I gotta go 'cause I got me a drop-top And if I hit the switch, I can make the a** drop Had to stop at a red light Lookin' in my mirror, not a jacker in sight And everything is alright I got a beep from Kim, and she can do it all night Called up the homies, and I'm askin' y'all "Which park are y'all playin' basketball?" Get me on the court and I'm trouble Last week, messed around and got a triple-double Freakin' brothers every way like MJ I can't believe today was a good day Drove to the pad and hit the showers Didn't even get no static from the cowards 'Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me Saw the police and they rolled right past me No flexin', didn't even look in a brother's direction as I ran the intersection Went to Short Dog's house, they was watchin' Yo!
