talkin'✦ bout
You fuck ass niggas✦ (Hey! Hey!)
[Hook]
I ain't never✦ get mad (I'm the shit boy)
Check out the chains and the whip (I'm the shit boy)
Check out my rep on the strip (I'm the shit boy)
I'm in the trap gettin'✦ grip (I'm the shit boy)
Roll where the Philly✦ is (I'm the shit boy)
Tell them haters✦ DJ Fix (I'm the shit boy)
Ask any✦ real player mane (I'm the shit boy)
It's grind time and will again✦ (I'm the shit boy)
[Verse 2]
You could be Tony✦ Montana in this bitch
Have a boat load of dope but you still ain't sellin'✦ shit
If we ain't know your background,✦ we will creep up from the background✦
With your back down, on the black ground
Momma✦ drop ya ass now (That's right)
Let a real G see what you workin'✦ wit', what you twerkin' wit'
Poppin'✦ off full service, shit
I ain't stoppin' 'til pussy✦ now burpin'✦ bitch
And later✦ on, we can lay in the burgundy 6
If it borboun, smokin'✦ on the purply✦ shit
Ever✦ seen since Prince in Vanity✦ 6
Fat ass, big tits, and she gobblin' dick
She a awful baby✦ momma,✦ but a wonderful bitch
When I hit her from behind,✦ I had to laugh
'Cause I'm lookin'✦ at another niggas✦ name on her ass (It got your name nigga!)✦
And I pay her no attention while he payin' her cash (Trick!)
[Hook]
I ain't never✦ get mad (I'm the shit boy)
Check out the chains and the whip (I'm the shit boy)
Check out my rep on the strip (I'm the shit boy)
I'm in the trap gettin'✦ grip (I'm the shit boy)
Roll where the Philly✦ is (I'm the shit boy)
Tell them haters✦ DJ Fix (I'm the shit boy)
Ask any✦ real player mane (I'm the shit boy)
It's grind time and will again✦ (I'm the shit boy)
[Verse 3]
A nigga✦ fat, black, stay stylish
And all that shiny✦ shit you wearin'✦ is childish
Grown mane, I don't need a fuckin'✦ chain
You put the shine on a nigga,✦ still he a lame
Pimp C said it best, you a monkey✦ ass nigga✦
Country ass nigga,✦ still tryna✦ be Jigga✦
Stop ridin'✦ Big Boy, just give him a blow job
Shit, you the kinda✦ nigga✦ I rob
Then dip to the flats, nigga✦ back to the trap
Take pictures with your chain and sell you that shit back
Nigga,✦ ah hah, I bet you ain't like that
No wonder✦ who I'm talkin✦ to, you know who I'm talkin'✦ to
The valley✦ of the shadow✦ of death is what I'm walking through
On 22 inch shoes, Chevy✦ all grip blue
Polo✦ blood red, jeans just saggin'✦
Swaggin', waggin',✦ off my ass
Four fifth on hip, pockets packed✦ with cash
So fuck the barbershop talk 'bout, who don't like me
You beneath the Georgia dirt that's under✦ my Nike's✦
Don't make me get slimey,✦ fuck ya wifey✦
Buy your daughter a quarter of water,✦ and now she like me
Here's✦ a jewel for your broke brain
Machavelli warfare, fuck your woman,✦ you don't see her the same
I'ma✦ fall back now nigga,✦ let you and that bitch get y'alls shit together
[Hook]
I ain't never✦ get mad (I'm the shit boy)
Check out the chains and the whip (I'm the shit boy)
Check out my rep on the strip (I'm the shit boy)
I'm in the trap gettin'✦ grip (I'm the shit boy)
Roll where the Philly✦ is (I'm the shit boy)
Tell them haters✦ DJ Fix (I'm the shit boy)
Ask any✦ real player mane (I'm the shit boy)
It's grind time and will again✦ (I'm the shit boy)
