If a ***ga try me, redrum (Yeah)
If a ***ga try me, redrum (Yeah, brrah)
Get your money up before you go to war ’cause everybody wanna talk because I know they can’t afford it (Yeah)
Pay attention to the way somebody move just to get a leg up, thinkin’ that I’m Captain Morgan (Captain Morgan)
Peep the weakness in the game and exploit it (I exploit it)
The most fortunate is highly avoided (I avoid it)
Your perception ’bout a ***ga , destroyed it (I destroyed it)
When I look at you, I see unemployment, ho
