Verse 1: Hefna Gwap
10 years ago, around the block from where bookie got popped
Hangin up in flooda, like where had pots
It was me, rod, tutt, Roneisha & rashad
Hailey was her favorite
(Back to the explainin)
She used to tell us take that
All up in safeway, eat a gang of grapes fast
When big-lots was Mcfruggles
We used to walk out the front with games in the baskets
(But back to my explainin)
Her daughter got 3 baby daddies
One caged in
& I heard they bouta give that n***a life
Society call that hood famous
& he went down with her son
That robbing bug trinkles down
He has two kids of his own
That road lead down the same route
Sweet influence oh you taste so good to us all
Sweet influence oh you taste so good my two dogs
Hook: Hefna Gwap

Yup, we was young/ With them paintball guns shooting for fun
Verse 2: Hefna Gwap
7 years ago, 3 minutes from where manny got popped
When vicky used to that tin-can a freezer box
We would dumpster-dive, all day and night
Just to remake some bikes
(But back to the explanin)
James Brown in the living room
The same one where I used to get my dukey braids at
So many stories over "King Herion"
How my aunties taught my daddy how to cook crack
(But back to the explanin)
He daughter got 2 baby daddies
One caged in
& I heard they bouta give that n***a life to
Damn, my childhood was crazy
& Banga in jail with his son, they send me flicks on my phone
That addiction in us all, that addiction in them walls
Sweet influence oh you taste so good to us all
Sweet influence oh you taste so good my two dogs
