His wallet and his chain was the promise in his brain 20 inch speakers, amps got his wattage and his range Smooth operator, player rockin with the 'caine Fiends hollerin his name (go Lo) got his product in they veins (go Lo) He said - "Livin clean only get you simple things" So he balanced triple beams, now the block is feelin flames Hot enough to make the Devil cop a lemonade Cops poppin out a shade, now the spot is gettin +Raid+ Like roaches, night approach us, gotta get away Quicksand, snitch ran to the cops to give his name Picture his wife and kids not up in the frames Stay dry, get wet, the only option's in the rain (drippin) Impossible to maintain, momma so ashamed Good Lord, granddaddy probably tossin in his grave [Chorus] - fades out halfway [over Chorus] Yeahhh boy! What goes up, must come down! Don't believe the hype, knah'msayin?
