0:02It's a fly love song
0:05To the effect of nothing effective fronting
0:07Is what I don't allow so let me tell you something
0:10I am a bonafide
0:12Not too modest and not a lot of pride
0:15Soon to have a ride and a home to reside
0:17If my mama is sick I'm by her bedside
0:20Used to watch the show on Channel 4 called Riptide
0:22Wash my wears in Tide cause it's too damn cold out-tide
0:25That's how the running's go
0:27If there ain't no dough then there ain't no show
0:29So take your roly poly fat promoter
0:32To the Chemical Bank and get my cash
0:34If you wanna see the people scream and laugh
0:37You best Quest you ask the Quest you ask real fast
0:39Cause I don't wanna see 'em start bucking
0:42Throwing chairs in the air while you be ducking
0:44What what
0:45Don't step to me with that
0:47If you promoting a show make sure it ain't wack
0:49Or else I'm leaving
0:51Let me tell you
0:52I'm leaving
0:53Let me tell you
0:54I'm leaving
0:56Let me tell you
0:56Your wack show
0:58Yo man what's up with that
0:59Yo don't sweat me
1:01C'mon five hundred that was the deal
1:03C'mon man don't try to play me out
1:05We don't need you sorry
1:10And the Abstract rapper says
1:13I want chicken and orange juice that's what's on my rider
1:16And my occasional potato by Ore-Ida
1:19Don't forget my pastry make sure they're tasty
1:21I'm not the type to be pushy or hasty
1:23See I'm the type of bro that's reared in the ghetto
1:26Took a few shorts before
1:28Now the only ones I take are the ones that I wear
1:31Ain't taking no shorts no more now
1:33Please act proper 'fore I call the Crime Stoppers
1:36Don't dip on the dough cause that's a no-no
1:38Make sure you count your money real slow
1:41Be alert look alive and act like you know
1:43It's the 90s time to make moves
1:46Not the 80s do away witcha womb
1:48So what
1:49You got a crew
1:50I got one too they're called the Brooklyn Zu
1:53Don't break fool let's be reserved and cool
1:56We don't have to act like we in grade school
