[Intro]
Hey guys!
Well alright, Well alright, Well alright
We out this b**h, yeah, n***a!
[Verse 1]
Grocery store line, mama countin' them pennies
Remember them days had to dine and dash at Denny's
n***as wasn't eatin', when your stomach get that empty
You might have to move and shake, just to get some Shake'n Bake
Top Ramen; top off the coupe was a ghetto dream
A thousand dollars cash was like a million to my team
See that's the type of life we only see on T.V. screens
Remember when my n***a had the stolen 3.D. one
I was on the block with a stolen B.B. gun
Robbing n***as with it cause I took the orange tip off
Pawning all I had but that sh** was such a rip off
Sad cause my clique off, couldn't afford WMATA
Doing what I gotta, my neighborhood was sorta like the beginning of Shottas
Except a dealer with Impalas would tell me be a look out
And give me twenty dollars
But then he went to jail and the charges gonn stick
So now I'm...
[Hook]
Cruising 'round the city, lookin' for a lick
It was me and four homies all piled in the whip
So we pistol in the draws, Swisher hanging from my lip
Counld'nt afford nothing at all, but I ain't even trip
Cause I'm riding with gorillas! The local somebodies
"You ain't nobody until you body somebody."
So we packed in the Rav4 then we hit the strip
Cruising 'round the city, n***a lookin' for a lick
[Bridge]
Two banana clips, we gorillas in the mist
Two banana clips, we gorillas in the mist
Two banana clips, we gorillas in the mist
Two banana clips, I hope my choppa don't jam, BAM!
[Verse 2]
Grocery store line, mama countin' them pennies
If we come up we get McDonald's or Wendy's
Or maybe Chinese; delivery from Yung Ho
My cousin had the b**hes, all I wanted was a young ho
But pretty bad b**hes never checking for a goon
Who wear the same everyday like a f**'in cartoon
The block is hotter than June and that Lil' Weezy C.D
We gotta go hard cause the sh** is never easy
All we know is E.B.T. and coming up illegally
One day surfing through the channels I discovered B.E.T
I was watching in amazement, like "Damn that could be me!
I ain't got nothing to lose cause if they don't feel what I spit I'll be..."
[Hook]
[Bridge]
[Outro]
Ape shall never k** ape, Ape shall never k** ape
But I will murder you for Bapes, n***a!
I will murder you for Bapes like rat-a-tat!
