In the front of the club I see this girl like, "Yo love" 
Thought she said thug but she called me a scrub

Throw you on the street team, make you shit vinyls 
Hey yo Flex, shorty tried to flash me wrong 
How she gonna wear sandals wit nasty corns?

Hittin' you a scrub, call that bitch a Pigeon 

Hey yo, I got two nuts bitch, choose a ball 
You only walk Pigeon-toed cause ya shoes are small 
You don't shop, you just cruise the mall 
No dough, with Lee Press-Ons 
Frontin' with ya girlsfriend dress on 
You birds want to take over? 
Get some cash and a Jenny Jones makeover 
Broke Bitches, I hate Pigeons 
Dirty braid Pigeons, medicaid Pigeons, Section Eight Pigeons 
Got me fed, burned I tell these birds Shutup 
And how my left ear be double her whole getup 
Go ahead with your lame ass, blow at night 
Throw a ripped dolla at her, tell her put that on her depraved ass 

If you got more than one baby father 
Oh yes girl, we's talkin to you 
If you strip all week to go clubbin' 
Oh yes girl, we's talkin to you 
Buy a dress to front and take it back to the store 
Oh yes girl, we's talkin to you

Oh no, I don't want no 

No Pigeons

(Digi' rules) 
Greet your highness, Queen's finest 
Gleam shin as three clip street fighters 
Deep dish Jeep riders 
Outlandish in they expanded rover 
Passenger in my own whip, yeah that's my chauffer 
I rap for ya, that's my culture 
When I holla holla like Ja Rule 
You in a trance from the god's jewels 
Glance at my car, drool 
Ran like the concourse 
Wonderin' damn, how much the car cost? 
Ya just another fan, applause, encores 
And when I fly through world tours on Concords 
Don't need no chicken drippin, save that for Lipton 
No scrubs here, strictly Mo' Thugs, dear 
Check the listings, no Pigeons 
Flat broke chicks, out to get rich off the next bro's shit 
Instead of TLC, you give us brotha's B.I.G. trouble 
We're just Sporty Thievz, huddle game with the illest rebuttal 

Repeat 1 

Repeat 2 

No Pigeons 
No Pigeons
