Now the time flew by and it was soon July
And the days grew funky and hot
Now me and Spoon, we played it cool and I taught him how to shoot pool
Til he could soon shoot three in one shot
I kept him under wraps 'til he had mastered craps
And could deal a winning hand
We would practice all day then at night we would play
Poker, (?), and (?)
Soon Spoon got good at his own new livelihood
And now we were ready to deal
There was money to be made in this hustler's trade
And soon it would be for real
We gave (?) a ring the day before the thing
And let him know that we'd be there
But it was early in the morning, cousin Grit was still yawning
And all he could say was yaaaaahhh
Me and my man Spoon, we went shopping at noon
To cop us some fronts for the set
We needed some vines that would blow their minds
Plus give us all the finess we could get
We went to a tailor named Wong, who sold soap from Hong Kong
And could sew a suit on your back
I copped me a four bu*ton robe, (?)
Then we split in our (?) Cadillac
We went to Baby Blues to cop our shoes
Some comforts for toes and kings
Blue smuggles and ships and mix overseas trips
While hustling big company lames
We rapped for a while, then left Blue's in style
Sporting our brand new kicks
Went to a hatter named Max, and copped some straw diamond blocks
The split 'bout a quarter to six
We winded and dined and prepared our minds
For the task that lay ahead
Jumped super clean and split to the scene
Smoking Panamanian Red
