[Verse: 2]
Pass the pine to the pimp, old juice killer✦
Catch your eye in one glimpse, old school with the
Ass up high, the front dip, drip, bam
Mami✦ like, "Damn, Lil Wayne, stop playin'"
Baby,✦ I'm a baller,✦ I hustle with my father✦
It's the Birdman✦ and Birdman✦ JR
Flip them birds man, eighteen grand just order✦
Eighty-five✦ for half and forty-five✦ for quarter
Yeah, yeah, titty✦ baby,✦ put it in the air
I'm jumpin'✦ out this atmosphere
And I'm jumpin'✦ in your bitch if she at a player
Jumpin'✦ in the painted thing on them dang-a-dang
You see the arm when I pass, nigga,✦ bling-a-ling
You know I'm armed,✦ we gon' mash, man, it ain't a thing
You know I'm calm but I'm a gorilla, ain't a game
I got a banana✦ clip for all you orangutans
Let's bang!
[Chorus]
All my niggas,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
All my soldiers,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
All my hustlers,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
Now where you at? (Oh)
Now where you at? Say (Oh)
Niggas,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Soldiers,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Hustlers,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Say, say (Oh)
Say, say (Oh)
[Verse: 3]
It's young Weezy,✦ can't nothin'✦ see me, dog
I get you done easy✦ with one easy✦ phone call
And the sawed✦ off make your arms fall off
Like a short sleeved polo,✦ won't bother✦ me no more
Ice like strobe light, look like I'm move in slo' mo'
'Rari✦ look nice on low pro Yokohama's
With 20 inch chromes pokin'✦ out 'em
Crissy✦ to the dome, toke the ganja✦
Redbone in the shower,✦ hello,✦ Pocahontas
Give a long stroke poke for hours
Flow in vagina,✦ hoe, I'ma✦ holla✦
Sold coke in the '90s, I'm honest, man
Nothin'✦ big maybe ounces, grams
But I know how to double and sometimes it's scams
But I know how to hustle and some Glocks'll jam
But I know how to bust 'em and some drops'll slam
All alloy✦ buttons that's all stuntin'
That boy's somethin'
Yeah!
[Chorus]
All my niggas,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
All my soldiers,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
All my hustlers,✦ if you with me, where you at? (Oh)
Now where you at? (Oh)
Now where you at? Say (Oh)
Niggas,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Soldiers,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Hustlers,✦ if you with me, let me hear you say (Oh)
Say, say (Oh)
Say, say (Oh)
[Outro]
It's 500 degreez right here
They can't stop your boy
Fee slim, big fresh, put the house on your boy
Put everything on, on your boy, I got us
This gotta✦ be the last song on the album
'Cause once nigga✦ hear this, nigga✦ don't want hear no fuckin'✦ more
And mind you, I'm not a rapper✦
Don't get that shit twisted, nigga✦
I just do this shit 'cause I gotta✦ feed, feed my fuckin'✦ seed
You know what I'm sayin'?
Fuck y'all!
