[Chorus: Kurupt & Lil Wayne]

We won, we won

And then we shot that BB gun (Get low)

And they lost, and they lost

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (Lock and load)

We won, we won

And then we shot that BB gun (Yeah, me and my nigga^✦ Maine is in here smokin'^✦ and laughin' at you cats)

And they lost, and they lost

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (Let's toast to how funny^✦ these guys are, we lock and load)

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne & Kurupt]

Get 'em, get 'em, Weezy,^✦ hit 'em where you kill 'em easy^✦

Sit 'em in the river,^✦ leave 'em, they find 'em tomorrow evening

Sinkin',^✦ I'm probably drinkin'^✦ that syrup

Thinkin'^✦ I won't slip, even^✦ though I'm leanin'^✦ like a broke hip

He ain't know I got the nina^✦ with the full clip

That's a somersault, backspin, full flip for ya

Push this button,^✦ I flip out and hit something

Miss nothin',^✦ I'm just bustin'^✦ until^✦ the scene clean

Twelve hundred^✦ for the jeans, stop playin'

Hundred^✦ dollars^✦ for the Glock in my pants, who the man?

I am when I stand with it pointed right at ya face

Knock your brains from the back of ya neck for lack of respect

I strap a jet-black gat 'til the death

Tell my mama^✦ to bury^✦ me with that, no bullshittin'

My hood gettin'^✦ kinda^✦ crazy^✦ where I be

So Ronnie's with me 'cause he's the OG (Nigga)^✦

[Chorus: Kurupt & Lil Wayne]

We won, we won

And then we shot that BB gun (I told 'em)

And they lost, and they lost

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (Gotta^✦ duck your head, lock and load)

We won (These niggas^✦ mad), we won

And then we shot that BB gun (You know they hate you when you get money^✦ on 'em)

And they lost, and they lost (But they losin',^✦ that's right)

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (Yeah, lock and load)

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne & Kurupt]

Fresh out the back seat of the phiggity-Phantom

The haters, I make 'em madder^✦ when I wave at 'em like, "What up?"

If it ain't 'bout money,^✦ I keep goin'

I'm tryna^✦ get that green, niggas^✦ tryna^✦ mow my lawn, but fuck

Them boys, I got the shotty^✦ on my arm

If them boys run up, I leave they bodies^✦ on the lawn

And duck the fuck outta^✦ there, 'cause baby,^✦ it's outta^✦ there

If this was a movie, it's time to roll the credits, cut

It's all over,^✦ all of your brains is all over^✦ the motherfuckin'^✦ block, I'm a motherfuckin'^✦ rock

Hardbody,^✦ Eagle Street, seventeen shots

Night vision,^✦ double clip, hot steady^✦ beam Glock

Pop, drop, little man, drop

This is not for little bitches, you man or a fox?

I'm layin' in the drop, thinkin'^✦ of more money^✦

Cash Money,^✦ Young Money,^✦ take money,^✦ your money^✦ (Nigga)^✦

[Chorus: Kurupt & Lil Wayne]

We won, we won

And then we shot that BB gun

And they lost, and they lost

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (Yeah, lock and load)

We won, we won (You know, I thought they knew it was really^✦ real, Daddy)^✦

And then we shot that BB gun (Yeah, homeboy)

And they lost, and they lost

And we took they shit, now it's time to floss (My motherfuckin'^✦ wristband was three hundred^✦ dollars,^✦ no lie, lock and load)

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

Dolce & Gabanna

They should pay me for sayin' that shit

So is my jeans

They wasn't three hundred,^✦ but they Dolce too

Yeah

Mhm

We won, motherfucker, we winnin'^✦ over^✦ here

That's right, hey

Somebody^✦ call Gordon,^✦ tell him pull up front

Open^✦ the doors, suicide 'em

Let's ride out

If you got money,^✦ you know what the fuck I'm talkin'^✦ 'bout

If you don't, keep thinkin'^✦

If you can do that

Your losing streak is goin' up

Why? 'Cause we here

And I'll fuck this up today,^✦ straight up

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"leanin' like a broke hip"

① Physical act of leaning due to the consumption of promethazine-codeine syrup (drank)② A biological assessment of structural instability, referencing a fractured femur or pelvis

"nina with the full clip"

① A firearm (9mm handgun)② A play on the name 'Nina' as a personified weapon companion

Exceptional rhythmic integration and breath control

Consistent, high-energy delivery that maintains the pocket

Effective use of assonant vowel sounds to create cohesion across long internal strings

Vocabulary relies on repetitive genre-trope lexicon

Narrative arc is somewhat static, focusing on bravado rather than thematic progression

Wordplay is occasionally secondary to the rhythmic requirement of the rhyme scheme
