Man a droppin' bangers on your baby mums
Gyals say I'm rude (word), they wanna see me nude (word)
My name stiff chocolate, I got nothing left to prove
I got holes in my lapel, rubbin' shoulders with your girl
Which one of, said that I would go to jail? (wah?)
Well, I guess you have to hold a L
Tell 'em "This is London city, we the hottest in the world"
