She like that bubble gum

Two hoes choosing me
So I know that Imma win

[Chorus: x 2]

They walk it on the east
They walk it on the west
South side just got it
And north side snap your necks

These sucka wanna try me
Tell dem two long decks
He walking wit his ones
Steady smoking on that fruit
She walking wit her friends
All in her snow boots
O shit there they go
They walking on the flour
Grey goose
Double shots
It'll let ya body go
My niggas on my side
Hatas hating think it's funny
I'm walking on these niggas
Now I'm getting 2 the money
Froze on dem hoes
I'm not talking bout dancing
Fool count on the charm
Diamond steady steady hancin

[Chorus]

Ok now do it how you do it gone and walk it out
I said do it how you do gone and walk it out
Ok do it how you do it gone and walk it out
I say do it how you do it gone and walk it out
