I'm working on my phone, call me back to [Bb] the McDonald's, bring me to my passport,
ride to the State Street, catch me in the kitchen like a snitch with the pastry,
[F] cruising down 8th Street, off White Lexus, driving so slow, VK is from Texas,
[Bb] me on my back, that's stop, home of that boy Biggie, now I live on Millbrook,
and I brought my boy with me, [F] said what up to Tata, still dimming my top,
sitting cross eyed next to nuts, give me high five, [A] I'll be spiked up,
I'll catch a referee, tell him about my attitude, got a most definite [Bb] lead.
