"Damn!" ("Oh!")
"You see that dunk? Nigga that shit was off the chain"
"Now that's what I'm talkin' about, looks like your boy Twan is about to get paid"
"Nigga go head home"
"Tell 'em, Sylvester, that shit was furious"
"Nigga, you see this razor to my head? You better back up, it ain't that serious"
"Oh my bad"
"Now man, sit down, T"
"And talk to me, what was that shit you was sayin' to me about a mysterious phone call?"

While Twan sits down in the chair, and gives Sylvester what he calls the script
Let's take it out to the streets where Pimp Lucius is with his hoes, on the strip
"H-huddle, I say, bi-bi-bi-bi"
"Bitches, huddle"
"Listen to me now"
"Somebody grab Nocea, and turn her ass around"
"Now, Pimp Lucius is at a loss. And somebody gotta pay the cost"
"One of you bitches been comin' up sh-sh-short"
"A-a-and I ain't no dummy"
"Bitch better have my m-m-m-m-m"
"Shit, y'all know what I'm sayin'"
"Y'all gon' m-m-m-m-m-mess around and make me slap your ass like I did Tina"
"And I ain't playin'"
"Somebody better talk to me"

Woah, meanwhile, betweeenwhile, let's go back to the barbershop
Where the game is over and Twan done won, and it looks like he done won a lot
"Well my man, how much is it gon' be?"
"Hol' up Sylvester, you ain't gotta pay for nothin', G"
"Mm"
"Haha, 'cause I got you and me, yeah, fools"

Now Sylvester and Twan is leavin' up out the barbershop
Continuing the conversation about the mysterious phone call that they both got
"So I'm like, how much am I gettin' paid?"
"You know what I'm sayin'?"
"After that, what did they say?"
"Man, they was on some all 'answer some questions about some people'"
"Did they say my name?"
"Man naw, why?"
"'Cause I got the same phone call, some guy"
"Yeah sound kinda like he funny"
"Yeah"
"But I don't care, as long as I get this money, you know what I'm sayin'?"
"Nigga, you already know"

"Wait a minute"
"What?"
"Oh, look at this here"
"Pimp Lucius"
"You know I gets my pimpin' on"
"Oh shit, ain't that your dude?"
"Yeah, I be pimpin' all these hoes"
"Fool, that was way back in high school"
"You knows I get my pimp- wait. Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait-wait."
"Sylvester, is that you-you-you-you?"
"What up, Lucius?"
"That's Pimp Lucius, don't get it twisted"
"Man, he can call you whatever the hell he wants"
"Twan"
"Ain't nobody talkin' to you, macho man"
"Man, you Don Juan knockoff, man, I will bust a cap in yo-"
"Twan"
"Haaaaaaa"
"You don't want none of this, motherfucker"
"I will kick your face off, hit you in your face with your face, nigga"
"Twan"
"Now back up"
"Twan, let me holla at ya"
"Yeah, that's right, you better tell 'em"
"I'm a pimp, never been a wimp"
"Daddy, are you okay?"
"Don't touch my arm, bitch, you're gon' make me lose my balance"
"Ooh, Sylvester man, I started t-"
"You started to what? Catch another case?"
"Now what did you promise me?"
"What did you promise me?"
"Alright, alright, alright"
"I was gon' chill"
"That's right"
"L-l-look like they 'bout to kiss or somethin'"
"Man, I will-"
"Now man, never mind that fool"
"Besides I'm hungry, let's go get a meal, on you"
"Hm"
"What? You the one with all the money"
"Yeah but I paid for your haircut"
"Yeah, I'ma call you Donald Trump right now"
"Yeah Sylvester, you real funny"
