Posted up on tha corna, movin' dat marijuana
Glock .40 on my hip, holl'in out "Chu ain't wann' it!"
My Glock stay cocked, rocks in a match box
Head garlind' on lock - I'mma go getta!
A nigga raided ya spot, conviscated cha block
And he didn't git shot - you'se a ho' nigga!
And I rememba you, do you rememba me?
8th grade leavin' school, rockin' up a quarter ki (Dat's wussup!)
T-tops on dat 'Z', I was passin' ya
Fish tail swervin' witcha bitch on tha passenger, side
Shawty, let's ride (Whuddup!), rims still spinnin' so shawty let's glide (Whuddup!)

[Hook]
See me nigga, say "Wussup!"
Wanna be me nigga - dat's wussup (Yeh!)
'Bout ya dolla, pop ya colla then you holla - dat's wussup (Yo Gott-Ayye!!)
