Stood with the real bosses, a real good time for grime When the gods built, you could get a bird on the arm (that's right) And e'erybody ain't dealin' Wasn't as cold as the winter Remember the center, when you was young And shorty had you strung out, with that little thing you bring out Was the self-starter, to a bigger and brighter future And somebody ain't shoot yer!

Thick-like, sick-like, body-wise Run through your fabrics like the Mavericks fans Break more money to make And good karma, and the armour And the strong drive for fortune, make a reliable team And make the realisation a dream I'll admit my dudes'll scheme, snatch the Pope But they was friendly last time y'all spoke [Bridge] A lot of people say my dudes is grimey, you know Maybe they not grimey to me, cause I know them maybe You know, I we came up together But I tell you, if you front they will get at you They grown men, you know And take it for what it is, they grown men They live this every day They like real wolves out there, I'm telling you [Verse 4] I'm condemned only by God That's why I go everyday hard For eight months I'mma be barred From reaching y'all New Yorkers My daughter, people across the water Nahk from the Ack store, Can I get a loose?
