[Intro: Busta Rhymes (Lloyd banks)]
Ay yo swizz (it ain't over) we done created another epidemic for the streets nigga

Ay yo just imagine if they cut the lights off in the club

[verse 1: Lloyd banks (Busta Rhymes)]
(Get low banks!) who you know that got a flow this sick
Pump shorty nobody can hold his click
Them hoes eyeing' they probably on my dick
The chocolate would look good in my all white whip (turn it up!!)
And you know I stay with the skits so don't even try
Kiss yo' ass bye bye you be alone in the sky
And the first human being now to learn how to fly
And I be low in the bm on my way out ny
(get low banks!) I know it feels like I been gone for a minute
But I'm back chinchilla ice on with a fitted
Everybody talk money everybody gonna run
With that bowl of bread smaller than the arm of a midget
(turn it up!!) and you know I'm doin my thing it's blue in the ring
If you had it like this you probably do it the same
But you won't cause you broke all you do is complain
After the club, I'm a put a few in the range and let 'em

F*ck you faggot, I shot at you
And what? you and you mans butt, you in your man's truck
But your chance is up, not get up (turn it up!!)
You know how that shit goes, let that shit go
