Like 'Face, I got the money, the power and the finesse
To roll around one deep with hundred-thousand 'round my neck (hold up)
I'm lookin' real shiny, you can see me from a mile away
Thought you were doin' it 'til I came and took ya smile away
Pull up on ya side in the turnin' lane
Pop my trunk, break you off, chunk a deuce, then I'm Cadillac turnin', mayne (I'm gone)
Lil' swang to the left, big swang to the right
My plates scrapin' and I'm slidin', the pipe is super-tight (tight)

It's lots of money on these street, bein' spent and bein' made
All it take is one look to see these boys gettin' paid
They livin' laid in big houses with pools in the backyard
Certified gangstas, so you never see us act fraud
With iced out watches (watches), bracelets (bracelets), chains (chains)
Pieces (pieces), teeth, man, we throwed in the game
We got screens in the headrest, visors in the ceilin' (ceilin')
On chromey eighty-threes and fo's and Vogue peelin' (peelin')
With bumpers and belts across the back of my trunk (trunk)
Push a button and my car is wavin' bye to you, punk (punk)
We from the land of sippin' on syrup and (bangin' the Screw)
We slab swangin', comin' down and through, I thought ya knew (I thought ya knew)
Back in the days, all they ever did was doubt us

One time for my trill niggas reppin' the block
Them real soldiers on the frontline that's keepin' it cocked
They hold it down for they hood, throw it up, let 'em see it
So they can know how you G it, if they hatin', so be it
We ain't playin' where I'm stayin' 'cause it's way too real
No matter the situation ('ation), we gotta keep it trill
Got the steel on my side when I ride 'cause I'm ready
I got twenty-ten vision and my trigger finger steady
I'm an underground king, homeboy, and not a simp
And I gots to represent 'til they decide to free the Pimp (for real)
I'm down for my click just like I'm down for my block
And I'ma stand up for my partner 'til they let him off of lock (hold up)
So go on, body rock, southside or lean back
Two-step wit'cha boy if you about ya greenbacks
This here is the Texas toast, so raise ya glass
Because the whole dirty South is finna show they naked ass
