Buckle up the belt threw the Southern Himalayas
Raise up off the dick , because you see ya nigga glowin' 
Over seas blowin trees with a long esa mowin'.

Peace a chain, diamond ring, cause I'm thowed in the game.
Back in nine-five I was broke catchin cabs. 
F*ck 'em all I'm a ball. Chop it up on the slab
