Released: May 11, 2020

You gon' look around and see mister
Running up the block with a pistol
We be up in the kitchen
Cooking up that fried chicken
Poppa got superstitious
Hoodoo in the back with the mixtures
Gold medal running with the big dogs
Never gon' fall, it's a big fall
Brother Kunta, Sunny and Luther
King James in the house with the hooper
Body like a cougar
Lying in the wild with the luger
You ain't seen nobody like me
Hold the ball with the shining like me
Big old nose with a shiny white teeth
Where you at, where you at, where you at with that
