I'm like row row like I have cerebral palsy 
My flows be's wet like all you girls drawers be 
Crack the dill's spread the Buddha in the hid-ouse 
Roll it up and Diddas, who tipped in for the 10 bag 
Etcetera, I roll my blunts with two textures 
Pick up 50 bags and then I smoke all the extras 
It's the truth like funk 180 proof 
Don't drop your drawers I'll f*ck through your daisy dukes, true 
Put your fingers up in the air if your high 
I walk by, so f-in' dry 
I swing up in it 'bout an average as half as 
Good as Reggie Jackson's that's why you talk backwards 
And touch bills and Bogart shit like Humphrey 
You couldn't beat me if you ran with 21 Jumpstreet 
Or 90210 f*ck it yo, in the movies
I'm the Nigga puffin' Buddha in the back row 

[Chorus:]
I can't wait to get it on [Repeat 8x]

I'm just a smoky boy, I'm from the land of the lost 
You can't see me like Charlie Angel's boss 
I'm often coolin' round the Bliddocks 
I rock round the Cliddock 
My Gliddock cocked from here to 16 for Liddocks 
I tried to Thomas if I'm gettin' scopic 
I was built like two tits but now I'm butter like Blue Bonnet 
Now who got the funk, we got the funk 
A yo well, I got the weed, we got the blunt 
I never sniff, I used to puff Buddha's in the jail 
Back in 88 when it was 20 cent a gram 
You couldn't read me in braille, hell 
I write my names on walls in smoke spots when I'm buyin' L 
The fly guy with force like Luke sky 
Down for 8 ball see twa bitch if you fly 
The funkadelic been rockin' mic's since the fourth grade 
I terminate like X and I terminate like Schwarzenegge' 
Dum di dum, rock like Buju Banton 
Soup like won ton, f*ck by the ton 
Please, my whole crew's makin' cheese 
Tonight's the night baby so suck up on these 
And it's on 

[Chorus]

I said, I catch the A-train to the left, smoke the junk 
I set shit off like Boba Fett. 
Big up to all my Nigga's in the housing projects 
I'm Runnin' up in your contingents and split your guts, round and round 
If you get scared of my lines when I rock well 
Got wits like Pernell, shits the bomb like Akinyele
Rickety rock it, mind be best to knock this 
Waste Nigga's like toxic, wet like galoshes 
Can I handle my biz? Yes you can 
I 'cause chaos and bring a lot of def to jams 
Yes I can, now ask to get out 
Pop the trunk, clu-clunk and now give me a ba-bump ba-bump 
Oh, cool, smooth like two blue suede shoes 
Y'all faggot's stepped on my Huffman and Coo's 
Word to Dan, tan, pillow and cool be	 
Switchin' speeds like Bruce Lee ridin' a Fuji in a movie 
I drop on the one, f*ck the two three 
Funky like a box of Coochies on looseleaf 

Yo yo I said 
Switchin' up speeds, like Bruce Lee 
Ridin a Fuji, in a movie 
I've been sayin' some shit
Now, if you didn't get it 
Laugh now...  And figure that shit out when you get home
