Lyrics

[Intro]
227
What else?
Let's get it
[Verse 1]
Mr. Bo Jackson, got the colors of the spin moves when I send blues
Old T-action, gotta pay attention to the street signs and the symbols
Upside-down peace signs, stitched in the seats of the Benzo
Duckin' dump time on the east side with a six-three of that brindle
No weak links in the chain, never lit a flame can't be rekindled
No Tiddywinks or dents and tinks, and I'm the missing link to that spindle
Nor are the evils that men do to make the shit a lot more simple
Red dot a **** like a Hindu, head shot'll kiss him in his temple
Singin' **** lullabies, choppa cut and slice like a Ginsu
Teachin' **** how to pimp a butterfly, not let a butterfly pimp you
Wrist a brick of blowfare, don't go nowhere without the year's due
Toast to the smoke, outgross the most, end of the fiscal
[Chorus]
Stuck in the street, can't cut no corners, you can't cheat the grind
Full court, no scrimmages, it's only right to press
Jumped on the freeway from the port with twenty keys of shine
From Lower Eastern Michigan to boardin' private jets
Hundred a week, can't take no shorts, no leavin' me behind
My trigger finger whisperin', "Just hold me tight and press"
Stuck in the street, can't cut no corners, you can't cheat the grind
While **** thinkin' that this shit was overnight success
What else?
[Verse 2]
Worked pretty as a bitch in a pageant
Heard he got caught with a chirp, that ain't no civil infraction
Big four-fifth givin' captions, we control the strip, no traction
Trey five-seven in my hoop, shorts two-sport legend, Bo Jackson
Two-twenty-seven to the fifty zone, two-four-seven, no lackin'
Old English D on the fitty, reppin' fourth letter, Anglo-Saxon
Gangin' them, all they know is rackin', sellin' dope and trappin'
Puttin' pain in, post crackin'
Gang shit, but ain't no stackin'
No flockin'
Finna up the scope, catch him and we fap him
Put him on the flow
If you really gang then you know what happened
When I dropped him
Get a **** changed for a couple scruples
Hit him with the Allen wrench, heard that **** got a couple screws loose
[Chorus]
Stuck in the street, can't cut no corners, you can't cheat the grind
Full court, no scrimmages, it's only right to press
Jumped on the freeway from the port with twenty keys of shine
From Lower Eastern Michigan to boardin' private jets
Hundred a week, can't take no shorts, no leavin' me behind
My trigger finger whisperin', "Just hold me tight and press"
Stuck in the street, can't cut no corners, you can't cheat the grind
While **** thinkin' that this shit was overnight success
What else?
