Intro: 
Scene was so thick, low rides, seventy-seven Sevilles

All the players, all the hustlers, i'm talking about

on how i creep I's bout ta go in deep 
this is the way i creep my season 
here's my ghetto rep i kept to say 
the least no no it can't cease so i 
begin to piece my two and two together 
gots no snowy weather have to 
find something to do better bet! 
i said subtract so shut up that 
nonsense about some solid nine i got say 
crock if it ain't real it 
ain't right i'm like no matter what the season 
forever chill with spin i get my fin i chill with less 
and got my reasons so tell me what did you expect?

wearing afros and braids in every gangstar ride

in my back seat they passing herb reminding verses coz it's in the air i
