I'm throwing nuggets out the fellow I push to Carmelo
Yellow on yellow flooded the band and the bezel
Hear me now! Oh, no, did you see the hue
I took the Phantom to the Opera, same van roll through the ghetto
Can we leave hurr
Shorty need to make up her mind
I seen them niggaz over there, but they ain't takin' my shine
Got seven niggaz tryin' to be me, out here breakin' they spine
But they got seven different levels for they minions to mind
I want you both shorty (Oh) go get it crunk shorty (Oh)

Cause the, 'Tics is good, and the van is paid off
And I done got so damn cocky I took that Band-Aid off

[Chorus]

Third album, same focus, my intent is to get richer
I'm with my dirty Jazze Phizzle, he yieldin' that instrumental
Yous a cold-ass nigga on the track (Sho' nuff)
Man, I'm tired of poppin' these bottles, tired of fuckin' these models
I'm tired of these menage-a nights, yeah right (Psych!)
I was built for it, I got hip for it
I even got a little swagger in my limp for it
I done had, sex in the city plus sex in the country
You know, sex in the zoo directly behind the monkeys
Hold up! Don't get me wrong, I'm lookin' for Ms. Right
But tonight ain't the time, I'm lookin' for right now
It's two-thousand-fo', I'm in a new home
Threw out the Bentley bought a Double R and kissin' doors
It's like I'm holdin' on to permanent mistletoe, I think you been sittin' low
I got a driver dirty, he come when the whistle blow

[Chorus]

(Na-nana-na) I'm smoother than you know
(Na-nana-na) Cadillac do's and bank rolls
(Na-nana-na) I simply go places you can't go
Ain't see me in no Linc', but you know that dirty in Brougham
I be on my (Grind-na-grind-na-grind-na-grind)
With my money on my (Mind-my-mind-my-mind-my-mind)
Plus I'm still in my (Prime-my-prime-my-prime-my-prime)
And we be smokin' that

[Chorus]

(Na-nana-na, nana, nana, nana)
(Na-nana-na, nana, nana, nana)
