Yo, it's Tone in the building (the teams in the building)

We packed to the ceiling (we constantly chilling)

Peace to Dirt Dog, I'm back like deja vu 
Leave your girl around me, I will bag your boo 
Ahh, you b**** n****z better listen up 
Anybody front, paramedics gonna pick 'em up 
They try to save you, sware to God, I hit the nurse up 
Like "Nah, doc, he look better in a herse truck" 
I tried to ignore it, his people saw it 
I ain't the type of dude you go to war with 
My polo gun yo, will crack the floor s*** 
When the heat's on, you know I draw it 
I had his number down, Toney just called it

Slap me one of the ratchets, I'm about to go in! Yo!

Gotta get that cheese, gotta pimp that V 
Gotta burn those leaves, and uh 
Pretty Tone make the girls say please 
Daddy work that d, put it in and be eas' and uh 
So what, come on, now some of y'all people 
Might know me from my wallabies 
Pretty b****es got my number, y'all can dial me 
I stick it up like an iced cake robbery 
And when I'm done, y'all can finger nail file me 
Floss the ill robes since Criminology 
Supreme Clientele, put the world on top of me 
Yo babe, hurry up, with those collard greens 
I represent S.I., ain't as wild as me 
They lousy, I'm phat like a pound of cheeba weed brownies 
Tone got the powder squeeze, don't surround me 
Quick to pick a honey up, s***, the flow's Bounty 
Ya'll can just crown me! 

[Outro: Ghostface Killah] 
Yeah, that's right 
I like to thank y'all for coming out tonight 
How y'all like that s***? Youknowhatimean?
