Get you open like butt cheeks, from girls who be freaks
Aye yo, can I be S.W.V.?

Yo, I'm rollin' with a forty pack of niggas
Get my weed from Branson cause his sack's bigger

Ferocious causin comatoses to collapse
So chinky eyed I see people wavin on a map

Your boombox better form a union
Cause I leave your circus overworked, word bond
Niggaz front like they want it
But I be in the five hundred with E steadily gettin' blunted
Damn nigga you cool at what you spittin'
So why you holdin' the blunt so long politickin'
Huh, I ace them blunts with the technician
Of electrician, I don't got a pot to piss in

I smoked with a lot of college, students
Most of em, wasn't graduatin' and they knew it
You know the weed slang? Yeah boy I speak it fluent
I light your college dorm with my entourage from Newark
Bigger they come, harder they fall
That goes for, knuckleheads, MC's, pussy walls and all
I lit my first L before I started to crawl
I got my ass whupped when I had my first brawl
But things changed since I was twelve years old
I specialize in wreckin' mics and area codes
Now, P.P.P. the kinda niggas that'll bug witcha
Smoke bud witcha, later on stick a sluginya
Everything that's like green ain't the bomb bitch
I got different forms to make you lose your calm bitch
Read my lips, you ain't hittin' unless you got
Ten on it, get on it, or get the f*ck out my cypher

You ready to roll this weed up?
Whateva man
You ready to rob this nigga?
Whateva man
You ready to f*ck bitch?
Whateva man
You ready to guzzle this liquor?
Whateva man
